updating avatar

**Chrissmazdamx6** · 2-12-08, 13:33

I hate to ask such stupid questions, having been here since 2002 and all, but...how do you update your avatar? Ive searched all over the User CP and settings and I cant find it anywhere....I feel like a retard

**gehofff** · 2-12-08, 13:47

Lol, this is most amusing to me, only because I had the exact same problem when I first got my subscription.

On the left, you know how you have all the choices for all the sub menus? this is in the user control panel of course, its a link right on that left side, right under the vbgarage link.

Not on mine it isnt

It has the VBGarage link, and then it goes into the Private Messages category. I'm confused...

Hmm, how strange...

Because you haven't paid to support the site. It doesn't delete you avatar, but it wont give you the ability to change it unless you pay. You can tell because there isn't a little award like metal near your name gehofff has. I'm due to resign on mine too, so I feel your pain.

You know...come to think of it, when I had that subscription, I was able to put text under my name. I had "...is dead" under Chrissmazdamx6 because it was when I hadnt been on in such a long time. Now its gone, yet my avatar is still there.

This is all jacked up

I think the site is messed up, because I was looking yesterday, and couldn't find the paid subscriptions page. Another weird thing, when I click on edit avatar, it brings me to the edit page, and it says "Use of an Avatar requires an Identity Subscription." But, if I click that link, it just brings me to my thread subscriptions page.

They should be back up and working within a couple of weeks.

Based on that, it your identity subscription has expired since the option is currently disabled you don't lose your avatar but you can no longer edit it.

are you sure about that

**David** · 2-18-08, 23:54

Apparently I'm not. I do know that currently you can not get any subscriptions until the service is reenabled.

Yes Id like to know whats going on with this too. I got an email saying my identity subscription was going to run out, but when I clicked the link in the email it pops up with the forum message:

Quote:

MX6.com does not have any paid subscriptions available to which you can subscribe.

So how does this get fixed? If I dont renew, then the PM limit drops down to below what I have in there, and will max out my PM box. I need to be able to get messages, and dont have the time right now to save all the old ones 1st to MS word or anything...

Also there is no link in my UserCP that has paid subscriptions listed either. I even went into the FAQ and tried to go thru that link, but get that same message...

So Id like to pay please. Everyone loves money, right?
