   I'd say that Strolen's been messing around with stuff again and set up the main page so that one's profile pic got displayed on the main site when your name shows up there, but that's just my guess as to the reason.  It could be that the site was invaded by gremils, and this is the end result.

   It has been like that for a long time, just nobody with an avatar has been making levels. Now I can actually see what it looks like.
   
   Not sure I like it, at least with the floating hobbes.

   I recall Murometz and myself leveling recently. He's always 1 step ahead of me. :p But, the point is that we both have avatars, so I think it's either a file type limitation or it just wasn't working until recently. You can't fool me, Strolen. You say it was there, but I disbelieve.
   
   EDIT: Hobbes could be our new mascot. If only he was a llama.

   Indeed, it is truly a bug as I haven't messed with the frontpage in quite awhile. The code is unchanged from when Muro made a level. I think it has to do with the path the attachments are in as that is hardcoded I believe. So depending on if you use a stock image or upload your own, that could be the reason.
   
   Will remove it as I don't like it right now, but that does make it interesting. Will have to dig deeper into the forum code more to see how it finds the correct avatars.
   
   Been messing with the wiki. Might just finish that today too...at least enough to experiment with.

   At least it shows you guys getting a level. I just gained a level after what three years or more of being inactive and it didn't even put me up there.... damn you Strolen... your making me non-existent. You don't love me.

   Alas Mourngrymn, it is true. He stopped loving you years ago and went back to his wife.

   If I have to manually edit the announcment to make you show up, I will.
   
   I suppose nobody wrote your name 3 times backwards in the shoutbox. That is the only way I know to get level upped.

   Alas for the love of a wife... all the true love that is missed and forgotten.

    I recently had a wrinkle attack. I need hugs and desperate crying over candles, emo style, in the dark.

    Gets out black make-up in preparation for emotional release.
