Not sure if this has been anwsered before or not. I have not seen it in any recent posts. Have they decided to remove the number of posts for each member? Is the scale still in use such as Wave, Depression, Storm up to cat 5? Or have they removed the system entirely. And if so Does anyone know the reason for this?

I remember during alberto there were discussions on this but that's all I remember no outcome. I figured this would be the best thread to ask this as it's not related to weather but to the forum and avatar/ranking. Thanks

*Edit Anwsers one of my ?'s the ranking is still there. This post was my 500th so switches to TS.

Katrina's eye looks pretty small next to Isabel! :P

I wouldn't mind having one of those, but ever since I registered, all the avatars disappeared.

Yeah, and after searching, I don't think that's Andrew either.

Go to your Profile and where it says Board Style, change it from SubRebel to SubSilver. Then the avatars should come back.

I was just about to upload some of my avatars, but before I do, how do you make them all below 15 kb? It is so darn hard to do...

You have more control over the size and quality when you optimize it in ImageReady as opposed to Photoshop.

Thank you calamity! Are the images too blue? Maybe I should experiment with different color variations...
