Once you have reached 50 posts, you can choose an avatar from either the galleries here, a picture on your computer, or an image you find elsewhere on the Internet. The option to select an avatar will be found in your <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/pro ... Profile</a>.
Gosh do I have to wait so long?? I'm sure on a previous visit from a previous email address I had an "avatar" after far less than 50 posts, why do we have to wait so long??

Trust me, I've tried my best to make the graphics look nice. I even went back after you complained about Sid and tried to make it look smoother. I was unable to do it. It just shows shortcomings of the JPEG format (it doesn't look so rough when it's an uncompressed Paint Shop Pro image) when dealing with tiny objects in front of a colored background, and how it's tougher to get a distinct line to cut when you're dealing with the detailed look of computer animated characters.

This is a new forum guideline that was imposed last month. If you have another user name with another e-mail address, you should not; people are supposed to use just one username on the forum. I don't think having avatars just for regular contributors to the forum is unreasonable. Many forums don't have avatars at all.

I don't know if this is just on my computer but the Randall villian audio clip doesn't load all the way. Does anyone else have this problem?

Who thinks Scar will be among the top five Villains? Think about it- he's mean, creepy, kills a beloved character and has got partially black fur. He's the first badass lion goth and he should be number one!

I'd prefer to wait and see what happens rather than speculate now. However, there's already a thread for countdown discussion here (and another for villains discussion in general), one in feedback, and the older threads in which we addressed/nominated them. Maybe we could talk about that there instead of focusing on just one villain in this thread?

This is a nitpicky thing, but that's what a feedback thread is for, right?

I noticed that the font is significantly smaller after the first paragraph of each villain description. My text size is set at medium, and it's difficult to read the middle parts of the write-ups. I hereby request a consistent font size, if it is possible. Thanks!

Oh, I see. I understand your difficulties now, thanks for telling. Support you all the way, Luke! :)

From that post of mine down to Just_Myself's last post came from another thread that was started, and then merged into this one by Luke.

What Aaron said. I edited the title into the subject so there's no confusion. But seriously, Scar owns.

I'm a bit irked that Frollo and Lady Tremaine are only number 10 and 9, respectively. They deserve better than the outskirts of the top 10 list! :angry:

Ah, well. The "new Disney" lovin' people have voted, I guess. So who's number 1, then - Ursula? :roll:

Maleficent is bound to be #1, but I hope my favorites Scar and Jafar can be #2 and #3 respectively, with The Queen/Witch at #4. :roll:
