AFAIK they do, because IIRC, guests use default-light (or do they?)

And what about 1-sided mathematical constructs? Especially blue ones.

- should be back in the next hour

- guests see avatars too. avatars display is unrelated to style setting

- flags are not server intensive

You never cease to amaze me, just when I get used to your yes/no answers, you explain something.



Thanks!

Well, there's no avatars now either, but I guess they should be turned off permanently during this season of releases like PtW and MoO3, but when the traffic levels get back to more normal, they could be then turned back on. At least the BBS would work abit faster as the number of visitors is now rising when Apolyton newbies are looking for information about these new titles. Or perhaps we should have a special feature that registered members that have been registered prior to ex. August 2002 would have the right to see the avatars.

Interesting... But could we have a promotional avatar feature that always shows avatars for registered Apolytoners that have been registered prior to a certain date, have a certain post ranking (ex. Warlord) or have the right to use custom avatars?
