The Great 'Avvy' Mystery

[Nick]

So..what was the problem which made us keep the same avatars for well a long time?

Don't ask too many questions, Nick. You might find out some things you wish you didn't know...

What could be that bad? I'm sure it would be of value to release the software issue so that other boards who use the same software will know how to fix it.

 

[zmatt]

lol. You can say that. But i only counted the machines that are usable/used often. I have a lot of old junkers sitting in the basement.

erm, was that a sincere remark?

 

[Trotter]

Larry said it was something within the settings/permissions. He was still trying to find the right combination at the time, so I guess he found it.

 

[Nick]

Oh right, we were without them for a long time . Great they're back now

 

[Trotter]

I think it is was a case of going through major troubleshooting for the problem when it wasn't plugged in. Or, in this case, it was a simple setting but it was bring looked at as something broken in the code. We all thought it was a software issue because of the way it happened.

Oh well.

I see he just humored you with a story about "software" and "VB settings." He's just keeping you safe from the horror of the avatar stealing mole people that were infesting TF's server farm...
