Avatar Captions

[cpr]

18 months to reply to an initial enquiry, do you work for the British Government too?

 

[GIMH]

I am HUGELY in favour of this as my avatar tends to be owned by others for about three-quarters of the year, don't want n00bs thinking I am Irish or anything

 

[G.I.Joe]

Isn't that the point of avatar bets, though?

[grecian]

I don't see why not?!

Avatar bets can include the captions aswell, double the humiliation

After the 06-07 Ashes, I had a Mike Hussey avatar and Waltzing Matilda in my signature

AWTA..could have given graigos a nice caption also

 

[biased indian]

what about this new arcade winner thing .is it where captions will come ...???

and if your winner in multiples arcade games it keeps running around ...don't look good though IMO (Eg: Cevno,lKKi)

and is it taking extra space in the page ???

I don't find the new arcade awards particularly work-friendly. When one is browsing at work, one tries to draw as little attention to oneself as possible, and any animation on a browser doesn't help matters.

This is like a train

For them.

Yeah, not a fan here either. Nothing to do with being caught at work, but it just looks untidy and distracts me.

Three years later, I think this is a good idea. Looks like it was never formally ruled out. Any thoughts, powers-that-be?

 

[Daemon]

As long as they aren't used to explain to explain a lost avatar bet I think it's a neat addition

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Yeah, still keen for this. Let me provide an example:

Cricket 24/7 - View Single Post - The END of Classic players

Apologies that its from another cricket website. Not even sure if you'll be able to see this without logging in, but this post is from a user who has the caption under his avatar "Black Dog Stopping Play!". Guess it would look similar on here if implemented.

Just make a condition of the bet that you also own the caption, as I think was suggested earlier in the thread

 

[James]

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

We don't want to make any changes until we make the move to vbulletin 4. Any changes made now may make the upgrade more difficult.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

When's that likely to be, James? Sounds like a major change from what I understand of these things. (Which isn't much, granted.)
