Yes, it also shows for me, looks good.

I have been meaning to do a custom avatar but I am no artist, plus I don't really know how to do it. 10x10 in Pablodraw type thingy?

I see what looks like an upside-down chicken head.

hmmm, that was my old avatar... it was the lemonhead guy turned upside-down.

i think most people are seeing my new one which is my BBS name...

maybe it hasn't spread around yet =) i don't think i did all the steps for avatars though. i saw other stuff on sharing avatars amoungst dovenet boards, i'll keep working on it.

There's lag time in all of this. It depends on:

- When you save your avatar
- When you export avatars (AVAT-OUT timed event)
- When you poll Vert
- When everyone else polls Vert
- When they import avatars (AVAT-IN timed event)

On a new-ish Synchronet system, exporting, polling, and importing all happen roughly once every 30 minutes. Some people are probably polling and running events less frequently.

Just wanted to point this out since I've seen a bit of chatter about this lately. When and whether people see your new avatar depends a bit on both of your configurations.

Yes, I see your new one now (looks good!). If you saw echicken's
response, it explains how there can be delays in it getting out
and around.

That looks amazing, I assume it's in UTF-8? Wow, I love how the fonts are evolving in synchronet.
