generic avatars.

I think their should be generic avatars of all 12 choices of smileys for those who can't upload actual pictures as an avatar.

Re: generic avatars.

Good idea! I'll see if I can make some suggestions.

Hmm, this is actually a nice idea - I'll see what Cyclone can do.

Although I'd suggest only the first 6 smilies since they are original and classic.

Here's my take on the default avatars. better than nothing, eh?

Re: generic avatars.

Why is it that FluxBB is limited to such little options, and why is it that you chose FluxBB for Forumify? Seriously, we could have much more features if we had other things to power the forums, which could mean more appeal, which could mean more members, which could mean more revenue and Everybody Edits players AND Forumify users.

As much as I'm not a huge fan of fluxbb, I doubt it would make much of a difference. Since the only place Fluxbb's limitations come is after registration. :s

Flux is rather lightweight, so it makes a lot of sense for a 'host your own forum!' website to use, but I think Chris has the web space to host a forum onsite with full features, rather than a free forum, but that's just my thoughts.

Re: generic avatars.

FluxBB is lightweight and has enough basic functionality. I added many plugins already.

Alex, define "full features", do you mean a forum software like phpbb? PhpBB is bloated imho, and I've never been a fan of it. Difficult to configure, difficult to moderate.

Oh, and if you didn't notice, this is a "fan forum".

When I first posted; I didn't see Ciro's post. I like his default avatar suggestion better than RPGMaster's; it's more plain and sleek; but RPGMaster's was nice too; maybe for a more 'colorful' EE Fan Forum.

Because it's free!

So are:
BBpress, Vanilla, SMF, phpbb, mybb, Punbb, Quicksilver, Simpleboard, Invisionfree, and many others.

Re: generic avatars.

Fluxbb is a fork of punbb, it's highly redundant to list it too alex.

BBpress has an abnormal format, SMF has too many bbcodes (Formatting is nice when done right, but is it REALLY necessary to give access to [scroll]?)

Phpbb is a bit bloated, the admin panel is not very user-friendly. Mybb would be my second choice if I had to make another type of forum host.

Never heard of quicksilver or simpleboard. IPB is not bad, but it's proprietary and invisionfree is quite meh.

Re: generic avatars.

(Yay for liking mybb, my favorite forum to use, hands down)

I wasn't asserting they were better, as much as his argument is invalid, because there is forum software with the features being complained about.

Re: generic avatars.

I really did search around until I found a type of forum software that I felt would be best to start a host with.
