Anyone else out there want to add their own custom icon??

We are hoping that the software writers will take our suggestions in to consideration. Our biggest problem has been with people loading inappropriate icons.
The way the system is now, the icon feature is on or off. We would like to be able to turn it on and review all the icons prior to everyone else seeing them.
If this change happens, I'll post on all the forums letting everyone know of the changes.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
The icons would be loaded at night or over the weekends so we wouldn't see them until Monday morning.
The second problem was, once deleted, the person would just put it back up. The system does not tell us who loaded the icon so we could not go back to that person.

Maybe it's time to do that again soon.
Once I turn it off I can go through and dump any icons we wouldn't want our Grandma's to see.
If I do that, I'll post something so you'll know.
How's that for a compromise?
regarding my keets icon, it's still listed in the choices on the profile page so i'm assuming that it's been deemed OK. the problem is that it won't load. any chance of fixing it so i can use it? thanks.

I see what you all see from the image servers.

Can I count on you to behave and not put up any naked Kennedy's?
No problem from me. I think it's the Ike guys that you need to worry about.

does the red x mean they deemed my icon inappropriate or that there is something wrong with the url? i know that right after this all started i had e-mailed/pm'd you and bj and there were a couple of times my icon would appear as i posted but then be gone at the next post.

Keets - If I dump an icon it wouldn't show up as a choice on the list. The red x indicates there is a problem with the image on the server.
i'm sending a PM.

Great compromise- I'll be watching.
Its only like $140 and there is no better software on the market. Shouldnt be too hard to convert the database over either. I can help if need be.

I think this software does a good job. There are a few minor changes but overall we're pretty happy with it.

If the problem is a case of not having time to play watchdog, why not make one day a month Icon Upload Day? Say, the first day of the month, or last day, or whatever. Then there is a limited window of opportunity, but the door will be open for a short time (and properly guarded by appropriate watchdogs, of course.) Anyone uploading an inappropriate icon at that time could either get a warning, or more appropriately, get thrown off the forums.
The last time the door was open for a day or so, I missed the boat, because I didn't know when it was going to be open. If there were a set day once a month (or an announcement before the fact, that would be great).
I still have to win that nice proof 2c piece before I can upload it as an icon...
You win best suggestion of the day!
I think that works best for everyone involved.
Thank you!

LM,
I may have forgot to mention that it's on my snipe list.

and put on your bulletproof vest, while you're at it.
Thank you, O Great Forum Empress, Who We Adore and Cherish!
(Am I laying it on a bit too thick, perhaps? ...Nope. Maybe not. Flattery will get you everywhere.)
Do let us know when it is decided what day will be icon day. Maybe by that time I will have shot a big hole in Russ and any other snipers who reach their greedy claws out toward my 2c piece...

Who told you I was coming to Baltimore? As far as I know my next coin show will be the FUN show in Jan.
I wouldn't mind coming out but I need warning..I don't have what you easteners would call a "real" coat!
It's hot here in So. Cal today.
No Stacy, No Empress...........who does that leave?
what will we do?
I'm scheduled to be in Boston the weekend before (card show) and Chicago a week after that show (another card show).
Keni will be there I think and she's great.
Thank you
