Any chance of being able to upload an icon on the 15th this month? I'm tired of looking like someone else - I want to show my face!

SportsModerator2

Since the 15th falls on a Sat. I will be turning this function on the Friday prior.
It will be available from 10AM - 4PM Pacific time.

Thanks a lot! If my icon doesn't make you happy, then nothing in this world will make you happy.

Carol> For those of us who missed it, could you please explain why icons can be uploaded only during a 6 hour period each month? Why was it deemed necessary to restrict this feature/function to such a degree?

Mike:

In the beginning we had it open at all times, then a few people thought it would be fun to have inappropriate icons (mainly porn) so now we do this once a month and I do try and review the icons. If we find one that’s not appropriate, we will delete it from the list.

what's wrong with porn ?

Nothing if you're a Yankee fan.

Murcerfan will be switching his icon to Ron Jeremy. (not the "In Action" version)

Moderator -- While you are at it, could you also please disable Murcerfan's EDIT feature on his account? He has an uncanny knack of posting some of the best zingers ever written on this board, but for some unknown reason he always manages to edit or delete them a little while later.

Carol> I understand the need to preview icons before they are allowed to be "live". . .but allowing upload for only 6 hours per month seems restrictive in the extreme. I mean 10am to 4pm Pacific Time is noon to 6pm Central Time - or 1pm to 7pm Eastern.

I would argue that the vast majority of forum participants have to work during these hours - regardless of which time zone they are in. I can't be the only one who finds this to be unreasonable and feels there has to be a happy medium that works for PSA/CU AND forum members.

I have to echo Mcastaldi's dissatisfaction here. I've tried for 2 months to get an icon uploaded but was too late in each case. There must be a way to please such loyal PSA members as us. I can beg if you want me to.
