Yeah, the basic ones are pretty horrible aren't they?

There are two things you can do:

Upload your own image and I will add it to the database: user ftp://www.manhattanreefs.com/ login: anonymous

or...

Get the URL of the image and put it directly into your profile. You can point to any image provided it is not too large.

Let me know if you have any trouble doing this.

Oh, in regards to your question about the custom titles....

We can do this, however the titles cannot be chosen by the user and are assigned based on how many posts someone has.

There are 13 different titles that I can fill in, I was thinking about something like this:

Aiptasia: 0 posts
Copepod: 1-10 posts
Macroalgae: 10-50 posts
Tubeworm: 50-100 posts
Peppermint Shrimp: 100-200 posts
Pink Hairy Sinularia: 200-300 posts
Branching Frogspawn: 300-400 posts
Montipora Digitata: 400-500 posts
Acropora Millepora: 500-1000 posts

Let me know your thoughts/comments/etc.

The only problem with that, is people become post whores to build up count in efforts to make them look "good". Its silly. I'd perfer NOT see a postcount based title/ rather none at all. Im sure others are like minded.

i concur. i can imagine all the peeps posting anything just to not be called a 'Tubeworm' any longer.

Hey! i'm a copepod! d'oh!

OK, no titles then.

BTW: I updated the Avatar library.

how about surveys? I wish I could start a survey to see if people would like surveys.
