THEMES

For a while now, members of the 7th Column have had a mere 3 themes to use to customize the look of their groups homepage. Well, thanks to some artistic and dedicated Bungie.net members, you now have a few more options.

The first new theme is "Halo Babies", created by HaloBabies.net co-founder and lead artist, "Grunstbane." Next we have "Xbox", creatively named for it's graphic stylings based on our beloved console. This theme comes courtesy of Mr. Smiley, longtime Bungie.net member and founder of the popular "MSXL" chapter. "Myth" is a throwback theme to Bungie's old fantasy RTS game and was created by "Psyched." Lastly, we have the uber old school "Terminal" theme which captures the high tech goodness of the computer terminals found throughout Marathon. This was created by "Sir Fragula."

Thanks to all of these guys for their great themes. And, thanks to everyone who has made an attempt at creating themes. While we have received many submissions, our standards are pretty high so unfortunately not many make it through our art department.

If you'd like to create a theme for use on the 7th Column, you can download the theme builder and read more about it HERE.

AVATARS

Ever since we rolled out the Halo 2 stats section on Bungie.net and allowed players to show off their actual emblems from Xbox Live, people have been pleading that we make these same emblems available as avatars in our forums. Your wish has been granted. Visit the "My Settings" page and then select the "Avatar" tab. At the top of the page, you'll have an option to use your Halo 2 emblem.

Should I changed my avatar, or should I not? That is the question. I've had the same one for months and most know me by so I don't know what to do.
Bah! So many options so little time.

It isn't fair!

One Problem!!!!

I love that we can now use our Live Icons as avatars, but they don't show up correctly if you pressed 'X' during the creation stage because then the part that should be hidden shows up on the forums.

On Live, my icon to the left is just an oragne circle with a bolt of lightning in it, no anvil. Please fix the problem, Bungie.

There is no option to use my emblem...

Do i have to link my name or something? Becuase this isnt my Xbox live Name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, you have to link you gamertag to the thingy when you log in. (Your .net password) Go to http://www.bungie.net/Help/page.aspx?section=Pages&subsec tion=Main&Page=5
to find how to link it. Then, go to "My settings" at the top, then "Avatar", then click the checkbox at the top.

Hope that helps!

Possibly, Bungie, for the members here who do not have Live, if you would be so kind as to have a "create and avatar" button that makes you create the in-game avatars right here on Bungie.net. That would be much loved by us non live users.

LOVE the new avatars.. The new themes are great also (esp. the Halobabies one) but is there any way to get rid of the bright lines inbetween all the forum posts? My eyes are bleeding because they are too bright!
