Same question as above. Anyway, why can't we do that. Like, when we choose our avatar, why can't we change the colors on it or something. For example, if I chose an avatar with a Septagon on it, I would be able to change the background color. Why can't we do that?

Because that would require a lot more coding, and you can get the same effect by using your Halo 2 Emblem?

Yeah, but I don't have Live i.e. I can't bring a custom avatar here.

Try submitting a chapter theme. If it is an accepted and used theme, you should get the oppertunity to have a cutom avatr then.

I quote from the December issue of EGM "People here started drawing -blam!-es." - Frank O' Connor on why you won't be able to personalize emblems

Well, you don't get the theme as your avatar... you submit a theme and are then given the option of submitting a custom avatar for yourself. It's just that they avatars for those who have made themes so far [moi, included] have yet to be implemented. From Sketch's last post on the matter I suspect they're figuring out what they're going to do for other longstanding community members and integrating that with the theme builder's reward.

Are there any other ways to get a custom avatar?

become a moderator, a bungie employee, and if the idea of rewarding good members becomes reality, be a good member.

Q: Why can't you use a Halo 2 emblem as your avatar without going online with Halo 2?
A: Just because. Actually, the only reason you can even use your Halo2 emblem is because the resources and functionality of generating the emblems was already taken care of. The change to the forum software was minimal.

Q: What are the options for getting a custom avatar?
A:* Use a Halo2 emblem with a linked account.
* Submit a damn good theme.
* Become a mod (not likely).
* Get a job at Bungie (yea, right).

Be careful, it's also a sore spot with some of the theme creators.

They are still waiting for Soon to arrive. Unfortunately.

Be careful, it's also a sore spot with some of the theme creators. Understandably so, but they can get upset if you point it out to them too much.

So, we are going to get a lot more than just a search option when Soon arrives?

Same word, different Soon. It's confusing I know, but "soon" for the search and "soon" for rewards are entirely different "soons". Though they all mean the same thing, they come to pass at different times.

Well, wich one is Sooner? :P
