There are alot of card images that are missing from the avatar list which as PlayerOa stated needs to be updated. More avatars to use means the less common image being seen.

That's not a missing card image.  The most recent version of the game itself appends a 3-character code to the end of the export window to represent the mark - this allows people to swap decks AND marks simultaneously.  The forum code doesn't support the mark codes yet, so it's reading them as a ??? card.  Just delete it when you post a deck.

Delayed gratification is delayed.  Also, there are some good reasons for not allowing new users to use custom avatars... 1) prevent pornographic or offensive images being used by unknown people, 2) reward long-term memberhood with more individuality, 3) cause new members to be judged by their posts alone, not their avatar.  There may be other good reasons, too.

this, I agree
the default elements images should be available for even newbies... not Jr. Members
and once they are full members, freedom over avatar, as long as no inappropriate stuff

no no the new cards actually show up as ???, like in the middle of your deck. the mark can be deleted so it doesn't show but the new card images don't get recognized.

imo if that happened we should add a forum section that lets you make your own ava using elements stuff only seeable by Sr+

Not everyone have art skills to make their own avatars also i do agree with you guys the default avatars should be allow to new users, like comeon if you want these users to stay you need to atlest kept them here by giving benefits (Related to there forums account).

nah not at all. all you need to gain an avatar is a measly 30 posts. now members who cant even be bothered to put that amny posts up shouldn't even be on the forums. besides there would be no sense of achievement for obtaining your first significant  amount of posts.

precisely the same with me. just get up a word document, type in Killybob in word art, change font, colour black and outline white. then group with a nice image of a dragon. job done! now tell me there's something wrong with these avatars ;)

PS - i'm not happy that this auto-correct spelling system only recognizes the american spelling of colour (color) :P

Hey, we are going a bit off-topic now.
The request was to make the new cards as Mitosis and Sanctuary become default avatars.
