*Cough* Some of the formatting was lost. What happened?

The crawlers used to transfer threads to the new forums ate some of the more complex formatting.

ate?

Yes, ate, figuratively speaking. In order to enable the crawler to crawl everything before the time limit, it had to crawl the print pages. If you look at the print page of a topic, you'll notice that some complex formatting and tags are gone.

The last question, Karma, could use an update.

Also might be worth mentioning the max dimensions for avatars under the avatar question.

	Question: Why cannot I choose an avatar?
	You need to a Jr. Member for that, which means you have to have at least 30 posts.

Wouldn't it be "Why can't I choose an avatar? Or why can I not choose an avatar?
Thanks though, this has helped me a lot.

Can't is a contraction of cannot, so your first suggestion is technically exactly the same as the question, the only difference being that Why cannot I choose an avatar? sounds a little unusual, despite being more formal. Both options you've provided, as well as the question itself, have identical meanings and are correct in everyday English. Of the three the current question is the most formally correct, as strictly speaking Why can I not choose an avatar? means you have the option of displaying no avatar, and you're asking why you're given that option.

All that is of little relevance, however, when you consider that both the question and answer aren't that hard to understand, as well as being one of the main FAQs you might expect to see.

That said, welcome to the forums!

What happened to the Crucible Submission ? Is it postponed ?

I would like to have an avatar. If you count posts made before the forum relocation, I have more than enough to qualify (as silly as that is). Why am I not allowed to have an avatar?

Because you don't have enough posts on this one. That's just the forum software and that's why we have the Profile Restoration Project. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38313.0.html
