Could the forum allow two custom avatars?

It would be nice to retain an existing avatar while it's replacement is awaiting moderator approval. As it is one must delete the existing avatar first and use one of the standards while awaiting approval. As they are only 128x128 images it is hardly likely to stress the system.

    Well, it seems that one might have better luck, if the Adobe forum did not log them out, then back in as someone else, but maybe that is another story. Let's see how it goes now... ?

    Neale,

    Went to add a second avatar, and my original disappeared. I was able to reload it, but it, and my new one are pending now. Not sure what happened. Per the Adobe comment, we can now use two custom avatars, but it seems that a previous custom will go away. For a period of time, it appears that I will have the default "blue dude," with no features.

    We're close, but there still seems to be a hangup somewhere. With two custom avatars, it would be fine to keep the original, and then switch between the two, as is desired. Not so, in my case, even though Custom Avatar #1 had passed muster, and been around for many months.

    Now, if we could just eliminate some of those default avatars.

    Thanks for bringing this to the front. Maybe it was some sort of OE on my part, as my old custom avatar, plus my new one, are both pending.

    I too think its a good idea. leave the old avatar in place while the new one is examined (takes about 72 hours to aprove an avatar). then when aproved just switch to the new avatar and leave up to person changing to remove the old one after a switch.

    Phillip,

    Mine took 4-5 days, but that was in the early days of Adobe-Jive. I guess that the panel was concerned about what the two wines were - Zinfandel and Barolo, IIRC.
