Just to let you know that it seems that my avatar (Sage2 or Sage3) has vanished (it was automatically changed to Sage4, which I have changed). It's not just my problem - other scribes who I know had that same avatar as I now are changed to Sage4 as well.

Perhaps one of the effects of the ongoing CK 2.0 upgrade.

That's what I thought myself, but presumably an unintended effect. That's why I posted it; I thought Alaundo might want to know.

So there are four of me now?

If only I could harness their collective power. Imagine how much more I could assign to my "To-Do" list?

I suspect it would be the reverse. Four Sages would just create four To-Do lists.

I would expect that this is probably be closer to the truth than even I could realise.

Well met

Hmmmmm most odd. I have not changed anything in relation to this, nor removed any avatar. Thanks for letting me know, Thieran. I will look into this.

You're welcome! If I am not mistaken, the vanished avatar I had was Raistlin's face from this Elmore piece (on the left-hand side): http://larryelmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/COMPANIO.jpg

Maybe it, somehow, had to dow ith my avatar changing? Mine looked like Raistlin before refreshing the screen with ctrl+F5. Maybe a naming issue?

You are actually one of the scribes I referred to in my OP ;)
And you are right, it could be related to our names: Thieran, Thelonius and Thauramarth all start with Th, had the Raistlin avatar (Sage2 or 3) and were subject to the change.

So if someone would use a name starting with De, I should be alarmed?

Oh, I know a lot of people around my way who have often attempted to imitate me. But they can never quite get the absent-minded-ism right.

As I recall, Alaundo was going to look into it. I don't think he's provided any updates on that search, though.

They vanished when I changed mine wich was Elmore's Raistlin image. I was the one who edited that avatar and sent him to Big Al in the first place, could it have something to do with it? So perhpas it will be a matter of creting it again and introducing it in the avy's database?

Well met

Apologies for the delay, Thieran.

Hmmm a bit baffled on the search for the missing Sages. There one which doesnt not appear in the database (grey hair, teal garb, pondering pose), but no others have been found.

That's Raistlin from the old cover of Test of the Twin, right? Though the color is a bit different from what I can recall.

I see. Nice. I checked the original cover of Test of the Twins and realized it couldn't be it because Raistlin is facing left there.
