Frequently asked questions/getting around initial quirks with this message board

"My avatar won't load" It takes a few minutes but it should eventually load, just not instantly. 2. "I didn't quote that post" The quote button is strangely at the bottom of the posts instead of being above it like I'm more accustomed to seeing on message boards. I'm fine with it either way but I've seen a few other misquotes so changing it to being at the top may be best. 3. Username issues Chino couldn't use his name at first but now can. I noticed we also have AlphaChino here as well so perhaps whatever setting in the code for this system that helps avoid multiple members using the same name is set a tad too sensitively and could use some tweeking. That's all I have for now but hopefully this thread can help us hit the ground running and avoid chasing away potentially awesome members whom get frustrated by the bugs. Cool layout for the site anyway and I'm pretty stoked for the future of this community.
