Inactive icons, and a final thanks

[fignewton]

A year ago today, some lovely anonymous person gifted me and several others in the SG-1 fandom with a year's Premium Account. I wallowed in all those icons and enjoyed the ability to post polls. There are lots of other perks to paid accounts, but those were the ones that mattered most to me, although I'll probably miss the larger number of tracked comments, too.

Back to Basic now, sigh. But I did want to thank whoever-you-are again for giving me such a lovely gift.

And now I'm wondering if anyone knows how to choose which icons should be active? I don't see any rhyme or reason to the ones that were rendered inactive and those that are still usable (outside the default icon, of course - that one's kinda obvious). I could open a support request to ask, but I prefer the grand old tradition of asking my reading circle first. :)

Assuming it's like LJ, pretty sure you just have to delete down to the icons that you want to keep.

I'm... hoping not. But it's quite possible.

OTOH, I am utterly delighted to see that "inactive" doesn't mean "nonexistent" - icons that are currently inactive that were used in previous posts are still there. Much yay. :)

[abyssinia]

That's how LJ works - you only get so many icons, so to chose you need to delete down to that many. So it seems likely that's how DW works (I imagine they'll change it eventually, but it's probably lower on the list).

the inactive isn't noneistent is also how LJ works - which is, yes, great. Only if you delete them to get back down to a number so you can choose, then they go away.

It is sad, but, well, I feel like it's a "you get what you pay for" situation.

::nods:: Oh, absolutely it's you get what you pay for. No complaints.

Yeah. At one stage they were planning to change it on DW so you could actually pick, but I haven't heard anything about that recently.

[fignewton]

I do hope they'll make such a change eventually.

...and in the meantime, some kind person has apparently decided to treat me to some paid time, so my icons are back. :) :) :)

It's still assigned to Dre.
