Same for me here. I cannot for the life of me upload any avatar. And yet, it's a jpg with the right size.


100 x 100 wouldn't work for me even though it said that was the limit.  No idea what the deal was.  So I tried 99 x 99 and it worked.

Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't work either. Yet, I have this avatar on the other forums I'm a member of. Strange!

EDIT : Thanks, Nick, I send you a message with the picture i want.
EDIT 2 : Thanks a lot, Nick!

wjc, sorry dude but while its pretty much confirmed that JLB lurks here (HI JAMES TRIAL OF TEARS SHOULD BE ON THE SETLIST FOR THE NEXT TOUR!), I doubt that he'd start answering questions on a world of text site.

If you're talking about his twitter, I think he referred to be lurking the responses the fans do to his tweets, not here.

"Done trying to prove anything."  You haven't TRIED to prove anything.  How can you be done trying to prove something that you never tried to prove in the first place?  All you have done is say, "I live 20 minutes away and Mike Mangini is the drummer."  Um, I'm sorry if I - and, obviously some other people, are skeptical of that!  :lol

Leave the guy alone already!!

Even if he is bullshitting us, look at the last 100 pages.... its all skepticism, and, well fun bullshit..  And if hes being honest, well then yay, point for our side!

Just relax. We are all DT fans. Whats important is that we support the band and that the new album has the quality that we are all hoping for.


And yes, Long time lurker... you made me get off my lazy ass, and register. Thank you.

-Slith

Thank you. You just got me off my lazy ass to register.  ;D

Yes, another long time lurker. I've been lurking here for a couple of years, and over the last 6 months I've been lurking every day. Finally, I've registered.

I must say, this thread has been thoroughly entertaining to read and has provided many lols.

Also, I sort of believe dreamsforever but I still hope it's Minnemann. I'm practically obsessing over his technical ability at the moment.

I'm also having quite a bit of fun on that world of text thingy that someone linked to

I just realized: Is it a good thing or bad thing that they've been in the studio for over a month and we don't have an official DT11 album discussion/speculation thread while this one is huge?

I was actually under the impression we couldn't talk about him, as his origin is 'that place.' Or am I thinking of another forum?

Pedobear transcends the fourth channel.

And from my understanding, we can talk about it but just can't link to it, including saying the name simply without the '.org'.

Maybe its because I'm pretty new hear and don't know too much about the history.  But I honestly find it a little ridiculous that you can't so much as mention that website because of the content on maybe...well maybe half the boards. Despite the fact that most people on the internet in general these days at the very least know of it

I can't really stand that site but overall I agree, especially since mainstream news sources make pretty blatant references to it all the time.

But this thread is about drummers.

Some of the really niche boards can be pretty good resources, but I pretty much agree. And while I may not be fond of the rule, I like the place. So I shall abide.

And you're right. I'd like to think all the drumming on the album will be by more than one person. Like that time Portnoy and Richard Christie shared the kit. I'd like to think the drumming alone will be an impressive sonic experience.

It's been 102 pages and I'm yet to post. Well....

Yep, nothing to add.

Except that I saw the new drummer. He had hair, eyes and pants on (yes suprising I know). I walked over to him in the supermarket and asked him probably the most important question. "Dude, got some spare change?" He declined but gave me a high five instead. Problem is, he accidentally dropped his milk, slipped over and did the splits. Right then I could tell he was dazed a little. I offered him a lending hand but he refused. He said that drummers for progcore bands can handle it.
