Sports Answerbank?

Is it a different company and run by different people, especially different techies.

All seems to be working really well over there, including the avatars.

Just had a look, Lottie. Regarding the avatars they seem to me like they're the same icons that accompany the topics in the left sidebar. Perhaps you get to choose your favourite sport when you create your profile, and you're then assigned that sport's icon for your avatar? Looks neat and everything but I'd really want to choose my own avatar regardless of what my favourite topic might be on the regular AnswerBank so I for one am hoping they don't decide to do something similar here.

I'm guessing it's run by different people, yeah... I don't think they want us to know, people have asked about it before. But then, it's been a long time since we had somebody communicate with us as much as our present Spare Ed does, so this might be the right time to pry :)

I have my avatar lined up Swedie. Winnie the Poo has a new mate called Lottie!!

[swedeheart]

...and she's so cute!

[LoftyLottie]

Oh well, perhaps it's not right for me then!! Cute I am not ;o)

[swedeheart]

But then again, our Dot isn't Garth Brooks, either ;-)

Thanks sirprize. I knew AB used to part of Crystal Maze but thought it had now changed. Still at Kettering though.

Perhaps Sports Answerbank is still part of Crystal Guides.

Are you there Mr Spare Ed?

[LoftyLottie]

Ha ha, Crystal Maze!!!! I've gone back a few years.

Crystal Meth?

[LoftyLottie]

Yep, I'm under the influence obviously. Have done nothing but post the wrong words on here today.

AB has always used the Sports Category as it's " testbed" for any new fuctions/services.It did so before when AB was changed(About 2 years ago) but had to go back to the old AB when it didn't work.
Hopefully all of AB will work as efficiently as Sports seems to,but I shan't hold my breath.
