Icons...

So when I first created my Dreamwidth account, I uploaded 6 icons, which I was planning to use here. Then, when I imported my lj to my Dreamwidth account, it brought my other 9 icons over too. I knew that 9 of my icons were going to be put down as Inactive, but had no clue which ones; I assumed it would be the ones that were imported.

Turns out, only one of my icons, my default, is one I'd put up here to use on a regular basis; the other 5 are very old. Is there a way to change my Inactive ones? I know the ability to do it multiple times would just give us a regular way to cheat the 6 icon rule, I'm not saying I want that. What I mean is a one-time thing to "fix" which icons we now have access to without deleting them completely. Because I'd prefer my old icons to actually show up on my old (ancient) posts and not change over to my default.

Well, I succeeded the long way around: I right-clicked (yes, that works on a Mac) an LJ userpic to a new tab, copied the url and uploaded the picture via the url field.

That's a kludge, but I have 200 userpic slots, not that I'm going to fill them all, and don't want to limit myself to only LJ userpics. At some point, LJ and DW must diverge or else I'll only use LJ. DW has to work before I take it seriously.

DW *is* in beta. Give 'em time.
