Icons...

[rian_aphasia]

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.

I'm interested in the answer to this, too.

I don't think you can do anything about it without moving to a paid account, for a month, then gaming the system to make sure that the right icons get picked.

That gaming could be difficult, because the method for selecting inactive icons seems to be glitchy right now. I asked about it at dw_news, and you can see what happened. This behavior will probably change, though, because of teh bugz.

Yeah, definitely. The icons chosen for me were my default plus the five I had most recently uploaded, half of which I'd, at that time, yet to use even once on any journal. ::shrug::

Thanks for the info!
