What happens to >15 icons after paid account expiration?

[blnchflr]

Does anyone know what happens to my icons after my account reverts to free - which 15 icons are left (15 newest, oldest, random?), and will I need to reupload the >15 if I purchase paid time in the future, or will they magically reappear :o) ?

Thanks in advance!

If it's consistent with how it worked on LJ, it would be 15 most-used-on-entries-in-your-journal (which is in some cases effectively random), and need to reupload.

Not sure for sure on DW, though!

They reappear :)

I also had a paid account that reverted back to free. From what I remember, all my icons remained on the icon page, but only 15 of the original 100 I had were still usable. The rest were kind of faded out to show I couldn't use they anymore.

I think the 15 chosen are chosen at random. But the nice thing is that if you want to keep any of the ones you didn't get to choose, you can just save them and then remove them from the list if you like.

The only problem that I encountered is that, if I wanted to choose the 15 I kept, I would have to delete all the icons that were grayed out, as well as any of the 15 chosen that I didn't like, in order to be able to reupload more. If you want to use one of the grayed-out icons in your new 15, you'll have to delete all of the icons on your icon page first to ensure you get that specific one. (If that makes sense--it's what I recall having to do when I had an account with 100 icons!)

Good luck!!!
