Christmas Present for HC!
Merry Christmas to everyone at HC!
Over 400 new avatars have been uploaded for your selection. There are Heroes from HOMM1, Heroes from HOMM4 and Creatures from HOMM4.
This takes our current list of avatars to over 1100!
Thanks to Lich_King for the filename sorting idea, to TDL for doing the hard work renaming the 420 files promptly before Christmas (make a post here to get a QP) and to ThE_HyDrA for reminding me to do this 
Registration and Edit Profile pages now show alphabetically sorted avatar lists, and the avatars show up full-size, making the selection easy. H5 avatars, when available, will also be sorted according to the new naming system. We won't rename the old avatars as that will mess up thousands of profiles.
Avatarlist page is not alphabetical - reprogramming it is rather complex, so for now it will remain a shuffled list, which is an interesting way to browse.

I didn't go through all of them yet, but I have noticed that part of the avatars attributed to HoMM1 actually come from H2. Why is that?

That's because H2 used avatars from H1

Merry Upcoming Christmas to HC!
The subject of and the first post in the thread should explain everything to you
I really wish you all, guys and gals, great Christmas. I am glad that I had the chance to participate in this thing - I am happy that I did this all in one day.
I do not seem to find the new avatars bad nor unfit (I personally like some of Heroes of Might and Magic IV a lot ). I know some of you will not like them, but I am really content that even after what I done (unwillingly), you, Valeriy and moderators still trust me, put your confidence in me
And again, I wish you all great Christmas - I am going on holidays, so I do not think I will be able to salute you again (though things might change )
Best wishes,
TDL
Edit by Valeriy: QP applied for helping to rename the avatar files categorically (see my post above).

Actually, Val, that is not the case. Some of the H2 heroes that appeared in HoMM1 have changed a bit. The ones that remained more or less the same have had their backgrounds changed. In HoMM1, the backgrounds were nondescript gradients and patterns. HoMM2, on the other hand, offered much more interesting backgrounds, like bookshelves for some of the warlocks and stuff like that.

The case is that I personally extracted those avatars out of HOMM1 with a contributor's help. You can see the larger versions on Age of Heroes. We haven't done HOMM2 heroes yet, HCM me if you want to help.

nice work
i was searching through the avatar gallery and found that everything was in some wierd order. it was by no means alphabetised and the only pattern the pics seemed to follow was one of a random nature. i dont recall the gallery being like that before
connected or just a coincidence?

The AvatarList got randomised on this new server, before it was ordered by the date of addition. Unfortunately it would take a bit of work to change it, and since I've made lists in the profile alphabetical, I might as well leave this one random just to keep things interesting. Whatever you find in the random list you can always easily find by alphabet in modify profile page.

Hey Val, I have an idea..
Why don't you organize the avatars into categories?
H1 Avatars
H2 Avatars
H3 Hero Avatars
H3 Creature Avatars
H4 Avatars
Other Avatars (The toh ones)
Custom Reserved Avatars (Eg. Mine, RSF's)

This is a good news!!
A lot of avatar means there's the pleasure to choose...
its good advise to make some categories in avatar in order to make easier the choice. I think it's not banal or fast to make it.
