User blog comment:Susanolivia/Fixed Width, Sidebar, and the Removal of Monaco/@comment-824313-20101004115017

@TurtleShroom--

Since your talk page redirects to the AWA, I guess I'll post my reply here.

What I mean by Black Wednesday is November 3, the day Monaco is no longer an option. It was advised by someone (I think it was either Frank-West or M.mendel) to use a black avatar just for that day, like dressing in black to go to a funeral. This would represent our loss of content space. The avatar I plan to use looks very much like the one I currently have, except it's wearing black, with a few other changes.

I have no idea how to fix the avatar system, on the other hand. Hopefully it will be up and running by next month. You should ask a staffmember when they think it'll be fixed.

I hope that answers your question.
