New AVrAmTAR URLs

Ok, I’ve spent couple of hours working on this, so I hope that it works :)

All users’ avatar URLs have been changed to http://avatars.avramtar.com/avatar-MD5_HASH_OF_EMAIL.gif, as you can see at your user page. Besides that, every user has an option to make custom avatar URL, something like http://avatars.avramtar.com/CUSTOM_IDENTIFIER.gif. Please note that once set, this custom URL can NOT be changed! Why? Well, because constant changing of avatar URL might broke your avatar on some websites which you do not visit so often (so you’ll forget to update them). So please double-check your identifier before you submit it. Also note that in custom identifier you can only use English alphabet letters (a-z) and digits (0-9). You can use uppercase letters but they will be converted to lowercase. Also, identifiers in URLs are not case-sensitive, so http://avatars.avramtar.com/user.gif is same as http://avatars.avramtar.com/User.gif and/or http://avatars.avramtar.com/uSEr.gif

Old user–USER-AT-DOMAIN-DOT-TLD.gif URLs will continue working for a while, but please change them to new URLs wherever you have used them as soon as possible.
