Avatars

[Bogframe]

I see that a few of us have avatars (little pictures) under our names. How can I get in on this?

[Ron Eggers]

Boggy,

Check your profile. Framer says it's still experimental but you can play with it. I expect if it becomes widely used, it will slow down page load times for many of us, but you also have the option of hiding avatars that others are using, so you won't be affected.

Framer is always looking for new ways to amuse and dazzle us.

I currently only have them turn on for Moderators.

Finally, a legitimate moderator perk to go along with the title!

Or are the moderators really the avatar guinea pigs? You know - to see if they cause brain damage to the user?

Either way, it's a fun toy. Thanks, Framer.

[Bogframe]

Ah well, I was hoping to get one, but I'll wait until the grumbling public is allowed :(

[John Ranes II, CPF, GCF]

Actually Ron, your first perk in being a moderator was the that you get to use this as an excuse for the time spent on the computer....

"But Honey, I've got to go back online now, to make sure that the Grumble is OK.....I'm a Moderator, you know!"P.S. Wasn't this image of you, a picture drawn by a local artist back in 1978?

I thought about hiring a Turkish-speaking person to write things no one would uderstand, but couldnt figure out how to write it off as a tax expense.

What a cool site! Last month we needed some Biblical words translated for a Youth play at church. I have a friend on another list who is Swedish, so I had her do one and a nephew that speaks Bulgarian (he is a Morman missionary) so he did another. Never even THOUGHT that there might be such a site! PS: it is really hard to type Pig Latin. I would like extra credit....

How could you do such a thing?? I was so impressed with your diverse knowledge.

I can't IMAGINE (http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en) anyone using such MISLEADING (http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en) tactics to make us believe that they were FLUENT (http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en) in another language!

Well, all I can say to you is vous pouvez duper une partie du peuple toujours, tout le peuple parfois, mais pas tout le peuple toujours! ;)

I am in a flood of disappointment! <U>You're</U> disappointed?! I just found out my short-lived signature actually said, "One crouton is worth a discotheque for millipedes."

[Katie]

Ellen,
Extra credit has been applied, now if only you had written in Latin de Porc! oohLaLa!

Framerguy,
Kind, naive man! I have an internet connection, and I'm not afraid to use it!

Ron,
Un croûton vaut la peine un discotheque pour des mille-pattes! Comeon. Try it, you'll like it!

Shhhhh. (I guess you didn't click on "imagine", misleading", and "fluent"in my post did you?)

Heh, heh. :D

Framerguy, still tryin' to trick the ladies, eh?

[Bogframe]

Just testing my new signature...btw, we have search, what about spell check?

[Katie]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did. <font size=-3>*ahem*</font>
I know you have an internet connection, too!
I assumed that you weren't afraid to use yours, either! tongue.gif

[UzZx32QU]

I've turned on the Avatars for members. We will see how it goes and looks?

framer

[FrameMakers]

Cool

Lets see if this works.

[Emibub]

Had to see if mine worked too!
Now I'm checking to see if I can change it.

Let's have a look.

How do I make my own custom avatar like Seth or Ron?

Hey Miterman, what did ya do with him??? Now nobody knows what I'm talking about.... well, that's nothing new!

[MerpsMom]

Fantasy time? Maybe a fried egg would be better?

[John Ranes II, CPF, GCF]

OK, OK......now that we got 'em, what are the Avatar Rules? Like what if you grab one of the preset designs....can someone else grab the same one? Can you change? :confused: smile.gif :confused:

I'm assuming that we can't drop our own into the mix for fear of image files being too large.......loading for 10 mintues on a dialup, etc. :(

I looked for the little Ron 1978 Avatar but couldn't find it anywhere! Shucks....I wanted to steal this one for sure....Doesn't this discussion sort of belong on warped?

Miterman, it appears that you simply have an extra space in your [img] link on your address. Try editing it and refreshing, and that wierd photo of the chick with the "eyes" will appear on your signature block! Not an Avatar, but in your messages, none-the-less.

[D_Derbonne]

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...
Somehow this thread seems like it should be on warped.
Maybe not if rules have been mentioned.

[osgood]

This is the one that most looks like my mirror!

[MiterMan]

Cool! It's working.

Ok, I know it's gonna cause some to get their boxers in a bundle. Just let me leave it up for a day or two.

[po' framer]

I'm using the same one, too, John, just cause that morning espresso gets me going just right! :D

[wpfay]

Check...check..is this thing on?

[MerpsMom]

What does a personal selection say of oneself? What if you keep changing? Are there more from which to choose? Should I stop now?

[lise]

Mona Lisa would have been too expected.

[Jana]

I got one. I love it!

[PurplePerson]

I got an avatar, too!!!

[Ted]

Very...very cool!

[MerpsMom]

Then I'm going to go for the Viking Queen.

[CharlesL]

Testing my new signature. Still looking for appropriate pic.

And my avatar...

[Curly Grumble]

I don't know how everyone else is picking but I choose the one that looks the most like me. (Definately not by brains) <marquee>Special request to Framer</Marquee> Could I have a Curly Avatar? I promise I won't tell anyone.

[AnneL]

Hey, TedMC, you took the same one as me! Although we don't use film much any more, so it really wasn't all that appropriate. Maybe I'll look some more, I really haven't found one I like alot yet.

[CharlesL]

More testing.....(seeking the Light)

Even more testing

And, still more...

Finally!! "Sho' 'nuff groovin' now, y'all"

[Emibub]

Charles, Is that Dark Side of the Moon? Now I want my own customized photo too! Hmmmm.....wonder what I would use.............

Kathy,
Exactly! I searched for DSTM, got the url for the photo and cut/pasted it to my signature.

[Emibub]

Charles, Yeah it just looks that easy. :confused: I have had a tutorial from the missing Ron (where is he?), I just can't get those photos to post. :rolleyes: I guess I'll make it my new mission in life. Anyway DSTM is the coolest. :cool: Haven't listened to it in about ten years.

Kathy, the Doobie Bros once sang, "Tell Me What You Want, and I'll Give You What You Need"

Tell me what image you'd like, and I'll email the url to you, provided I can find it. After that, just type the image thingies into your signature, and, after the [img], paste the url. Then do the [/ to finish. It's so simple, even I can do it!!

[Emibub]

Charles, I'll take you up on that when I figure out what it is I want. It has to define me after all. It can't be just any little thing....... :rolleyes:

[Framar]

Hey Charles, I am looking for an Egyptian cat picture for my signature. Can you help ME???

Actually, I have LOTS of these pictures, now what do I do? :confused:

[CharlesL]

'Mar,
If you have the website 'url', email me, and I'll let you know how to do the thang!

If you don't have the sites, email me also, and I'll still try and get it goin' for ya!

PS: do you mean like this?
