I know :)  I was just expressing my opinion.  I don't like the banners and crap myself...but an avatar pic...I miss that.

In the early "life raft" days of the forum there was an option for an avatar.  I clicked one of the preloaded avatars. Due to the repeated hacking of the previous version of this site, the avatar option has been removed. I cannot turn off the avatar that i do have.

Just a question....I understand that we cannot input pictures, I see that some have avatars and I read that feature is turned off....so some can have avatars and others cannot?

For those missing being able to see the pictures of people to put faces with them, I use a long workaround.

Click on the person's name or their profile icon (little person with notecard)
At the bottom of their profile is a link to "Show the last posts of this person."
Click that link to display a list of their posts.
Scroll through their list to see if they've create an Intro thread, go to that to see if they added a picture.

Is it an ugly workaround? Yep
Do I expect that our Admins will eventually get a more elegant solution? Yep

Have no fear Sir Edward de Johns, thought it may seem unfair that some can and others can't have them right now. I have no doubt our admins will work out a solution for all soon enough.

Some people got avs put in before they were turned off. And since they were turned off, they cannot get in and remove them. So its not like there are a select group that can use them, just people who got to it before it was changed.

Well, DB is being tricky and changed his, but he's one of the main guys here so I feel he has the right.

Update DB has reopened the avatars option. please see Avatar guidelines Before you post.

You probably have the wrong code. The forum use s Forum code with Bracket [ ] but the avatar uses links. you need a URL like this http://www.mypage.com/mypic.gif   If you're using photobucket you need to edit thier code

they give this, you only need the highlighted part

Help!  I'm a wee bit blurry and the real photo that Kirk took isn't blurry in the least.  Again, I'm a newbie at messing with photos, and confess complete and utter ignorance, although I imagine it's a resolution problem(?).  Can someone suggest the fix for it (I'm at photobucket).  Thanks!

I am such a computer dummy, but after about a half hour, I got it to work!

I tried to resize it in Photobucket, but that was beyond me.  So I guess I'll just look blurry.

But I did it!  Huzzah!
