OT: I need an Avatar
 

Well despite my prior pissing and moaning; especially at a certain person here, I think I am here to stay. Well at least till Shrapnel shuts the door or old age takes me out. Anyway I need an avatar and thought I would ask for suggestions, especially since the community seems to have taken on new members with skills along those lines. I have no idea what I want but I would like something new and fresh; suggestions anyone?

I've bumped the avatar thread for you.

The post that the search function led me to was quite incredible; it was about an avatar for you, on page 50-something!

I tried searching by David’s comments and by “House”, “1000”, “Avatar”, and all three in one line with a wild card or two for good measure. I also had a 50 per page result restriction set and gave up after a good spell. Thanks for the help in finding the thread, now what to use? What kind of person do I come across as? Consider this a license to be honest and insulting if that’s how I’m perceived.

You need to add + to all of the words (including first) to do "and" style searches; default is "or" (which is of course useless).

Cool I did not know that, thanks. Does the wild card (*) work?

Looks like your old Avatar PES. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

A search for "adaman*" turns up 0 results, so it looks like no.

I’m the last person to say I have a vast well of knowledge on computers (ha-ha-ha) but I was under the impression that the wild card was sort of; universal? Can I say I three times in the same sentence? I just did it twice there. And none there…

It is, or was, my old avatar. SJ found it for me but feel free to answer the question. A lot of tension is off my shoulders since I graduated. Never new how short tempered I had really become. Anyway I am a much cooler customer now.

Re: OT: I need an Avatar
 

I have never seen a web based search that uses wild cards.

Really, like google or yahoo is where I use it and that seems fine.
