OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars

[geoschmo]

What's sick is as I look at the Emporium, I can rattle off most of the names without mousing over the images. I spend too much time here.

It's funny, I think of you people, and in my mind you look to me like your avatar. It's gonna be wierd if I ever meet you in person.

Slick: Nice to meet you Geo, I'm Slick.

Geoschmo: You're can't be Slick, you don't look anything like Harrison Ford.

Well, if we ever meet, there won't be too much of a surprise. (I'm much bigger than 48x48 pixels in real life though.)

My avatar on the other hand is life sized. Although I don't normally sit that close to the screen.

first if you click on the link in my sig to go to my emporium. If you find one you like, move your mouse over it and make a note of the #. post the number here and I'll be glad to fix things (give instructions & link) so that it's as simple as can be to replace your aged avatar.

If you don't see one you like, I could make a custom one, but at the moment there is no way for me to post new avatars

Cheers!

OK, I think I found the one I want. It's #699. John Wayne, The Duke, the man! Not that I look anything like him, but he's always been my favorite actor.

Ok, here goes..



1) right click on the pic above and select "Copy Shortcut"
2) Go to your profile (the 'my profile' link at the top of the forum page.)
3) Select "view/update profile"
4) click on the "Select a different Avatar image" link beside your current pic.
5) A new window will open, on the bottom of this new window there is a text field called 'Use Custom URL'. Delete the info within this text field and while your cursor is still active within the field. press Ctrl+v to paste the new avatar URL you grabbed.
6) click the "Set URL' button beside the text field with your new link.
7) in the upper left click on the "Select this Avatar" button.
8) close this window if it doesn't close automatically. then scroll down and click on "Update Profile"
9) post a new message in the avatar forum to activate your new avatar.

Cheers!

Ok, I think it took. I'll just post this to see. Thanks, David.

[David E. Gervais]

The pleasure was all mine. Thanks for adopting one of my orphen avatars.

Cheers!

While we are speaking of avatars, and to give you another opportunity to be another step closer to your promotion ( ), do you know who is my avatar? I couldn't quite fathom who, or what, it is. Thanks in advance!
