hehe too quick gumby: see options.

But where's the option for people like me who use a true life photo of themselves as their avatar ? We have no option to choose from. :rolleyes:

(or should that be...no option from which to choose) :D - see I can write proper when I want.

Up with that I will not put. :)

Truth or falsity of avatar is beside the point. Your avatar happens to be a true representation, but is still non-animated (unless you count the mysterious appearances and disappearances of the hat to get washed). :)

I too have a true life photo of myself.

I don't mind the animated avatars. If someone doesn't like them they can turn off the animation in IE if they want.

I wonder if Doug's avatar is a true life photo of him?

I voted distracting, but it doesn't really bother me all that much.

I hate the bloody things. :D

doug the slug for president. I wish I could get one of a ape picking its nose...

Here you go. I borrowed that Senator bloke's finger for it:

how do I use it ?

First, take one senator, insert in nostril, the rest should be obvious.

BUT

They just gotta be different versions of Dougs!! :D :D :D

Right mouse click on the image and select 'Save picture as'. Save it to someplace on you hard disk.

Then go an upload it as a new avatar.

Doug doesnt wibble like that !!! her eis prooof !!!

I find doug's the most distracting :eek:

I think when Doug replies he should at least type someting.





What do you mean he does.

No he doesn't, I look long and hard at all his replies, nothing, nadda, nil.



OHHH, to the right of the avatar, I'll look next time, sorry Doug. :D

I don't really mind them, but practically speaking they are a nuisance. I sometimes review this board on a HP PDA and it makes the screen builds jump around, forcing me to wait for the entire screen to load before commencing reading.

Hey Gumby: I just realised: if yours is a true photo, and not an avatar, how come it doesn't look like what I remember Gumby as?

He's getting older...........

After getting thoroughly annoyed at animated avatars, I came across this tip for switching off the buggers:

It's an option when creating the poll. You can either have the votes made public or not.

Thanks Maj ;)

Click on the image- it is animated, but must be a bit too big for the animation to work directly on the bb.
