Who do you think has the best avatar?
Naming yourself is optional (not really encouraged) - but give a list who else has a notable icon of their own.

Hi JIM!
I'm writing because there's a bug affecting avatars that's just affected you. I've already restored your avatar, so you don't need to do anything, but what I want to do is figure out why this is happening. In other words, I'd like to fix the bug. After you started this thread, do you remember if you did anything after that? Edit a message? Change your profile? Anything? Thanks in advance for your help!

Ah, sorry about that Percipient, I suppose I didn't want to search if anyone had made a thread similar to this one. I guess I was too oblivious and lazy to think of anyone actually coming to the same thread idea. How silly of me. Sorry about that. What do you suggest I do? Delete this thread or re-create it? Or any other suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.

Hello.
Well, actually I do remember editing my profile for a minor alteration in my signature quote. I know for a fact that I did not edit a post because as soon as I finished updating my profile I scanned and navigated through the forum to see if anything I need to respond, but didn't. So I logged off. That is really all I can recollect from my consciousness.
Hope this at least helps,
Later: JIM.

This happened to me earlier. I had to re-upload the avatar from my hard drive, because changing my profile ate it.

I think a new thread on the topic is fine, I only mentioned the other thread in case you wanted to see earlier comments. In the Creation/Evolution threads we *do* try to keep discussion on the same topic confined to a single thread at a time, but this is the Coffee House forum where the focus is more often just interesting conversation.
Thanks for the avatar feedback - maybe this bug will finally bite the dust!

Moratorium on Member Photos
JIM,
Thanks for changing the avatar. No offense, but I'd much rather look at Dilbert's garbageman. Unless stylized (a la Dan Carroll), I think it's lame to have your own puss accompany your posts. Witness messenjaH's avatar, which makes Wounded King's look appetizing.
And do the 93KB's of Ned's fetching self-portrait (in which he's evidently surrendering to the RCMP) jam up anyone else's puny home computer? I had my balls shrunk to a more manageable 14KB with no loss of their austere beauty.

Re: Moratorium on Member Photos
In general I agree on the photos thing. But I happen to like Ned's avatar. It seems to say, "Come and get it, ladies! Ned is open for business!"

I know I never mentioned it before, and I haven't heard anyone else say it, but personally I have always liked your balls mrH.
Dan's avatar is nice too, but it looks like me (no joke, just take out the cigarette), and so sometimes unnerving. Like I got a cartoon mirror on my computer.

What a handsome devil you must be.
Only problem is it doesn't look all that much like me anymore, since my hair grew.

Re: Moratorium on Member Photos
Ok, sorry I'll shrink it.
Meanwhile thanks Dan. I am single and can use all the advertising I can get. If you know any eligible women invite them to the forum.
added by edit
geez, i just checked and that is the "shrunk" version. I'll squeeze it somemore then.
added more
I updated it. If it is still a problem let me know

Nothing beats my balls
holmes,
You say the nicest things. And I like to hear them, (sigh) it's just how I am.
I miss Quetzal's avatar, but since he's embroiled in all that international intrigue in the former-former-Soviet-Union, I guess we're lucky to have him posting at all.
I think Dan's avatar is original and fits his don't-fuck-with-me personality. Oh, that's a cigarette, now I see it.

I'm still debating what's in the cigarette, though. First time I focused on Dan's avatar his posts starting making more sense. Don't toke . . . errrr . . . take that the wrong way.
