Get Your Avatars and Feel Alive!

[techElder]

With the new forum's avatar (thumbnail) function we can all be freed of our constraints! Here's a few samples, but get one that makes you feel like the wind is blowing through your hair ... even if the only way that can happen is if you raise your hands as high as they'll go and run around your office.

Perhaps something here inspires you to create something PICAXE BASIC!

Sorry, being the old grump I feel the coloured Avatars make everything look rather "Fisher Price". I keep looking to see if there is a rather more "sober" theme that presents the forum with less colour, and no (or much smaller) avatars.

Hi Tex,

Its good to see that you are very active.
Regards, bear..

... coloured Avatars make everything look rather "Fisher Price" ...

It appears avatars are considered integral to the forum software so there is not a lot we can do about removing them or making them optional other than to suggest providing means to do that to the forum software developers.

It should still be possible to remove or shrink Avatars browser side with some Add On or scripting engine like GreaseMonkey. I haven't looked into doing that here but have done similar for other sites.

SAD!, isn't it?

At some point in the future I'll add an avatar but I'm a bit selective. It's just not a priority for me.

Good on you Tex for promoting avatar use. But please don't hold your breath until I choose one - it might not be good for your health.

@ lbenson,
Your picture made me smile, apart from the laptop, I thought you had been and photographed my workbench.

I like the updated forum, like Win10 it grows on me. (Not literally).

Regards, bear..

I confess that the impetus is to attract the younger set ... not repell them.

 

[lbenson]

Ok, Tex--is this better?


(I'm not erco, so don't have anything as neat as the trash can crawler.)

 

[techElder]

Yes, sir! Even though we're "Senior" members, we've still got the stuff it takes to show off what we do!

Just slightly translated "Cogito coffee, Ergo Sum coffee"

If you really don't want to play you can just upload a blank square and you will be incognito.
