You and your (150x150 pixels or less) avatar (Part 2)

Yeah he looks like an actor, or an art critic perhaps. Maybe an English teacher. An assasin for the secret service? Or he could have been a waiter at a fancy French restaurant. Distinguished, sensitive looking chap in any case. Could be you in twenty years hobbes.

Is he any relation to the Halliwell of Halliwell’s Film Guide? I love those Halliwells.

Interesting. Thanks for the tip. I hadn’t heard of Halliwell’s Film Guide until you mentioned it. It sounds like it is one of the most respected film sources out there (apparently started by “Leslie Halliwell”). Unfortunately I am a bit cheap/lazy and generally use the online film guides – and it appears that Halliwell’s is only available in print?

Is it just me or are my current avatar and my old ashlee simpson one at the same tempo?


Other ones from the past to reflect my past titles:

- for “Lost Winning Lottery Ticket” title

- for “KTV is my life”

Dumped the one of me saluting in front of the Martyr’s Shrine for “Martyr Shrine Guard” from my image account because it took up so much freaking memory, but I still have it on my laptop.

<–To me, this guy looks like an older Regis Philbin.

No? Good ole Reg!

<–914 looks exactly like his avatar. I’m so lucky to be co-moderating with him! :lovestruck:

Finally, ImaniOU, I don’t care what you say, this is my all-time favorite Forumosa avatar.
My cat agrees. Bring back the dancing ImaniOU!! :pray:

Oh my God. Did you store that monster on some image host? I took it down because I got so many complaints about how big the file was. Personally, I liked dancing at CKS eternally.

very alluring. Much better than the previous one with the hat.

Is this actually Sandman?

For that matter, is this actually ImaniOU?

I decided to go ahead and use a picture of myself.

It is actually Bruce Willis. Look closely.

Comrade Stalin, your flashing avatar just gave me an epileptic fit. See you in court :stuck_out_tongue:

Better Bruce Willis than Robert Duvall, at least.

Who used Richard Feynman as an avatar for like 15 minutes? Surely you’re joking Mr. Hobbes.

Hehe :laughing:

Gotta love Feynman. :thumbsup:

(Nice catch btw, Richardm. It was a glowfoto image, too, so I know you must have actually recognized him rather than right-clicking on the image to look. :wink: )

I have no avatar and am seemingly too stupid to make this function work for me. Tried a couple of times… and threw in the towel with a sigh. God it’s terrible to be so stupid. :unamused:

Or, perhaps it’s because I’m not yet allowed to have one? Not yet worthy of the honor?

Please help! What do I do?

(1) Go to “Profile” at the top of the page.

(2) Go to the bottom of the profile page.

(3) Paste in a url address for an 150x150 or smaller image that you want to use.

If you’re stuck, here are a couple “stans” you might consider:

South Park Stan

latomiseur.free.fr/personnages/stan.gif

Stan Lee the Comic Book Legend

Easygoing Singer and Yachtsman Stan Kenton

emiclassics.de/images/cover/ … 659121.jpg

Scary Neon Stan Collymore

bbc.co.uk/coventry/culture/p … re-150.jpg

Use this one.

[quote=“Richardm”]Use this one.
[/quote]

Oh good call, Richardm. :bravo:

(stan: If you like Richard’s suggestion, (1) right-click on the image, (2) go down to “Properties”, and then (3) copy the address and paste it in as I described above)

Cheers Hobbes and Richardm! It appears that, with a little help, I’m not totally incompetent after all. Much appreciated. Stan from South Park it is?

Oh, my! How do I know no one else has the same avatar? I just said I’m not totally incompetent… time to swallow those words?

The thing is that if you are copying and pasting from someone else’s website, you are using their bandwidth everytime someone accesses a page with your avatar on it. This is called bandwidth piracy (or something along those lines) and they could easily pull your file or replace it with a porn image to pay you back for stealing their bandwidth. There are lots of free image hosts, however, where you could upload your chosen image and they provide you with so much bandwidth usage and file space. I use walagata, but I don’t think they’re giving away free accounts anymore. You could just google in the words “free image host”, though and get some. Cheers.
