MeaganS Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 and I see many others have too. I hope that I can remember who is who now that I don't have pictures to go off of. But I can't say I mind seeing everyone's new pictures either. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Posting here to show off my new avatar. I took the photo of the whacked out tomato that came from my garden earlier this year. :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Very sad to have to change mine. It is saying all my photos are too large of a file and I don't have time to mess with it again. I will redo it later. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I just googled "avatar converter" and found many easy ones to change my photo, in case anyone else wonders how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just in case people are wondering and don't know, many avatars are changing for reasons mentioned in SWB's pinned post at the top of the board ("Absolutely essential, all users please read!"). I said goodbye for now to my former nesting doll avatar because I'd snipped it from a piece of fabric I'd loved on etsy long ago. The new one is of a small wooden doll I grabbed from my (albeit) small collection of nesting dolls and took outside for a photo shoot today near my front garden. Best I can do.

I talk to the trees Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well, dang! My user name won't make any sense without my avatar! Perhaps it's time for a change... ...and...Ta-dah! What do you think of my new look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Mine still has a Mike's in it. ;) I don't know why it is sideways though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I went with our cat. She is often next to me while I'm posting, and at least I know I took the picture. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Mine still has a Mike's in it. ;) I don't know why it is sideways though. Maybe your avatar had too many Mikes and it's just a bit tipsy. Maybe if I have a Mikes it will look right-side up again. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandylubug Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I changed mine to a pic of my DDs painting from 2 years ago. If you can't tell, she painted a crab and a ladybug. I suppose this is an inland crab and not a beach crab ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm really glad I don't have to change mine, 'cause I'm not sure I'd know how. I took my avatar photo my own self in a bookcase in my living room... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I now have a real, live chiguire. I found it at a website of free use animal photos and cropped it to fit. Change is good!

Ali in OR Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Well, a little google search told me that Beatrix Potter went public domain this year! She died in 1943, and it's 70 years past year of death. Keeping the bunnies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I changed mine to our second home. That is, the country of our second home. We don't stay here all the time but we have and it's my own photo. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Yell Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I changed mine. I will change it again soon- 1/2 hour scrolling through Picasa and there are very very few photso of me. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I switched to a CC image of the ship which was used as a stand in for the Indefatigable in the Hornblower series.I miss my young captain. It was a still from one of my favourite scenes in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Mine was Dumbledore! I'm so sad to get rid of that one. I'll come up with something eventually because I can't stand not being able to ID my own posts down a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I replaced a photo of the Snake River with a photo I took in Yellowstone. Dawn, try picture resizing here; you can set the max image size. Choose a small pixel size as well, such as 120 pixels across. If you keep a large-sized image and make the file size small, it will look pixelated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I was really attached to my avatar and now I'm sad. I'll have to go look through some shots on our older computer and try to find something not too dumb. I might have to resort to something like my dog dressed up in a princess dress with sun glasses.
