stripe Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Like you get to have a vote, what with your Galois transmutation. Transmutation? At least I haven't gone this route: http://ro.math.wikia.com/wiki/%C3%89variste_Galois I found some b&w line drawings with flowing hair... maybe you could go for those. http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/a_c/austin.htm And if I changed mine to the second image on this page, http://totallyhistory.com/evariste-galois/ we could almost look like the same person! Ha HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 My avatar suddenly didn't work a few weeks ago so I just re-uploaded it. It's a photo taken by me using my phone at the nearby tide pools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha HA! Like you get to have a vote, what with your Galois transmutation. I found a few other pictures of him. He's changed over the years: http://providingcloudyservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/SixMillionDollar.jpg http://www.wallpeapr.com/wallpapers/37281-steve-austin-wallpapers-2.html/steve-austin-wallpapers-7 Sometimes I think you are the same person already.

stripe Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Sometimes I think you are the same person already. Two creepy guy sketches.... :leaving: :lol: I have only been to Texas once, and it was passing through the Dallas airport. It was all a blur as I ran for my flight. And that was like twenty years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Now I'm feeling left out of the club, and wondering if it's time to change my own avatar. Everybody else has new clothes for the start of school. Well, you could become Violent Crown with an appropriate avatar.... After all, you're part of a book gang. ;-) (Had fun revisiting our book gang threads as I was deleting oodles of stuff....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Or, VC, you could change your avatar to some young guy (only around 200 years old or so) like Poe & enter into cougar territory.... <insert laughing here> (Had fun revisiting that thread too, lol, in my wanderings of many old threads over the past few days.) ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Crown Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Transmutation? At least I haven't gone this route: http://ro.math.wikia.com/wiki/Évariste_Galois I found some b&w line drawings with flowing hair... maybe you could go for those. http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/a_c/austin.htm And if I changed mine to the second image on this page, http://totallyhistory.com/evariste-galois/ we could almost look like the same person! Ha HA! Evariste was blond? I'm dubious. I do like that last image of him, though. Sometimes I think you are the same person already. Two creepy guy sketches.... :leaving: But creepy in a statesmanlike way. :lol: I have only been to Texas once, and it was passing through the Dallas airport. It was all a blur as I ran for my flight. And that was like twenty years ago. Blurred is probably the best way to see Dallas. That's how most of the university students see it at the Texas-OU game.... Well, you could become Violent Crown with an appropriate avatar.... After all, you're part of a book gang. ;-) (Had fun revisiting our book gang threads as I was deleting oodles of stuff....) Yes, it certainly slows down the .jpg hunt when one gets sucked into reading old threads, doesn't it? Or, VC, you could change your avatar to some young guy (only around 200 years old or so) like Poe & enter into cougar territory.... <insert laughing here> (Had fun revisiting that thread too, lol, in my wanderings of many old threads over the past few days.) ;-) Chekhov still belongs to me. I like your new avatar. I still think there must be some way to get your sign back, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm so confused. This is what I get for having a busy summer, with not much time to check in here. I come back, one of my social groups is missing, and everyone looks different! :scared: I missed all the drama, I guess. Read the *Must Read* at the top of the list of topics/threads. SWB asked for everything that may be under copyright to be taken down. So off went the avatars and the kilts.... Now the missing social group, locked and blocked threads has to do with not following board rules. Not everyone agrees so people get sad. :( But then the avatar problem comes up and it's something new and everyone is :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't know. I must be dumb as a stone. I cannot choose the graphic I want, no matter what hoops I jump through to re-size. Do you have Paint on your computer? I learned how to resize using it today. If you can't figure it out, send it to me and I'll resize it and send it back to you.

brehon Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ha! Look at me - I managed to give myself an identity. Wait, erm, I mean an avatar. I'm hip! I'm with it! I'm…Mediaeval!! Years ago I became the inaugural chair of [my EMS system's] strategic planning committee and as such had to learn how to send e-mail messages with attachments. I had never had to do that before and my long-suffering partner gave me a tutorial and (I'm kinda embarrassed to say) multiple tutoring sessions on this rather simple task. I'm still the chair of the committee and I've learned many more heretofore mysterious computer skills. But not skillz. No one would mistake my ability for mad computer skillz. P.S. The avatar is from the public domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SproutMamaK Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 For once posting a personal picture of myself for the crazies of the internet to peruse has worked out in my favour! Maybe I should take it to Tinder next.Or I could, you know... not. Think maybe I'll got with that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelwydd Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My ds painted the pic in mine. I have no idea what the big deal is with avatars, but it sounded serious. So here's the new look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I've been aware for some time that I probably shouldn't be using my Calvin and Hobbes avatar - I learned well after I chose it that Watterson was protective of his characters and had authorised very few uses of them. So I'm quite glad to have been pushed to make the change. Seeing my boys wrestling in the sunshine in my new avatar makes me smile.

goldberry Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Mine was in public domain for non-commercial use, so I'm keeping. I am also grieving the loss of everyone's avatars.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I already miss my Far Side old lady avatar. :( I like Snow's idea, I'll add her memory to my signature. Anyone who has had to change should have a tribute to the old avatar in their sigs:-stripe, who used to have the creepy guy photo for my avatar.-judomom, formerly the guinea pig judo master avatar.
