Sorry I haven't been on recently. I've been getting that antiquated, underpowered, paperweight up and running that I mentioned to you before. Fortunatly, the light is at the end of the tunnel and it'll be out the door tomarrow morn. I'll try to address the avatar issue for everyone Wednesday night with a brief how to on the workings of it. It's not really difficult it's just a matter of image hosting the avatar itself.

Okay, I finally got a breath today. For a few minutes anyway. First and foremost for you to have your own custom avatar image under your name you need an image to use on your computer. This can be done by looking at various places like... Free Avatars 01 Free Avatars 02 Free Avatars 03You may also use your own images that you may have from photographs, computer images, etc. If you that that route, however, make certain it is 100 x 100 pixels in width and height. After you choose an image to use then you must make certain you download it to your computer and know the location it is stored. This can be done by: 1. Right click your mouse over the intended image. 2. Click ' Save Image As' 3. Make certain the image type is a gif or jpg or jpeg. 4. Then save it in My Documents/My Pictures to find it easier. Next you need an image host. That is basically a location that the file will reside on-line. If you have your own web space available often with your internet provider account it would be a good choice. However, if you do not have that as an option, you can use a free image hosting service like Image Shack (click me)"]http://www.imageshack.us/]Image Shack (click me) instead. To use their service you will need to follow their requirements and directions in order to upload the image properly. In order to display this image you will need the URL for the image. Image Shack (click me)"]http://www.imageshack.us/]Image Shack (click me) will give you several options to display the image after you have uploaded it to their site. What you will be looking for is the Direct Link to Image option at the bottom of their page. Highlight the text in the box you will see for the location and right click your mouse and choose copy. Now in the Forum area here at WC-Unleashed you will click the Profile button located at the top of the page. Once you are in your Profile you will need to click on Modify Profile. Now scroll down until you see the area titled Avatar URL and in the box provided Paste the location for your image using CTRL-V or right click over the box and hit Paste. After that is done then scroll down and hit Modify Profile. If you are still having troubles getting the image to display correctly either give the link to the image in here or email it to myself and I'll fix it as soon as possible. There is a possibility that I will find some avatars for the forum and upload them myself to a more permanent location so it will shorten the required steps to get a different avatar than the few ones provided here. Again, it's not set in stone at the moment because it depends entirely on what time I have available. ;D

I had some initial problems getting the image as you directed per your private message. I can only figure that may have had something to do with the problems you had gettin it to show up. I tried to use the link provided where you directed and it didn't show up here either. I just downloaded the image and placed it with another image host that I'm familer with and it seems to have fixed the problem.

I've got a stupid issue. How do we email the webmaster of the forum? No issue is too stupid. If you like you can post it public or you can simply PM me like the rest of the members. There are no restrictions to prevent you from PMing me. ;D

Testing out avatar.... Find you a pick that you like on the net, go to photobucket.com and put it there, get the url address, go into your profile on WC-Unleashed, modify, and put it in the place where it says avatar url. Hope it worked

Everyone knows that I am quite the slow one with the technical stuff.
I picked the gatorhead avator, given that my favorite past time with friends is gator hunting each Fall. I have tried several times to change it, I do hit modify but I still have the gator head.
Maybe it was meant to be.
(Yes, I decided to desert Bach and go with Mozart this time around.)

Thanks.

I miss my little candlestick, but don't have the patience to try to find one. I'm already used to everyone's new avatar so i guess I can get used to mine!
