We've enabled Avatars to add some personalization to the site. Avatars are small pictures (of your choosing, within site guidelines) that will appear next to your name on every post you make.
You may have noticed already noticed some of these pictures next to the names of some posters (for example, a martini glass next to my name in this post). If you are not seeing the martini glass next to my name, you don't have View Avatars enabled in your profile. Directions for turning this feature on or off as well as uploading your own Avatar are below.
Guidelines for Avatars
Please keep them decent and respectable. Anything deemed offensive by the Mods will be taken down and you'll be asked to find an alternative. A good general rule for these Avatars... make that life in general... is to assume your mother is watching. If you are ok with that Avatar then likely we all will be too!
To turn on or off viewing of Avatars
Click Edit Profile at the top of the home page. Then in the left nav bar, click Edit Options. Then on the page that comes up, you'll see a checkbox for View Avatars. If this is unchecked, you won't see Avatars next to posters names. If it is checked, you will see them.
To add your own Avatar
Click Edit Profile at the top of the home page. Then in the left nav bar, click Edit Avatar. Then upload an image of your choice. It can be any size but the system will reduce it to max of 70 x 70 pixels.
As long as we are keeping them safe for work, I like avatars.
