Ty Korrigan Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 What does this word mean and where and how can I obtain one to display here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Apparently it's derived from a Sanskrit word, the word "avatar" referred to an incarnation of a Hindu god in the form of a human or animal.You could try looking here for one http://www.planetsmilies.com/avatars/avatars.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Then click on Control Panel, then choose Avatar from the drop-down menu. Easy peasy lemon squeezy - even I managed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 As Jayjay says, an avatar is a facet of Brahman.If you want to put up a non-standard avatar you have to already have it on a website, and then you paste in the web address.

Motorhead Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 No, you can use any JPEG image stored on your computer. The forum software will resize it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naps Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Wow, thanks for the thread, I'd already tried uploading a photo, but I either never saw the 'resize' checkbox, or was trying to load it in the wrong format (Bitmap, not JPEG). But this time it's worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Korrigan Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Is Ray really that old...? He looks like a cadaver! Got no younger snaps? Dick Smith has really gone down the tubes judging by the difference between his old and new image... Only joking boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yes, Naps, I had a lovely picture there earlier (not this one) and it disappeared before you saw it. Oh well...(I wonder how young Ty will look when we finally get his avatar ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, the the answer is - Yes, he really is, Ty! Tell you what though, as the saying goes, it beats the hell out of the alternative. If I go out these days I either need my wheelchair or electric scooter . . . . and, you know what . . . my life is fabulous! I love every moment of it. We have great friends in the US, UK, here in France and Germany. Since I can no longer fly, they come to see us and we love it. We are very lucky people.
