Author Topic: Avatar Images! Matt Advanced Member Member # 853 posted                       Just testing mine! Posts: 23 | From: Wisconsin | Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Heh Gary I've noticed that your avatar image disappears sometime and I don't know why. Somebody more experienced than myself will have to figure it out. IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Yeah, I done it. Thought the bible went well with Wycliffes mission. IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       Hey Art, Are you responsible for the open Bible in my signature now? It's really neat! This is very much the image I wish to project. I think I may forget about my plans for a new avatar that I was talking about a few posts ago. I like this!

IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       Ahhh! Good show, old chap! I've already changed my avatar on my other board to this one, too. One question: Do you think this will affect how people look at me? Gary -------------------- "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Can you make THAT my avatar instead of the other one? I'd appreciate it. (Give him a shave and he looks even more like me than the other one!)

Romans 6:23 NASB Posts: 436 | From: Mankato, Minnesota | Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Heh Gary I added a little something to your signature, if you do not like it, take it away. I just found your Wycliffe avatar image on the internet using google search. IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       Hmmmmm..... Sunday evening, no avatar yet. Well, I guess I'll go back to my old one for now. I have a new one in the works, and hopefully in a few days I'll be able to use that one. Art, I hope you'll like it as well as you liked my late, great picture of John Wycliffe.

I'm tired, so I'm going to retire for the evening, and I'll check back on this situation sometime tomorrow, maybe tomorrow evening. Have a good Lord's day.

Hmmm...must be vandals around here! Gary -------------------- "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 NASB Posts: 436 | From: Mankato, Minnesota | Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Yes Gary I too was wondering what happened to your avatar. I really liked it. IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       uh-oh! My avatar seems to have disappeared. Any idea what happened to it? Kindgo, did you misplace it? I see it's still on my other board, so it hasn't disappeared from the internet.

Posts: 2792 | From: Stockton,Ca | Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       Oh yeah! Thanks, Kindgo! That was quick! Glad you like it, Art. Take off the cap and give him a shave, put on some glasses, and it looks sort of like me. I've been using the picture of John Wycliffe for some time now. It's my way of honoring him and those like him, who stood up for their belief that the common people should have the scriptures in their own language. I believe we owe a great debt of gratitude to Wycliffe, Tyndale, and others, without whom we everyday people would be unable to read the Bible, and possibly would never come to know the Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ, Gary -------------------- "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 NASB Posts: 436 | From: Mankato, Minnesota | Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Heh John ,er I mean Gary I see you have your new avatar image, good going, I like it. John Wycliffe lived almost 200 years before the Reformation, but his beliefs and teachings closely match those of Luther, Calvin and other Reformers. As a man ahead of his time, historians have called Wycliffe the "Morning star of the Reformation." Born in the 1300s, Wycliffe criticized abuses and false teachings in the Church. In 1382 he translated an English Bible--the first European translation done in over 1,000 years. The Lollards, itinerant preachers he sent throughout England, inspired a spiritual revolution. But the Lollardy movement was short-lived. The Church expelled Wycliffe from his teaching position at Oxford, and 44 years after he died, the Pope ordered his bones exhumed and burned. Intense persecution stamped out his followers and teachings. It would be hundreds of years before men like Martin Luther resurrected the reforms of which Wycliffe dreamed.

Posts: 4320 | From: Sunny Florida | Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       Well, thanks so much for the help, Kindgo and Art, however, following the procedures carefully, I see no custom avatar URL box at the bottom, top, or middle of any page, so I guess I'm outa luck. I'm using a PC with Explorer, and everything else seems to be as it should be. Not that I don't like the avatar I'm using now, it's a nice avatar. But I like my other one better. And I like to be consistent. Any more suggestions? Gary -------------------- "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 NASB Posts: 436 | From: Mankato, Minnesota | Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Yep NJ Your avatar image looks just like you. IP: Logged |  njclary unregistered posted                 Well I looked through all the avatars, looked again and I realized, my tiger looks JUST like me. 'cute as a button' and it is probably my type of personality too! So I'll leave it. The others do look cool though. God Bless Joel IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Here is the procedure: Click "my Profile". Click "view/update profile" . Click "Select a different avatar image" There you will see all the samples but on the bottom there is an address box called the custom url box. Insert you address in this box including the http:// the address, and whether it is Jpg or gif. click "set url" click "select this avatar" Then on your profile page you must scroll to the bottom and Click " update Profile". If you did this correctly, it will appear the next time you make a post.

We do not have any time limit, so let us know if we can help you. -------------------- God bless, Kindgo Inside the will of God there is no failure. Outside the will of God there is no success. Posts: 4320 | From: Sunny Florida | Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       I went to my profile, but I couldn't find anyplace to put the URL. Is it because I haven't been here long enough? I know some boards limit your choice of avatars until you've posted a certain number of times. What should I do?

Romans 6:23 NASB Posts: 436 | From: Mankato, Minnesota | Registered: Oct 2002  |  IP: Logged |  art unregistered posted                 Gary, Try your avatar, if it is too big , it probably won't work. The biggest I've seen here is Thunderz who has a sword some 3 inches high. IP: Logged |  Gary Advanced Member Member # 523 posted                       What are the size requirements for avatars here? I have one I use on another board, but I'm afraid it's too big to use here.

Find the avatar you like right click on it, go to properites, now copy that address that you see. Now bring it back and paste it in the avatar address bar, you know the one in your profile. Or send me the link where the avatar is and I will fix it up for you. -------------------- God bless, Kindgo Inside the will of God there is no failure. Outside the will of God there is no success. Posts: 4320 | From: Sunny Florida | Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged |  Robby Advanced Member Member # 448 posted                       How do you attach an avatar that is not among the listed avatars? For example, Kindgo has the Jewish star with a dove and that one's not among the different avatar images. Or do you absolutely have to send any request to David?
