Avatars Only

[canuckamuck]

This thread is only for members with an avatar. Because one can't expect to be taken seriously when they are merely a default silhouette.

The avatar is a wonderful thing when it accompanies a post. From this pictorial representation a reader will automatically know whether to move on or to pay close attention, because the member represented by the graphic is likely to have previously distinguished themselves through oral incontinence or with a pleasing regularity. it is a wonderful time saver by which I can breeze through pages of posts, alighting only upon those likely to bear pearls.

Personally I have several favorites which I will not mention for fear they would err under overwhelming public interest.

This thread is Blether approved.

[Beechboy]

Funny man.

Not quite as funny as your avatar though.

[Rsquared]

I am so glad that it got the official approval from theblether.

I also have come to recognise avatars that arouse my interest and look forward to that persons' comments........until someone started a thread showing how you can change your avatar, then I had to do a double-take, as I had to focus on the name instead of the avatar.

But as I am totally new to forums I like some of the imaginations behind the choices of avatars.

All good fun.

Cheers.

As for the actual point in hand, I agree, it's handy to scour over threads and pick up on posts from members that are in the habit of making sense. On the other hand, it's handy for finding posts from members that wind you up, so all round, it's a winning idea!!

ps. You set me up there Canuckamuck, you b*st^rd

Choosing your av is like looking deep into your soul to see who you really are and what that reflects.

Do not make that decision lightly.

Mine is a daily reminder of a lost love.

Self portrait.

[cooked]

when I get a 'like' I find it much easier to see which post it was that has been liked when browsing through a couple of hundred posts.

There again, I don't get many, so my avatar (labelled 'prat' on my desktop) may be superfluous.

The bathroom mirror works fine.

[PattayaParent]

I only use it to find my own posts quickly in a thread.

I don't really look at others, I read the posts.

My avatar is a reference to a particular spot on a favourite island.

Hopefully it will receive the official theblether stamp of approval next month.

I have sent word to the owners and they are having the hammock strengthened in honour of his impending visit.

All our fingers are crossed in hope of receiving this prestigious award.

[transam]

I'm hoping for OBE.

Warning, do not try to get inside my head, I don't like it in there myself sometimes.

Wheres my <deleted> dictionary (AGAIN).

[kerryk]

I used to have one. Remember? But someone stole it. I didn't do anything to it. It was after a conversation with Canucamuck or Semper. I suspect one of them has it.

[MrRealDeal]

I think kerryk stole mine , it looks like it anyhow.
