    Does anyone else feel like we don't make good use of the wide array of avatars that Boards has on offer?


    Tonight I'm showcasing this delightful green smiling snot-tooth. Dare to join me and....switch it up a little? Go on..."ava"-go ( a play on avatar!) *sexy wink* ;)

    They are a little dated to be fair about it.

    I have used the Hagar avatar since the day I joined and I don't think I will stop now, unless I subscribe, then I may change it. Too many people use the boards announcement thing as their avatar.

    I like mine, doesn't seem to be a common choice either. Every frikkin time someone does have the same one it confuses me for a microsecond though "I don't remember posting that at all!"

    Reminds of the neighbour and his wife going shopping. He sees cans of beer and throws them in the basket. She looks at the price. €10. 'Too dear' she says and leaves them back. Further down the aisle she puts face cream in the basket. He looks at the price. €20. He puts it back on the shelf. 'Why you do that' says she, 'that makes me look younger and more attractive'. Says he, 'I had something in the basket a while ago that would do that for half the price'.

    I like the mushroom because it is cute and fun(gus).

    I think I had a rainbow of some sort when I was a subscriber. And I had something else also, can't remember what it was.

    The standard ones are a bit like those ring tones on an old Nokia phone. Antiquated. Always hard to find one that suits.

    One man's antiquated is another woman's "vintage retro chic". You have to have the eye for a good one like I do, you see. My own is pretty much case in point.

    Of course the ultimate vintage retro is no avatar at all!

    I've had that stuff disabled since day one. It's far too distracting.

    The ones with good contrast are usable, others are just a squiggly blob (to my eyes anyway)
