Eclipse avatar

[Ed Kolis]

Why is it that so many newbies have that eclipse icon as their avatar? is it really that attractive?

[ckotchey]

It was the first one I saw that didn't look totally ridiculous, or didn't look like cheap clip-art from Freelance Graphics.

That is, except for the one YOU chose, of course, and I didn't want to be a copy-cat. ;-)

Well, actually, after I chose my avatar I found that someone called "Nebraskan" already had it... but I didn't want to change 'cause I liked the picture and there weren't very many good ones available anyway!

You can make your own.

How do you make/post a diffent one?

Yawn...I quite fancy these colorful red and blue stripes...

Hmph!

[indignant] It is not an eclipse. It is The (black) Eye of Sauron. So there. [/indignant]

Kimball, the easiest way to add your own avatar is to upload your graphic to Shrapnel's server.

1)goto New Scenario/Mod forum
2)enter to a topic thread
3)hit post reply
4)click on Upload File Form ( to left of type in area)
5)Browse or enter address of picture file you want(Gif or jpg)
6) click on upload button

once you have uploaded your file, you will get a message with a file path and number that represents your file.
Use this path and number in the avatar URL area of your profile.
Viola! You have a custom Avatar!

P.S. Mine is an animated Gif. Ain't I a handsome devil!
