Oh OK then! I'll have a Mac instead So many other options though: the face of the almighty God of Computing himself, a Start button, my Vista box, my Acer PC...



I'm surprised no-ones pulled the old Major insignia (or even the one above that, if it got cached anyway) out of a cache and made that their avatar yet!

I put my 1st lieutenant one up

You should use the little Vista "orb" Windows Logo

Look! Its the Magical Leopluradon!

I had to include my little Q650 with Tux inside (okay, so it's the Mac-on-Linux mascot, but he still looks cute ).

 

[Scott Baret]

This one's compact enough (in more ways than one) so I'm going to try it...

Hehe! I was wondering if anyone would catch that!

The avatars look great I may add. I didn't think they would work, but I suppose they do!

Just one more thing I need to consider now. :

PS. This is the closest thread to ask in... but what happened to the Platinum frontend? SubSilver is a nice theme, it just feels so cold compared to the old one. :b&w:

 

[Flash!]

now i have an avatar

 

[Mr. 680x0]

I think small avatars are a great idea.

 

[Orion]

Me too.

 

[MultiFinder]

They do seem to be working out fine.

 

[MacG4]

yeah avatars are great

Rank insignias. Go with the classics, the heritage.

In my innocence I thought that this notion had been well-and-truly canvassed shortly before the 68K MLA Forum went AWOL, with the preponderance of sentiment being for retention of the military conceit rather than the self-centred (even if that is very 'now') free-for-all of 'personal expression'. As for recognition of others, is that not what names are for?

I agree that post count magnifies the contribution of machine-posters, but I cling, perhaps naïvely, to the idea that the quality and content of worthwhile posts will shine through, especially to those who have mastered the art of drawing sense from the written word without needing to be cued with graphic symbols.

Why not continue with what we had? The whole point of a system of ranks is not only to promote, but also to level. It's not a matter of accident that armies have few generals and many privates.

I have my old captain rank insignia in place as an avatar while this is all officially sorted.

I would like to see the 68kMLA return to the Army format again. Remember the days when our signatures contained something along the lines of "Lieutenant Commander" or "Captain, Intelligence Operations"? The 2 words we used so often, "Covert Ops"? What happened? We had a perfect theme going until about Mid 2006.

Give the Army another go. The holiday breaks are over, it's time to get back on the front lines. Get inspired, read the archives.

PS. I've added my army status back in to my signature. Ready for duty.

I'm in on the 80 by 80, 40k.

If you want art then make it, if it's a good piece of art you can make it work in 80 by 80 40k?

Lets see who gets the most recognisable avatar

 

[pzler]

avatars can be a pain for lynx so i voted no

 

[steve30]

I usually identify people by their avatars, which is why I find them really useful.
