Just wanted to throw a reminder out there about the Avatars. We all agree they are a fun and alot of people enjoy them as well as find them theraputic.
We also have to remember that some find them very distracting and they can even be painful for some because of the way thier eyes react to certain stimuli.

We do have the fun forums now so would it be possible to share the really big or flashy ones there and keep the ones within our regular postings to a minimum and/or less flashy?

This has come up in discussion before and I think maybe we all kind forgot the imprtance of it.

Thanks!!
Heidu

Hey Willow, did you notice that Heidu is using the self-portrait of me that I sent her? I'm a big hit at halloween parties...

Just a note that you can turn avatars off if you don't like them.

Choose Profile & Messages, then choose to Edit Display Preferences.

You'll find those options at the bottom of that screen.

Best,
John

Pardon my ignorance, but just what are "avatars" anyway? The one thread with that title I have pretty much avoid just because it's so darn long and keeps growing every day, LOL. I arrived here in the middle of it, so I figure I won't bother trying to catch up on that one.

Inkblot, avatars are all the pictures and animations you see on some posts. You don't want to go to the long thread because it's not about avatars! Hey everyone...... The avatars just started that thread, that's all.

Click on this link and it will take you to the thread where there's information of how to used them and how to get them. Hey everyone...... Hey everyone......
