Sorry if I bother....but highlight the word "ClickHere" --> then you see up on top of the message window some blue ball with something that looks like a chain. (Link)
There you put in the address you want.
Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for letting us know!!

Yeah!! Another female in 10F ! Just what we needed !!! :D :D


Not too much longer and I believe Mrs. BeetleBoss will have you under her wings.....;) :P

[~*Nat*~]

Maybe you could get yourself a cute avatar...?

Just a suggestion. :)

[stapp]

Yes I would like that. Any ideas on a place to look?

[~*Nat*~]

-{ Quote: "Yes I would like that. Any ideas on a place to look?" }-

Well the easiest and fastest way would be to get an avatar right here from Wilders.

Go to your User CP (on top left) ---> Edit Avatar.

You can also use any pic you find on the internet...or your own ;)
...but it would need to be resized.
Wilders only allows puny 60x60 size avatars. :-\

Hey stapp,

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/images/other/spinstar.gifWelcome to Wilder's!! http://www.wilderssecurity.com/images/other/spinstar.gif
I'm sooooooo thrilled that you're a female. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/images/other/MAKEFACE.GIF

Hey, there's lots of us that would be happy to help ya with an avatar.
What kinds of things do ya like? colors? and such?
Remember, 60X60 is pretty teeny...so, it can't be too much.

[BeetleBoss]

[eyes-open]

Can we play too please - can we huh ?

courtesy link to .gif source (http://foxtrotters.tripod.com/animate.htm)

[stapp]

Please do then I'll have 3!!
I will be swopping them around as the mood takes me, what a lucky person I am.

[eyes-open]

Assuming I've done this right - there should be a fairly traditional though reasonably feminine & slightly animated giraffe (it's sorta winking).

I understand if it's not your thing - I know its difficult when you receive something that is not to your taste.....

[stapp]

That is very clever eyes open I have uploaded it for use in the future, but with 4 now it may be a while!! I really appreciate your time and effort

Thank you

[stapp]

Where is it gone?? I clicked on it and it's gone!!

[eyes-open]

Hi stapp

Yeh I removed it - would you believe the timing. Will pm you in a minute.

Edit: for the benefit of the curious - tho' I had altered the original image for this particular effort including resizing, tinting, altering background & animating, when I went back to compare the avatar I'd made with the source image I'd used - I felt there was still too much that was distinctly recognisable as the original artists work. As the source was a commercial piece I chose to withdraw it. The cruelty of the timing was entirely the fault of the Universe......

[eyes-open]

I know these aren't quite as nice as the other which I withdrew. But it is just about useable. I've included aniimation again - tho' some clarity is lost because of the limitation of the original media.

So to make up - there are 3 different background colours.

[eyes-open]

Another:-

[eyes-open]

and finally:-

These you can use to your hearts content - I'm happy to provide a different background if you want. Yet again - I understand if they're not to your taste. :)

[stapp]

I think the last one is nicer, perhaps the colour background appeals more.
The wink is pretty good too.

Thanks eyes:)

[eyes-open]

You're very welcome stapp - yeh the wink is an illusion created using only 1 or 2 pixels. Seemed to do the trick :)

Give me more of an idea about how you'd like the seahorse one and I'll get something sorted. Tho' I gotta tell you - I'm deeply suspicious of the Seahorse:-

-{ Quote: "Due to the fact that it is the male that becomes pregnant it was previously believed that it would be the females that competed for the male partners. This however is simply not the case. Like in most species, it is the male that competes with other males to attract and defend his female seahorse. So, it would appear that the male actually wants to be pregnant. The seahorse male is sounding more and more like every woman's perfect mate!" }-

There's something not quite right there .......:isay: :ouch:

[stapp]

To me seahorses are unique things, otherworldly.
They way they move in the water is just so graceful and serene. I suppose giraffes move graceful too !

I've not seen too many seahorse avatars ( especially not pregnant ones! )

[BeetleBoss]

Check out how cool this one is!!!
I didn't make it.I just found it http://img115.exs.cx/img115/9916/z4dwink.gif

Its too big....I can resize it, if you'd like.

OK cool - that explains it - otherworldly, can't happen to me..........still, those blasted scientists and their experiments :-

Would you have any objections to me using the seahorse on my mobile? It's lovely.

-{ Quote: "Would you have any objections to me using the seahorse on my mobile? It's lovely." }-
You go right ahead......I just found it off the internet. http://img115.exs.cx/img115/9916/z4dwink.gif

Did you need it resized?

[stapp]

No, It's fine the way it is.



Have a nice day !
