I just think it's great that Iago has given me (and a couple others) the chance to lend our avatars for the board to use.  And that also reminds me that I have a bunch that I've shared here, but have neglected to send to Iago to add to the available avatars.

If there's a Jim-related avatar that seems to be missing, let me know, and I'll see if I can do something about that!

Mister, Cursor's Fury, Elaine, Ebenezar, Thomas.

Well, if you get the artist's permission, this could be Mister, posessed by Bob:

I love the drawings, but those cats are far too thin!  Perhaps they are to Mister what Perdita is to Agnes Nitt?

I have a drawing of Mister that I did if you guys are in need of an avatar of him.  Just tell me where to send it.
My avatar hosted by the folks at www.flickr.com.  This link is included so their TOS guys don't hunt me down. O_O

Though the French under my avi is probably incorrect, please don't hurt me...

Must now post many times.

*looks at post number*

Many many more times.

Answered my question ;)

BTW, the links are to avatars I own (one a custom purchase, the other an edit with permission from the originator to use and pass along).

Apparently, when you hit a certain number of posts (100, I think), you get the option in your settings.

I am unable to get any kind of avatar to work.  The profile option is there (and I have more posts than some I've seen with avatars, so I know thats not it).  The scroll window to choose one appears extremely thin, and if i click within it i get a whole one pixel changing from white to black, but thats the most response i can get out of the thing.

If you have less than 100 posts, you cannot upload your own avatar, you'll have to use one of the ones the site provides until then. Could this be part of the problem?

I've brought it to Fred's attention.  Most likely, the code is just pointing to the wrong subdirectory in the wake of the site move.  If so, it should be an easy fix.
