Thread: Avatars
Planet Tolkien is archived and no longer updated, but the forums remain browseable. We have established a Telegram group for old and new visitors to stay connected and discuss all things Tolkien.[1] [2] [3] [4] >>
I was wondering the same thing Tommy, but Matthew said he would help me on Sunday. Maybe if we are around at the same time he can help you through chat too.
I'm in chat now. 
Ermmm. Rednell told me you'd have to send the piccie to Taz, who could fix it for you if it was the right size. Dunno if mine is, but I'm gonna try it anyway. If that's all right with you, Taz, of course.

Just testing.
I hate to be a stick in the mud, but they don't seem to be working quite right. In some places I'm a ... :gulp:...chick! The avatar to the left here is not the one I picked out in the account edit thingy. Other than that, they look great!

Ok try this, to change your FORUM avatar which is supposedly different to the "My Account" version, go to the "Profile" link at the top of the forum. You will be able to select your avatar there. Let me know how it goes...
Whew! Thought I was loosin' me marbles fer a minute there! No worries! We have faith in you Taz. 
Testing...again
Sorry Taz, I tried three times and it doesn't change.

[Edited on 22/8/2002 by MelliotSandybanks]
is it suppose to change all of them or do I have to keep adding post to see if it took?
Well I did it in the forum Profile and in My Account. and neither worked. Any other suggestions?

Is it still broken? I guess the only way to find out is to try it out. The picture at the left should be of someone wearing a tin pot (helmet). 
Well that worked for me; however, it just isn't me.
I later changed it to some Dwarves.

Oh, I am not worried about it. As a matter of fact, I think it is kinda fun to be surprised which one I will get next. Kinda like a game of spin the bottle or roulette. At least it's not russian roulette. Heehehehe
Huh? did I miss something. where is there any indication to that? Oh, well, perhaps I am blind.
Congrats Rednell!!!!

On the left under your name is a status, I.E. "Stranger" or "Regular" and lots more..
If the person has "Council Member" under their name it means they are one of the few people who run Planet-Tolkien.com and make all those *important* decisions

I have to go with the Squirrel on this one, more fish than condom. lol
[Edited on 28/8/2002 by MelliotSandybanks]
A fish wearing a condom on his head then.
Looks great anyway. Taz does it again! Fantastic options - no. 10 suits me best, but is there no evil spider around Taz?

A wizard with a condom over his head! LOL! That's what it looks like to me, yeah, with you there Prog...*we love you Tazzy, we do! We love you Tazzy, we do!*
Ta, Taz!
Ok, I was just looking through the avatars, and I found this one. I could not tell what it was a pic of. It kinda looks like a lion. If that is what it is, I guess I could keep it for a while. My nick name in real life is Kat. So I guess it is appropriate. Oh, btw MelliotSandybanks is just too long of a nick, so I am changing it to just Mellie. It is a little more feminine and easier to type. Just thought I would warn everyone.
Ok, Taz,
How do I change my online nick? Is it possible? I went to My Account, then to change info. and there is no place to change the nick, only real my real name.
I am up for any suggestions.
thanx in advance.
Mellie

Sorry but no there isn't However I could change your nickname for you manually? This would mean you would have to login with the new prefered nick as well as all your previous forum posts would automatically change.

I kind of like your nick. Your avatar looks like Treebeard to me, but I could be wrong, It sure wouldn't be the first time.

Forget it, that sounds like too much trouble. You have entirely too much to do,
Treebeard, that's it. Thanks Red, you are soooo smart.
Hey, guess what! This was my 100th post.! WHOOOOHOOOOOO! Yippppeeeee!

Don't know what's up with the ranking, you should have stopped being a 'stranger' after 50 posts... Will look into it 
Thanks Taz, you really are a sweetie. It is not a big deal. Take your time. I will be around a while, not as often as I was the first couple of weeks, but....
I have many many jobs to complete tonight so for those of you who have me doing other things, please do not think I am leaving them. However it is my intention to try and get at least another 5/10 avatars on the site when I return home.
Just thought you might like to know..
