Hey,
I only registered on these boards yesterday. A question:
1) Does anyone have any good websites for those custom avatars?
2) How do I get a custom avatar?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Welcome, @Tanis.

Now, do you mean the avatars under your name, on the left side of the screen?
I trust you're not asking about the large signature avatars people use on some other boards.

Simple
1) You click on the "user cp" button on top of your page (somewhere in the middle of the page)
2) On the next page you click on "edit options" .
3) Near the end of the next page is a Button labeled "Change Avatar".
Just follow the signs
4)Last and most important: Learn how to read the
"f.a.q." section

....
No worries,
Beldin

Except Vivien. She's very hugable. But get whatever action you can out of her before she gets married.

Agreed!

You know you have written a great sentence when you can use the words, Vivien and action in it!

Hey, Beldin, our new friend Tanis's question got answered about four posts ago. That makes this thread open for spamming. Besides, I'm just trying to make our friend McBane's day.

@HLD: If you're only trying to make Mac's Day it's justified. Then it's not SPAM then it's SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR (sp ??).
Sorry for confusing your S.A.B. with S.P.A.M. .

Right! Now my whole day of work is shot, as I cannot get those words out of my head.
Well, as I will not be getting any work done, I better take off early today and catch opening day at Wrigley Field......

Too bad the forecast calls for flurries....I hope the beer will keep me warm!

Is that where the new screens are blocking the view from the roofs of neighbouring houses for "security reasons"?

You are correct! I am amazed at the audacity of the Tribune Company. They have been in a heated battle with the city and the rooftop owners over expanding the park. The want to expand over the sidewalk, which the city needs to approve. So, in order to tweak the rooftop owners, the put up plastic on the fences....
An exec of the Cubs was quoted as saying....since Sept 11, we have been discussing this need. We have over 1000 people on those rooftops, and we cannot guarantee the safety of our fans our players.

It's a disgrace to use 911 as an excuse.
