In Case You Wonder Why My Avatar is Gone...

That would be up Jordan's alley as he'd have to customize the software to get something like that added but you're not alone in wanting it.

Oh darn! I've gone and forgotten how to change avatars! I'll just have to hijack GNTLGNT's virtual being forever, like some sort of bad horror story. Oh well.

From the FAQ:

How do I set signatures, avatars and profile pictures?
You can set and change your avatar and profile picture in the User Control Panel. You cannot set a signature.
To select an existing avatar, click on 'Edit Avatar'.

Those directions aren't quite as clear as they might be, though.

First go to Settings <top right of page>
Once at that page, on the far left, scroll down to My Settings, Click on Edit Avatar
Make your choice and don't forget to Save your changes before leaving the page.

I did not think people used the word "Macho" anymore!

...I trust in your better judgement...

Sorted. I picked that as a Mario fan rather than a baseball fan.

Those little fellas were a nightmare in Mario World 2: Yoshi's Story - so seems sort of fitting on a Stephen King board.

Sort of.

That's a great new avatar. Really like it. Now I can spot your posts with ease. Love and green lights!!

It was quite fun being GNTLGNT for a bit...

Anybody that thinks being macho is only to impress has missed out on an artform that can be very productive and fun. By the way, I am not impressed with your macho style either....kidding, I am a little impressed but, you can stop anytime :P
