Avatar Technology Run Amok???

[Silk]

So Clay and Keith and their War of the Avatars has caught my attention. First they both have Keith’s, now Clay’s. I’m sure there’s a perfectly logical explanation for this . . . . but just what it might be escapes me. Guys????? :D :D

I think they both uploaded a personal avatar with the same file name.

Yep...that's right...I didn't do anything, and all of a sudden, this "guru" thang appears under my name. -----> NOT A GURU!....particularly with regard to anything info. tech. related. And just for the record, I uploaded my real avatar first.

I verified that both users uploaded avatars with the same file name. The file name in question was avatar.jpg. I've renames Clay's avatar to clay-avatar.jpg. Keith needs to upload his again.

Keith, rename your file to something a bit more unique.

I've also added several public avatars to the system. Feel free to use any of them.

So do we all need to rename our avatars to be avatar.jpg ? :D

[pbrown]

I can do that for you. I'll go through the list and see who has generic names. I'll also be more carefull about approving avatars with generic names line avatar.

Funny Okie......this dummy for one, thought if I was uploading it from my own personal PC, any old name would do. What better name for an avatar, but avatar.jpg? Those of us entering our elderly years need a few memory aids, so we don't go wandering off somewhere. At least my elderly butt won't be sore anymore after fixing my seat cushion. Keith doesn't have an excuse......he's an Excelguru.....I can proclaim computer stupidity.......LOL.

Clay said, "Those of us entering our elderly years need a few memory aids, so we don't go wandering off somewhere."

Scheeesh.... what are you.... 40? maybe 45? Either that or you've aged VERY gracefully!!!!

Elderly years: when your old enough to collect Social Security!!

I thought I named it "excelguru"... hmm... maybe not.
I'm glad you guys noticed it, too. I was beginning to think that I was halucinating from a combination of sleep deprivation and diaper pail fumigation.

Testing testing... I think it needs to be approved first... maybe it'll be there tomorrow.
