Avatars?

[Gangplank]

How do I get an avatar uploaded? I see a few people have them but when I got to the User CP it has a change avatar link but way to upload?

I'm using Google Chrome not that it should matter.

[Gangplank]

I live near Cool, California. There was a coffee shop there. Guess what they called it. ;)

Hello, GangPlank, and welcome from Missouri to a really great forum. Good people and info here!

And, best wishes for a safe, prosperous New Year to you and yours.

Have a young'un at work that says "cool beans" all the time, but she's not from CA, although she does drink coffee.....

Welcome from another new guy from North Dakota

[Gangplank]

So someone here mentioned that Gangplank is the name of a character. I did a quick search and found it is a character on League of Legends video game. I never heard of it until now. For me Gangplank was the name of a snowboard company I started back in 1995-96. My last name is Gang so Gangplank... get it?

Anyway, now I have an avatar quandry. Should i stick with the current one Shotgun Jesus?

Or go with this one which is the Gangplank character?

Reminds me of Robert Rodriguez... the movie director... wikipedia: "directed such films as Desperado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperado_%28film%29), From Dusk Till Dawn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Dusk_Till_Dawn), The Faculty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Faculty), Sharkboy and Lavagirl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharkboy_and_Lavagirl), Spy Kids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_Kids_%28franchise%29), Sin City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin_City_%28film%29), Planet Terror (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Terror), and Machete (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machete_%28film%29). He is a friend and frequent collaborator of filmmaker Quentin Tarantino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Tarantino)."

Hello to all.... another new owner (cw9) to this forum. I applaud you for an incredible site... and to all of the quality posts I see "stickied". While I am not new to firearms.... 100% disabled Gulf war vet, former police officer, certified Glock armorer, etc.. I am smart enough to know I do not know it all and look forward to learning much more about Kahr handguns. I also hope to have an opportunity to lend some of my knowledge in the future. I am struggling to find out how to add my avatar tho. I have signed out, signed in, etc a few times and can't seem to get a link to upload.... Any ideas of what I am doing wrong? Thanks for the help and again, thanks for a great website.

Rob

Welcome to the forum, Rob. A heartfelt thanks for your service to our nation.

Maybe a moderator can help you. I think there's a minimum number of posts before you can post pictures or upload an avatar.

Wynn:)

Welcome to the forum, gulfwarvet! :)

You need a post count of 30 or more to upload an avatar, so get to posting. But you can post pictures from Photobucket. The way I post pics is upload them to Photobucket, mouse over the image, select the Direct Link, come over here to the Post Edit Window, select the Picture Icon (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/John_England/Misc/PictureIcon.jpg), paste the link in there and hit Enter. If I am pulling a picture from some other website, I right click it and select Copy Image Location, then post the same way.
