Avatars

A few people have figured out that you can go to www.wincustomize.com and create an avatar that will show up on this site.  It is actually a code bug that the programmers have left.  If it is abused, it will go away, however.

With that, I need to remind people that you are actually uploading to wincustomize.  With that, you are doing so under the terms of Wincustomize.  One of the terms of use states: "(a) upload, post or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;".  It also states: "Stardock and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable." 

Avatars are moderated by Wincustomize.  If you use an avatar that could be considered "hateful", Wincustomize moderators and admins have the right to request its removal or remove it.  If you abuse the avatars, you will be banned from Wincustomize and will no longer have access to it.  Wincustomize has high standard of conduct (much higher than JU), so please keep that in mind when uploading an avatar.

That's okay. I've used just about every incarnation of Windows including 3.11 and NT. With the exception of ME and XP. Right now I'm on 2000 Professional.

ME is an abomination! XP is damn good! I would upgrade if I was you. I got 98, XP and 2K Professional running on my computers. The 98 for customer support, but the 2K and XP are the mainstays.
The earliest version of NT I used was 3.5. I did not touch it before then as it was trash as well.


I also used NT 3.5. I can see absolutely no reason to change from Win 2K Pro to XP. And just to clarify.....ME is a total piece of crap!

There are not a lot of reasons.  2 of the ones I like is the transparency of burning CDs (built in to the OS) and the Search feature looks into Zip/Cab files.  Both handy, but both replaceable by 3rd party software in 2k.

Exactly. Which is why I can see no reason to change. Plus the fact that XP doesn't like a bunch of my programs which means more out of pocket to change them to different versions/programs.

how do you change your avatar? Mine ended up being resized really funny. I have a different one but it won't change it.

I guess it did. I just had to log out and log back in for it to take. Sorry about all the posts.

It changes it, but just does not show you it has changed it.  I know, I changed mine, and it did not look like it took, but it did!

Inserted from JU according to my browser which is currently quite tricky even if loggin in + out in right combinations and closing + reentering and I wont worry about because I am quite busy on several sites including enjoyment necessary for further (hobby) work and paid a lot for a computer and tools to enjoy avatars and such not to find that does not work on the very tool support channels for those tools themselves. Pull an avatar or comment, que pasa. Close site - what a reward for hard work incl. mistakes not always that intentional. Had to cope with issues and learning and paying in beginning. Evvy1 else having fun, sometimes at my cost, If I do that, what a No No. Be glad to adjust to new rules, they sure are not here yet now. Spent much time in vain tracking and collecting destructive or phony IDs and reporting. Course I know its hard to keep everything perfect, for you + me, who is an angel round here, the majority? Me? Look forward to changes, as long as creative work is still possible, which I cant even all do here, after 5 submit turndown which I understand, was forced to spend more time + money going elsewhere in addition to here. Still grateful for what I can learn, not just my fault If Im switched down to read only because of something like this.

And have a look at this Bash2cools recent 783 comment thread full of links avatars emoticons which is really creative on this topic, called I wonder.... etc. on WC, I think
