+Jhwk Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just remember, when you get your new 'face' loaded, you have to click on the forum link on the geocaching.com web site for the avatar to 'stick' or change over here. Quote Link to comment

Hello The Girl Your set of instructions is clear. You answered my question. To the point. My question was not formulated to reflect what I really want to know. I did ask how to attach an Avatar. Your response was letter perfect. What I should have asked for is where do I go to find an Avatar to attach to my name. This is a two step operation. Step One- Finding the Avatar. Step Two- How to attach it. Thank you "The Girl", you answered step one. Now where do I find an Avatar, that I can place in a folder on my desk top. Then attach it from there. Thank you all for helping out. Now Please recommend an Avatar site for a Free download. Thanks again JG Edited October 25, 2007 by johngtmo Quote Link to comment

I don't even use Avatar sites anymore since any picture or drawing will work, mine was a thumbnail from a website selling Pirate flags. What would you like for an Avatar? Quote Link to comment
