everyone, please consider posting a full face photo as an avatar

yes, let's get your smiling faces up on this board. i know that staying anonymous is the trend on the internet, but i would like that to not be the standard here. some serious talent is passing through this place. i met a guy last night that strips down his daiwa pluton after every fishing trip. you deserve credit and recognition for what you contribute, what you do and the help that you provide to others. i believe that starts with a real name and a real photo. if you need help, e-mail your photo and i can post it, but please give it a shot yourself first. thanks! alan

Not full-face (I wouldn't wish that on anyone) but my avatar is a ceramic that a friend sculpted for my 50th birthday

What should the dimensions and file size of an avatar be?

Thanks,

Alan, can you post how to size and add pics to our avatar?

Norcal Pescador · February 20, 2011, 03:30:13 AM

Because the picture is automatically shrunk (is that a word?) down to thumbnail size, you should be able to use any photo.

Go to "Profile" and choose "Forum Profile Information".
Click on "I will upload my own picture" and then "Browse" to find the picture you want to use.
When you find the picture, try double-clicking on it but it shouldn't appear until you "Change Profile".
At the bottom click on "Change Profile".
You're done! Go back to the "Home" page and you should see your charming face.

Alan: I enjoyed Paris a lot, I considered going back this spring instead of (bite my tongue) Baja,

but wouldn't you know it? Baja won out

I have an idea! Instead of posting our own head shots (fisherman ain't pretty)... post a photo of your dream girl(s)

Sorry Alan... I can't help myself

You're getting ready to open a can of worms Dom.

Sal, you're absolutely right.
If our wives and girlfriends see each others' pictures, we'll be in deep trouble!

I did say "dream girls" ... I hate to tell yas, but your wives probably have their "dream guys" in their avatars on some cooking recipe sites. Don't ask me how I know

Aren't here any single fishermen out there, guess it's just me... thanks for being hitched everyone. More for me!
