PROFILE PICTURES

Show up only in your profile (not in each post like Avatars) Should be a picture of you please, no junk. Junk will be deleted. If you are concerned about posting your pic, please read below under "Avatars" for suggestions It's perfectly OK to upload the same pic as both your Avatar and your profile picture User CP Avatar Profile Picture You can link to a remotely hosted picture or upload a picture from your computerAVATARS (info FYI): Avatars are the small pics that display under your name next to your posts You can upload a custom avatar through your User CP/Avatars panel As many people are hesitant to put a current picture up (in case they are recognized - although what Grandma is doing surfing the Archive I will never understand) I recommend scanning and using a picture of youself as a youngster or teen because: It's still a picture of YOU so it's personal It's still fairly unrecognizable (unless your mom is here) It's a way to put a "face" with the name Just Do It

What, you don't like Colin Creevey?

Colin's great ...

Hehe ... not a criticism of anyone avatar, just a suggestion for newer members and food for thought for everyone else.

I will admit there a certain ... neatness ... about seeing a picture ... whether current or not ... of the actual PERSON. Kind of neat!

I agree with you Bboy. When you have a picture of yourself, it brings a more personal feeling to the message board. I like seeing who's on the other end of that message.

I believe I was the very first to have an avatar that was a simple picture of what I really look like today. Can you arrange it so my current avatar is also my profile picture? Thank you.

Hey bboy -- I'm old enough to be your Grandma -- if I weren't a man! So if someone's grandma is surfing EA, it is no surprise and she won't be offended, right? I would venture to guess that the vast majority of people surfing the sex-related sites are retired gentlemen (hak) like me. When ou get to a certain age you lose yhour inhjibitions, cultural tabus and finally just enjoy the cruise. usually because it is interesting to see the varieties of human sexuality. And if that is a problem with the uptight who think sex is somehow not permissable fro human adults then screw tehm.

But Salami is right about the idea that there are wackos who feel they have some resposibility to wipe out sexual discussion in the name of morality or whatever (oh, no, I'm ranting again! Stop me!).

At my age, salami, I am ashamed to ask -- but who is Barney Fife?

One last add, the way this web site is conducted I don't ever find much that I feel is pornographic. it is usually people seeking information about the subject of castration. Since lawmakers in various states have no problem with castrating offenders, then how is it porn? The thing that makes EA so stimulating is the high level of intellect one finds here (let's hear it for all of us).

All I can say is that I am not afraid to use my picture here.

If we can't even use a picture of ourselves as we see fit then we are ALL in real trouble!

Salami!

Elmo... You don't tickle him do you?

Sorry, just had to.

Thanks, Salami,

I never watched Mayberry, but grew up in a small town where the police force (or force-less) spent half their time boasting about hwo tough they were and the other half either committing crimes or finding ways not to arrest anyone. Probably because they couldn't read or write well enough to file a report.

Got that off my chest.

I never realized certain sites were available on public computers. Most cyber cafe's have adult filters don't they?I ahve a friend in England who can hardly access any sies if they have the wrong words in them.

I would think being able to keep the avatars from showing would help enough. But I think on a site like this we should create first and worry about the occasional problem later.

And Elmo is a handsome fellow.

Well Bboy i decided to put my pic up as i am today and if someone reconizes me than that will be a good time to tell them about myself and if thay have a problem than i guess it is thairs.Thanks for the help
