Hey, Quincy has an avatar.

How about the rest of us?

What are we? Chopped liver?

We will probably expand this list to all senior members but we are a corporation so we have to have a meeting first.

 

[quincy]

If that is the case can this be my avatar?

PayrollHRGuy, I think your proposed avatar might be scaring the corporation.

"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility."

I think I'll make my avatar a large blue square with a 'Z' centered in it.

That's just mean...blech!!

Carves a "Z" with his blade,
A "Z" that stands for Zigner.

It really wasn't supposed to be that large a photo of chopped liver. But once it was posted I just couldn't make myself remove it.

I'll see your corporation and raise you one federal government. We'd have to have meetings about the meetings, congressional hearings about the necessity of avatars, firestorms of angry tweets, threats to protest (from both pro-and anti-avatar camps), and, finally, years later, avatars would be approved for all senior members. Of course, by that time no one would even know what an avatar is, as technology would be so advanced as to render them obsolete.

I'll see your federal government and raise you one iconic private university founded in the 1600's. I swear we still have proposals on the table signed by JH himself.

Where is the Avatar setting?

You can go to your "account details" page and click on your letter block.

Not everyone has the avatar feature yet.

So ... can we expect a bowl of chopped liver next to your name soon?

 

[FlyingRon]

Apparently not many. Other than you, the senior members don't seem to yet have the option.

I do think we now have the ability to REPORT and suppress posts (I did it on your locked thread).

God I hope NOT!! That was really gross....

I have only seen that CdwJava and Highwayman have avatars so far (the cops).

I don't know how long it takes or what the selection process is as far as who gets theirs first. But the recent addition of two more avatars seems a positive move.

 

[PayrollHRGuy]

I don't have it yet. And no there won't be chopped liver when I do. Blue is right it was gross.
