Okay. That's me.


Before I can present myself to the public (by posting in ACDG threads other than our private forum here) - I need a smart and flashy new uniform.


That means getting a better avatar than what I'm toting around at the moment.

I noticed that you all have ones that aren't supplied by this site. I want one that looks like a "charging knight of the crusades".

How do you do that?
And explain it in very simple easy to understand words.

I've got one I was intending to use when I was a Spartan (I joined Sparta before being elected as Mod). If you like it I can resize it to 80x80, simply go to 'options' in your control panel and 'change avatar', and upload it. It's not quite a charging knight, but see what you think:

[KrysiasKrusader]

Oh wow. That looks good. But it's too "grunty".
I really would like a "charging steed into battle" look.

I don't know how to "upload".

Thanks for trying to help out.

[Drogue]

When you go to the 'change avatar' screen, click on browse, locate the file in your computer, and click on it. Then click ok, and it'll upload it for you

Hey Guys!

We've met the Gaians.
And I still don't have a uniform!!
I need to be presentable.
You don't want me to look like I don't know what I'm doing?
(Or is that the reason...?)


Someone just explain how one can make an avatar like the ones you have.

Oh good. Some action here.


I like the third picture with the double headed flail, Kassiopeia.

Thanks for your help too Maniac.

[Kassiopeia]

I think it's the best one too. The fourth one's horse is a bit too... messy, the first is too dark and the second, well.

Hey! I figured it out.
Only took like 4 minutes.
Thanks for the instructions.

[KrysiasKrusader]

Hey!

I just figured a new trick!

What I do is have the forum page (the one listing all the threads), in my main window. Then, instead of clicking on the last page all the time, then having to do the same to the next thread, but after having to click back on "ACDG3 Spartans"...;
I just right click on the thread I want and say "open in a new window". I can do this several times. Then I can just push on whichever I want and have instant access to that particular thread.

All subject to the time it takes for each page to load of course.



(I'm getting smarter all the time. Pat self on back...)

[KrysiasKrusader]

Well...
The above sometimes causes my system to go in complete lock-up...
Damn.
'Nother good idea with its inherent drawbacks...

[Kassiopeia]

Are you using Internet Explorer? Because Mozilla Firefox is way, WAY more convenient when you want to open up several windows at ones and go between them. It has tabs, which are like small website windows inside the browser. So instead of the taskbar below with the Start button full of separate Internet Explorer windows, you have only one window for Firefox, and inside Firefox you have the separate windows, tabs, for various websites.

It is the official Spartan browser. It can migrate your bookmarks and cookies from IE too. I haven't used IE for anything except Windows Update for two years now.

[KrysiasKrusader]

Oh my God...
That sounds like something really complicated for me to undertake, Kassiopeia. But I'll give it a look, and see how tough that will be to do...

In other news...

How does one go about making a pole?
Do I just check on the box that says: "Yes! Make a poll!" ?
And then will it give me my options?
Or do I have to make the poll in the white box first?
If the second; how do I know where to put the questions so that people can check a voting box?

Mucho Appreciado...
