What am I doing wrong? (2025)

Personally I’ve never seen the need to post an avatar on ANY forum as the space allowed is microscopic.

If I where to post an avatar it would be similar to Hillbilly77's, only an inch or so wider, based on distance from the ends of the ears in Hillbilly77's full size picture. My largest outside to outside is 18.75".

As an alternative, paid memberships at the following levels allow for “Enhanced” avatars:
PLATINUM member can have an avatar 100 x 100
GOLD member can have avatar 90 x 90
SILVER members can have an avatar 80 x 80
BRONZE members can have an avatar 70 x 70

Sorry, don't know the size of free membership. But would assume 60 x 60 or smaller.

BTW, I don't contribute at the platinum level so I can have a larger avatar.

I contribute because this is the best place on the internet.

Class III

This is my avatar, Mick Doohan. He won several championships for Honda back in the 500cc two stroke era of MotoGP. When he was "on" nobody could touch him.

No need. I'm sure we all watched the original Saturday Night Live and are all too familiar with that character. That is non other than the irrepressible Raymond J, Johnson Jr.

You can call him Ray
You can call him J
You can call him Johnny
You can call him Sonny
You can call him RJ
You can call him Jr.
But ya doesn't has ta call him Mr. Johnson!

Good Lord: I thought it was Groucho Marx. Really. Never leaned over and looked closely.

I was never a fan of Sat. Night Live. His (labworm's) Johnson sig. made no sense.

Was about to superzise my avatar, when it hit me

Well you get the picture

Mine's little

I started to comment on the title of your post, but I thought it might get me in trouble.

From another life long, long ago

This was taken on my senior trip to SE Asia in 1967.

I like the avatars, they provide a visual cue to who's posting without having to read the name. It's easy to scan through a thread and spot Caj's or Sip's avatar, when their handle might not stand out. And who doesn't immediately recognize The Big Gorilla himself? The avatars that don't work well are the ones that have a lot of fine detail.

Mine is just a self portrait. "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. deMille."

The Southern Cross of Honor

I have used it on other boards. Even had one guy to tell me it was "controversial". I told him I come by it honest...
