Another dummy dummy

[sticky fingers]

I took these pics of a friend's dummy that cost him nearly $400 Aussie. To put it nicely, I told him it wasn't 'traditional'. Well, he isn't even a wing chun student, he does tai chi and choy lay fut.

The pic won't open completely! :(

The walking fossil was outraged and ate the rest.
As the fossil once said- you gotta do what you gotta do.

I found something that (IMHO) could make a great avatar for you!....
Take a look at this! (http://www.gifworks.com/queue/mad_scientist_head_thinking_md_wht_9082.gif) ;) :D

Yeah, sticky, neither of the pics you attached load more than 10 or 20% of the way.

:confused:

Perhaps the full view isn't suitable for general audiences.

Where do you get those avatars OJ. I dont know how to stick one on. It suffices that one of my avatars is the monkey god Hanuman !

[old jong]

I get this from various places on the web.There are a lot! The one I found for you and mine are from this place. (http://www.animfactory.com/)
They are good because you can edit the gifs and modify their size to fit the forum rule of 50x50 pixels.
You just have to right click on it ...copy and paste at the right place in the user control panel .The place is edit options..You will find how to put your avatar in the bottom of the page.

I am sure many could give better explanations!...Come on guys!

[vingtsunstudent]

Ok, maybe I am a little slow when it comes to computers or maybe I am just missing something. I can't figure out the avatar thing. Or at least where you paste it once you've copied it.;)

[vingtsunstudent]

right click and 'save picture as' then just go and get it from your computer.

Assuming you are "logged in," then at the top of this page, go to:

[list=1]
User Control Panel
Edit Options
[/list=1]

At the bottom of the "Edit Options" page you will find options for loading and saving your custom avatar.

Hope that helps.

ok, I have it saved in the saved as, but when I copy and try to place it in the window, it won't let me paste. Oh well, maybe I'll figure it out later. Thanks for the help.;)

You don't "paste" it. You need to "browse" and "upload." The way to do this, is to follow the directions I already outlined, then ...

[list=a]
select "Change Avatar" at the bottom of the "Edit Options" page I directed you to. That will bring up a new page, where you can ...
click on "browse" and follow the steps given to upload your avatar.
[/list=a]

[You probably aren't the only one with this question.]

And yes, if that doesn't work, you can figure it out later. ;)

Good luck.
