OK Roff, I'm fed up with you not having an avatar! You're dragging the look of the place down, and it's only fitting that the highest poster should have a damn avatar to his name! :wink:

So out of the goodness of my heart, I've made you one! :lol:

Now I've toiled away at this for quite LITERALLY seconds, so you need to use it. I've also given a cursory nod to Boney on this who (for some entirely inexplicable reason) decided to nickname you Roff the Prof. :shock: So here we are -

I expect it to be used! :wink: :lol:

Not content with doing this to me, Driver8 even sends me a PM pointing me at it.

I know I don't have an avatar, or a sig, and I don't post pictures quickly enough and I'm a bit weird about not sharing my collection. What I do have is an appreciation for this site and the people that make it what it is. If it weren't for the members I wouldn't be here posting!

I'm a bit embarrassed about the Roff the Prof thing - I just have an interest that's all. Let me think about the whole professor bit - I'll get an avatar sorted out, even if it's only my company logo.

Driver I need one also but I'm to thick to do it, give me a clue.

Cheers

Andrew,

You can add it from the user Control Panel - you just need a small enough picture to use.

Driver8 created his in Photoshop.



And I suppose that you are all going to say that this is too boring :roll:

I reckon a combination of one of those great pics that Mofongo found, plus your Roffensian font name would do the trick, Roff! :thumbsup:

@Andrew, they're pretty easy and very quick to knock up if you have Photoshop (or a similar package). The real problem I found doing my original one was getting it small enough without it starting to pixelate on screen. If you want to do one, just save down the one I did for Roff (the one that he's cruelly discarded! :wink: ) and provided you keep the resolution and size the same you can use it as a blank canvas to make one up.

That's what I did with Roff's - just used my existing one for the size and resolution and knocked up a new design in about a minute. :thumbsup:

Deny it all you would like Roff: you are who you are. Here, you are the Professor. Yes, BTW, your idea lacks, um, flair. I like the professor from Futurama. Funny. :mrgreen:

Here you go Andrew. Not massively inspiring, but it contains the Scottish colours! :thumsbup:

Right, I'm done on the avatars now. I'm not doing any more. I'm fully avatar'd out! :wink:

I like the script Roff but it could use some colour / background...or one of those fine pictures that Mofongo delivered :twisted:
