Mine's green.

mine looks constipated

I'm a star!

I have a blue star with eyes that is winking - very very odd

Mine's cheesey.....

mines got shades and a plaster over his mouth. probably would be an improvement if I kept the trap shut.

I have one too

I have a green one with a weird grin and a raised eyebrow, maybe we have had our cards marked if we commented on the latest mag! Oh know paranoia is setting in. 😕 😆

I'm a grumpy pink circle with shades on. Uncanny.

ive got a plaster over my mouth 😯

WTF? 😯 Err, no thanks mods - what I had before was fine

stoopid

i have a pink one woth its eyes closed, glasses on and one tooth 😕

I had something like an arse wearing glasses peeping through curtains... so I changed it for an arse wearing a hat sat on a rock.

WTF is a gravatar (yes I know it's a little face picture thingy) but what does it mean. No way I'm going sleep tonight not knowing. FWIW mine is orange with glasses and buck teeth?

I've got one but can't get it to show using the [ img ] linky [ /img ] ?

mines a picture of a fat bastard on a bike! oh wait! no sorry please ignore

Mine appears to be an appropriately seething mass of middle class rage:

Ideal.

Just added a proper pic to mine 🙂

Just added a proper pic to mine

me too i guess you can change these for real pics

What benefit does adding a pic give the mods?

I don't think these were added by the mods. I suspect that [url= http://en.gravatar.com/ ]Gravatar.com[/url] have just assigned random silly portraits to everyone who hasn't bothered registering their own pictures (gravatars).

What's the point of having and avatar pic that only you can see 😕

I know what I look like and try to spend as little time as possible looking at it....

What's the point of having and avatar pic that only you can see

Erm.. everyone who looks at your profile can see it. On this site and any other site that also uses gravatars. That's kinda the point.

It would seem the mods have achieved their aim. Personally I'm sticking with what they've given me on principle - and would do so even if I was thinking about adding a proper pic.

Yeah, right on brother! Stand up to THE MAN!

If you change your mind you may wish to consider this.

Issue with Gravatar is that you need to use the same email address so if you use different ones on different websites, it won't work (unless you can register multiple email addresses).

I suspect no-one is really that fussed about seeing a picture of the peeps on here (unless it is the blokes trying to check out the females (and then discovering they are actually blokes!)), but Gravatar has probably done a block change for any unregistered accounts (although I don't recall ever doing anything on Gravatar so it must be some sort of template change done on the actual profile page when you register).

Pentagon with a squint smile...not a bad guess, but it's of no interest to me...

[i]It would seem the mods have achieved their aim. Personally I'm sticking with what they've given me on principle - and would do so even if I was thinking about adding a proper pic. [/i]

Yeah you do that and then just consider for a moment it has nothing to do with mods.

mmm, so does this mean that stw have given gravatar my email address to generate this thing?

I don't recall giving them permission to do that.

No it doesn't.

I now kind of see what Mark meant the other day on Twitter.

so how does it work then Drac?

Same way as it did before but now it's a different pic.

how did it work before then Drac?

Edit: not trying to be difficult but I've always just ahd a generic silhouette (sp?) and everyone who hasn't loaded an image has had the same picture. Now they are 'personalized' and I'd like to understand how that wa achieved.

They have a Gravatar plugin for this site, if you assigned you email address for this site to Gravatar then you could select your image. If you didn't then it had the Gravatar logo, you now have a character logo it may be the plugin has been tweaked a little so different users get a different one.

Mine looks like I'm very startled having been surprisingly and roughly 'taken from behind' 😯

well, if you know what you look like under those circumstances cheeseyfeet then thanks for sharing. 😉

edit (again) thanks Drac - still a bit surprised as gravatar seems to insist on an email address. maybe they use forumname@singletrackworld to do it?

Your assisgned Code with your account that code will allow the different avavatar.
