    Noooooo o o o ..... . . . . . . .

    's OK though, I now know how to switch 'em off. My faith in Firefox is restored.

    Some forums using vBulletin do actually ban them. Hmmm...
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Naturally, i fired off a reddie back to member concerned with the comment "you have no taste and your avatar is boring".

    Ive also had a couple of email requests for copies of the avatar from people wanting to useit on other boards (seems not everyone knows they can just right click an avatar and download it)

    I dont remember where i found the avatar in the first place or who originated it, so i cant answer the eternal question of whose boobies they are.

    Not from the real darksiders. Probably only 'cos they haven't worked out how to semaphore it to their ISPs though.

    When Tankstand had it he posted the link for the website it was on. So a search will tell you where you got it from.

    Peter this avatar is all over the internet, what you are saying assumes i got it from the same source as tankstand, and from the way you said it i suspect the source was, well lets say a little seedy. what are you trying to get at, mate???

    Sorry Doug, I just presumed that you got it from the same website and that one had a range of animated avatars ready for downloading.

    Nothing seedy and my apologies if my post came out wrong.

    God no. We'd get even less done then, and Neil would have to charge us rent.
    We'd all be like those two clowns on the movie "Weird Science".
    Talk about hypnotising. Tried to give you a greenie for the visuals though.
    Cheers
