Don't go all generic-avatar-phobic on us, now...

I was thinking Homer Simpson opened...like...250 profiles.

The irony is that the old FDP said it would never have avatars.
I think you have to access from a computer instead of a phone to upload an avatar. * shrugs *

The weird thing is, this is the avatar ProBoards automatically assigned to me.

I saw a screenshot of the old FDP and got instantly nostalgic, but having said that... it's kind of amazing just how archaic the old place was now that we have the ability to post photos inline and avatars and freaking emoticons or whatever.
Still, it's not the same.

It would have been easy enough to migrate the FDP in the old days but I chose to keep it archaic because it made us, for better or worse, unique. Still, I feel ya.

The new features are cool, but I liked the simplicity of the old site.
I left other sites due to photos and other things taking over the thread.
Nothing worse then opening A thread and needing to hit the scroll button to see all of it.
I hope that never happens here

Okay, I fixed mine. I may change it yet due to unoriginality.

At first glance, bassnguitar looks just like my younger brother, also a bass player. I had to zoom in tight to make sure it was not him. But bassnguitar does not live where my brother lives. Not him. And that is not his bass.

I tried to sell you guys the FDP years with no takers. We're lucky to have this place vs. nothing at all IMO. Frankly, I like the features here. They're just about right. However, the bizarre avatar they assign if you don't have one of your own is an odd one. And I agree that it would be nice to see the posting box resize to have less white space on shorter posts.

There's a setting to turn off all the avatars, but I'm gonna leave it be for now.
Still going to take a little getting used to...

I like seeing the photos, but on the old site I formed my own mental images of what posters looked like, and it turns out I was really wrong! But I'm not the only one; on the FDP CG thought I was a Black dude for awhile------and he liked me better then! ; >

I'm sure that many of us had that "Theater Of The Mind" thing going on.

Seriously, I don't know how that originally came about but, somehow, I'd gotten it my head you were black. I know we talked about there or in email. I remember telling people locally that I'd lost my only black friend... ;o)

What if this “egghead in the clouds” thing is an accurate representation?
