combsdon,
Yes, the avatar is the image that you see by the name......once you get that 100 post you get to pic your very own and that is pretty cool because you can get creative and you can change it anytime you like.
In the case of mine, and how I came about it, another member here named "Signature" sent me a PM one day and said.....
"I was messing around with some images and I've put something together for you that I believe you might like."
I was sooooo happy that I received this creation that she made for me all on her own, I was estactic........ I still am, and I've kept the same image because it is as special to me as is the friendship we now have.
btw, I was like at 400 posts when she made it for me because I then did not have a clue how they created these images at the time.
lisag,
You just post your questions and we'll help you girl, it is fun it is rewarding you will learn and before you know it you will be in a position to help others just as you will be helped here with your new found knowledge.
Tell you what it is soooooo cool whenever you are on the boards and you see a question that you can help with (some of these questions are really easy ones too) and you just post back and say for example........
.........."I have a printer just like yours and I've learned if you do this and that it helps out quite a bit"
then the person says.........
"lisag, Thank You very much for your help I tried what you suggested and my printer works great now"
Now that "feeling" you will have once you've read that "Thank You lisag"............there is no words to describe how good you will feel having the first realization that you just helped a person out who needed just a little advice or direction about something that you either already know or will learn about here by just reading posts.
hewee,
"Like wow I need lots of MONEY"
LOL........you so funny, you know what I mean people will help you with what is is you need to find out more about here and be that PC related or Automotive.............heck you know we've fixed cars here before.
Besides I already sent you my 2 cents worth of advice (twice now) so you've been overpaid for this year as it is.
