Simmo's missing avatar

[simmo123]

Hi folks i have noticed that Ole Simmo's Avatar has gone AWOL or as we call it "gone walkabout",i'm not to sure of the reasons but hopefully it is none of the following...
1...Exceeded the allowed forum age limit
2...Threatening to put another recording on the members stage
3...exhibiting to much flesh on recent Avatar picture in a way that may be deemed offensive to minors.
4... Simmo stuffed up bigtime & deleted it himself (my favorite)....
I would be grateful for some guidance in this matter so that i can make the necessary changes...firstly change my birth date as in 1939 who would have known or even cared...secondly sign a statuary declaration promising never to put another of my recordings on the members stage...3rd..doctor the pictures & purchase a hairpiece...& lastly send John G a return airfare to Australia so as to get up to speed on the computer with he's guidance.....Simmo..still .looking for he's lost Avatar
ps..latest update in the busking...on Saturday morning in my usual spot opposite the fresh fruit & veggie market i was about an hour into my set when i got cleaned up by some crazy woman speeding through the mall on her gopher,when she hit my gear i saw her taking off with my music stand including book, song list etc hanging off the back of her gopher,with luck on my side no other damage happened even though it pulled a couple of leads from my amp,she came back most apologetic & promptly put some cash in my guitar case,i did feel for the dear old lady & explained to her that i do sometimes have that effect on the opposite sex,

Hi Terry,

None of the above!
If you read the message it says that you have violated the terms of use of ImageShack and consequently they have erased the image.

I suspect that was because you were using a full size picture as an avatar. That means many tens of kilobytes downloaded from them each time it's displayed instead of the few kilobytes that an avatar should be. If you go to your profile and try to modify it you will see that the recommended maximum is 100x100 pixels. Mine is just 80x100.

I'll take a couple of your piccies and reduce them to the correct size and post them to you. Then you will need to send them to ImageShack and put the link back into your Hangout profile as you did before.

There's a new bit of Aussie slang I didn't know, a 'gopher'. I'm imagining an electric four wheel buggy with go-faster stripes painted down the sides and a 500cc supercharged lawnmower motor in it?

I'm very interested in the paid fare though.
I take it you've not been affected by the fires? I've been meaning to ring but the knew adult education school term began this week and I've got my knickers in a twist as usual. Ouch, cor that stings!

All the best,
JohnG, and all the best from Susanne, WAH today, to Patricia too.
