My Bad!

bajaking76 - 2-10-2011 at 10:34 AM

Apparently I have offended a few people for the use of an avatar...My apologies...I did not know...will be more careful in the future. :coolup:

BigOly - 2-10-2011 at 10:57 AM

I didn't notice anything, what did you do?

BigOly - 2-10-2011 at 11:07 AM

and by the way, now that I'm not a Newbie anymore I still can't get an avatar photo to load here. How did you do it?

bajaking76 - 2-10-2011 at 11:08 AM

unknowingly I used another nomads avatar....damn Google!

bajamedic - 2-10-2011 at 11:14 AM

Now when I am missing baja, I can just stare at the one you have now, thanks. JH

Had the same problem...I changed the picture size to match the requirements here. I uploaded the picture to Flickr...did not work even when I used all their links. I ended up emailing the picture back to me, through flicker and then in the email body right-clicking on the picture and selected properties then I copied and pasted the address (URL) to the avatar section...

I don't think Mike would have minded a bit. He'd be the first one to buy you a cold Pacifico.

If Mike = Amopescar then yes, he did take offence...:bounce:

:o:o Oh well........Maybe you should have had a foto of a six-pak.
Good of you to comply when asked.

That's right!

mulegemichae sooooo right with the statement.

Hell...look at me.... a picture perfect sort of guy....and the still find fault with me ;)

AmoPescar - 2-10-2011 at 02:20 PM

YES...I was not happy that he used my avatar.

I created it myself using an art program. I think we should all have our own exclusive avatars, just as we all have our own unique Baja monikers.

Thank You bajaking for removing it!


Amopescar/Miguelamo/Mike ;)

DENNIS - 2-10-2011 at 02:27 PM

I had forgotten the details. All I remembered was the beer bottle. Makes me thirsty just thinking about it.

Bajatripper - 2-10-2011 at 04:17 PM

I could see getting peeved over being ripped off on that avatar. Heck, I know I'm not smart enough to even begin the process of posting my own avatar, so I'm doubly impressed.

And hats off to you, too, bajaking, for recognizing your error and apologizing, especially doing so publicly. Shows a lot of class.

Skipjack Joe - 2-10-2011 at 08:37 PM

I think our avatars should be mug shots of ourselves. Recent ones.

Santiago - 2-10-2011 at 10:15 PM

OK, OK, jeezo - I was only trying to point out that a lot of folks just identify the poster by the avatar and when I saw Amo's being used I thought others might be doing the same double take. And in this case, it really is a pretty cool one and of course, Amo and his avatar go back to the the days when Thursday night was a pretty big deal what with the week's fishing report getting posted and all. Now you could check in once a month and stay current....

Paulina - 2-10-2011 at 10:26 PM

Bajaking,

Your avatar of Isla de Caballo is a good one. Makes me feel at home.

Santiago, I remember those Thursday nights.

And regarding poster i.d., I guess one could much more easily identify me by my (newest) avatar as compared to my previous one (dead donkey heads).

A simple mistake Bajaking. Not a big deal.

Took me a while with the avatar and to post, and then to post multiple pics. I added brain cells for sure. Download Photobucket and go back to Nomad instructions and requirements.

MY CURRENT MUG SHOT/AVATAR

Skipjack Joe said he thought our avatars should be recent mug shots of ourselves. SO...I've temporarily changed mine to reflect my current appearance.

I will be switching back to my Pacifico Bottle, so don't get any ideas about it!!

Miguelamo :yes: :smug: :light: :no:
