Can anybody point me to a site that can receive and host my own personal Avatars. Avarity.com is a pileof crap.

What's wrong with your present one. You look very cute and cosy

I agreed with Anh Bamboo, it looks lovely.

Try with webshots.com, I upload my avatar there with a tini tini size but don't know why I got a cross instead.

Send me it and I'll host it here on HHAD ... as long as you continue to behave yourself.

In fact anyone with over 100 posts can have their avatar hosted on HHAD.

Hi Lev

I was just looking into this - why do you have to wait for 100 posts to use an avatar?

I haven't forgotten about the T-shirt, by the by.

Just a little incentive to get our 950 quieter members posting a little more

OK, OK, sorry. Can you explain what an avatar is?

OK here we are:

Avatar (Sanskrit avatara,”descent”), in Hinduism, descent of a god into the world of human beings for the duration of a human life span. Avatar is similar to the Christian concept of incarnation but is different in two significant ways. First, a Hindu god can become incarnate in many places at the same time through “partial” avatars (amshas), while the main form from which the avatars emanate remains entirely “full” and can converse with the “partial” forms. Second, the avatars do not fully participate in human suffering or lose the knowledge and power of their divine nature. The god Vishnu is most famous for his numerous avatars, which include Krishna, Rama, and the Buddha, but other gods, such as Shiva, also have avatars. Many charismatic leaders, such as the Indian mystics Chaitanya and Ramakrishna, have been regarded as avatars.

Cool or what?

If you've nothing to contribute don't post.

Glad to see the ex-pat sense of humour is in full swing.

What do you want then Dangerous: back to beans on toast, pies and fish and chips?
