I like the new avatar Velogirl!

[Veronica]

I had considered using one of the Legolas photos when my old avatar mysteriously disappeared this week. My other choice was my miserable DMD picture. :p Thom picked the Sierra Rd. one.

[velogirl]

me?

[Veronica]

Yeah, it's kind of weird to see my bike as someone else's avatar. :)

V.

[velogirl]

I'm confused. my avatar is a photo of me....on my trek....not a rivendell.

[Veronica]

I don't know how this is happening. On my computer I see one of my photos as your avatar.

This one.

But on Thom's computer and I'm not logged in to TE, I see your regular avatar, which is quite nice BTW :) . My computer must be losing its mind.

Weird!

I'm confused too. I see velogirls regular avatar.

Your computer has very nice taste though, nice bike!

[Veronica]

This is what I see. Weird huh.

[velogirl]

Hitting the eggnog a little early, V?

How bizarre is that? I'd be a little miffed, too, if I thought someone had used one of my photos without permission. But it is a beautiful photo.

[Veronica]

Safeway had no egg nog today and I don't add booze to it anyway. It's weird I see the same photo in your member profile. I wonder how my computer is doing it.

That's too weird!!!
I see Velogirl's "normal" avatar too, not the Legolas picture.

(twilight zone music inserted here...)

[Veronica]

Oh and I was somewhat flattered and a tad miffed. :)

V.

[Veronica]

But you are seeing it in the shots of my computer screen right?

Veronica: How about cleaning the cache of your web browser? In Internet Explorer (I have IE 7), this should be under Tools > Internet Options > "Browsing history". And in Firefox (version 2), it would be under Tools > Clear Private Data. My guess is that you must have a picture of the Legolas with the same name as the picture for Velogirl's avatar... (you could also try a second web browser to see if this is true, unless you set the folder for temporary items to be the same).

[SadieKate]

That is just weird. WEIRD!

[mimitabby]

yes, clear cache and reboot!

[Veronica]

What I don't understand is how the photo could have gotten there in the first place. I don't think I've ever posted that one to TE and I KNOW I have never resized it to be avatar size.

It makes a cool avatar though.

My best guess is that it is due to your post about the pictures (or browsing the site where you uploaded them) and the fact that the avatar pictures are "sized" in the forum. If you view the source code for a forum page, avatar pictures are displayed with specific heights and widths ("width="52" height="100").

Anyway, that Legolas is so beautiful.

[Bikingmomof3]

How very odd. Yes, your riv is her avatar on your screen. Very odd indeed.

[jobob]

Wow, that's bizzare.

I'm glad you posted the screenshots, for a moment there I thought you were going senile on us, V.

But heck, you won't be old enough for that for another week :D

- ducking & running

[velogirl]

If I were clever (and if I had time), I'd PM everyone and get them all to change their avatars to the Legolas without tell you, Veronica -- just for kicks! But I'm too busy right now so you'll just have to pretend we all did it and freak out or something....

:)

[Veronica]

That would be funny. I was beginning to wonder if I was becoming too self absorbed - seeing myself or my bikes everywhere. :D

V.

[Veronica]

Now where did I leave my bike? Where are my keys? Do I need to buy peas?


;)
