advise and consent requested

[gunner]

you all may have noticed i've come up with an avatar, i'd also like to use "pagan warrior" as a sig line under my nickname over the avatar but i'd like to be sure that it's not offensive to anyone here so, as the thread title says, advise and consent please. thank you

[Mairwen]

I was going to say, Hey Gunner! I love your new avatar!! :D And the title seems to fit ~ so wear it!

(yeah, i know, i'm supposed to be in bed asleep)

Sure, why not? I've often wondered why the tales celebrating the old heroes are held in respect, but contemporary warriors are sniffed at......... ;)

Hey, If I can call myself Doc Lemonade, you can surely call yourself Pagan Warrior ... you and I fought different battles, but we still fought for what we believed and were on the same side even. I just didn't like some of the things I was asked to do as a "spook" and then later as a paralegal (yup, I was a retread); you can probably figure out what they were and don't have to ask.

BTW, The new avatar is GREAT!

[gunner]

thank you, i'm going to wait a bit for others to weigh in with their thoughts, the ava is a fairly close characiture of yours truely, the brass on the beret, if you could see it, is 2nd legion paras. given to me by an old friend who'd been a legionairre and worn now in his memory.

[Ozymandias]

From one warrior to another: go for it.

[moonmagick4]

I do not see any problem with the name Gunner!!It is all yours!!You pagan warrior you!!!!

[Kaylara]

I have no problem with either of them... In fact, I think that they are quite appropriate!

[Earth Walker]

:cool: I am a Goddess Warrioress. Go for it. :D

[rantnraven]

Can I say something here. And this is strictly coming from a Californian.

Cha! Go for it, dude. The Av is like WAY cool and the title is, like, totally awsome.

Now from ME.

No problem at all. There is no offense taken here. This community is very loving and understanding. Don your beret, your avatar and your title proudly, Brother. You have more then earned it.

Now go have some Lem..

Well, you know,
RnR

[adrian]

not a problem, wear with pride, and walk in light.

[gunner]

thank you all, it's done and lemonade for all hands. i started this thread because i do realise that some of us do have pacifist feelings and i wouldn't have wanted to create a negative atmosphere for them. part of being "a warrior" is respecting and defending others rights even though you may not completely agree with them. again, thank you for your advice and support.

Click on the profile button and then edit profile, it should be in there; it's called Custom User Text

[rantnraven]

I recall Mol sayingzsomething about having to have twenty posts before being able to change it.

Thoug, I could be wrong.

[Rævyn Cigány]

Hmmm I see it on mine ... send mol a PM with what you want for your name ... maybe he can get it fixed for you, BTW, which browser are you using?

Blue

[Rævyn Cigány]

Um...me...? I'm using a Windows IE browser (I think)....

Why, does that make a difference?

Even if you are using MS IE, it could make a diferrence even on the version that you use. While in IE, click on help the on About... This should indicate the version you are running. If it is anything less then 5.5, you might consider an upgrade. You can get it free at http://www.microsoft.com. If you have trouble finding the lastest and greatest, please let me know. I can send it to you or provide a direct link.

RnR

[bluecat]

Why didn't I think of that ... thanks RnR!

[rantnraven]

Sometime it is easier just to say "Reboot" then hang up. I'm guilty of it.

Thought you might like this one:

Was working on a PC once. I had dropped it in transit and it wouldn't work anymore. After two and a half grueling hours of part swapping, I still couldn't get it to work. I finally broke down and told the tech lead. He looked at it for a while then, turned the brightness on the monitor up and VIOLA.

Sheesh. It's the little things that get ya.

RnR

[Tanna]

it's definitely 10, cuz that's when i got mine, and bluecat's directions are on the nose. :sunny:
but i don't know anything about my computer though, so that doesn't help much, does it? :(

[Lorelei]

I'm using IE 5.5 and still no option to change my "title".Not a big problem since I haven't decided what I'd like to be! LOL

Under Tools, Internet Options select Advanced. There you will find Java VM. Make sure that the first two are checked off - there should be only three choices.

Just swinging a the bats here.

Checked and double-checked...don't have Tools,Internet Options nor Advanced anywhere

You should have some type of "menu Bar" across the top of your screen. "File Edit View Favorite Tools Help". Is that there or no. If not, you may want to go and re-load IE.

Let me know. This is curious.

RnR

[Lorelei]

LOL! I am not a 'puter teck! I thought you were talking about options here at mysticwicks,not my computer.
So,I have done as you said and checked the first two options under Java VM.
Now,what is that supposed to do for me? :)

I should have been more specific.

Try changing your Custom User Text. Click on Profile (on the MW Board) then click Edit Profile. You should be able to change the name under your Avatar.

Let me know if this work for you.

[Earth Walker]

:D Does anyone know when Dextra & Carmelo will
be back with us, partaking of lemonade and relaxing
on the comfy thingy?




I can't be overdrawn, I still have cheques left. 8O

[gunner]

i was just thinking the same thing mystique, i miss the lady

[rantnraven]

I think they should have the rest of the part this coming week.

I'm pretty sure we will KNOW when they are back.

This was a pretty big effort. But you all are the greatest.

Besides, they will need a little time to catch up on things.

Guess you should PM Mol. He can change it for you - being site god and all.

Good luck,

Lurve the new avatar and name, Gunner. Seems most appropriate to me, the Way of the Warrior being a genuine path of bravery, chilvary snf loyalty. I changed mine to something more appropriate a while ago, but I couldn't have upset anyone cause no ones yelled at me!

Re: changing your name. I'm sure Mol said to me that you had to have 100 postings before you could choose a name. Mind you, from one who can't even remember their own name, I could be wrong :bigredgri
