I like the Fender avatars, but with more and more people, they have less significance. I like the idea of having your own and being recognized for it.

:idea: If requests are considered - I'd like to see a nice Cyber-Twin SE and an AV Jaguar avatar added to the selections. Maybe an AV Jazzmaster too.

I change around on my guitars, but my amp remains constant with my CT SE.
At least until Fender comes out with a better version of the Cyber-Twin (if that's somehow even possible)

I like the idea of the Fender Only avatars. Your own personal ones may get out of hand. But I strongly agree with more avatars to choose from. For instance, I'm left-handed and there is only one left-hand(guitar) to choose from. Sorry Chet. :oops: Maybe a couple more "lefty" avatars?

I couldn't find one that I thought represented me. That's why a guy who calls himself "stratmansteve" has a Jazzmaster for an avatar.

*organ swell* so we all wait wih baited breath in anticipation *organ* will we get to design our own look? We'll be right back after these commercials from your fine Fender products!

I'll cast a vote for custom avatars! Here here!
'Til then I can't even figger out how to add a Fender avatar to my profile. Could someone pleez enlighten me?
Oh yeah, also how to add a signature and view posts. Y'know - all those forum things. Don't see these features on "my profile" page. S'gotta be the simplest thing!!

Thanx in advance! 8) peace, -Ryco <%+

well, before, I agreed that there should be custom ones, but now, I have seen someone with the same one as me, this disappoints me because I was the only one with it...
There should at least be more than what there is...

Well, we tried to get some avatars with women and guitars, or just women but that didn't work... :D It was just a big joke anyway.
IMO the avatar base should just be expanded, Fender has tons of equipment so I think that shouldn't be a problem.

Much like the restricted hours that we've been opening up over time, the lack of custom avatars was primarily motivated by the fact that I wanted to give the forums a good year or so to really gain some legs before introducing items like this that individuals are no doubt going to be occasionally abusing. In other words: right now if someone posts a grossly inappropriate pornographic avatar (and I guarantee it'll happen) I'm increasingly confident that such incident will not threaten the forums' overall livelihood. At forum launch just over a year ago, though? I didn't have that level of confidence.

Anyway, feel free to keep talking as this thread has some good input thus far ... At this point it's inevitable that there'll be some changes made in regards to avatar but I've not yet firmly decided what, when, or how.

Click on your name at the top of the page and scroll down until you find what you're looking for. The avatar section is at the very bottom.

it does get confusing seeing three different people with the same avatar. when i read sombody's post and they have a lefty strat for an avatar i usually think chet but sometimes im wrong.
