You can always cheer for the clown.
It is so great to have more to race with. What fun it will be.

CL and Wither, I'm sorry, I don't have administrator's privileges to go into anyone's profile but my own. That's why I posted the code you need so YOU can do it. The hard part is already done - getting it in the gallery. The rest is easy once you do it you will remember forever.

this is the link to the complete instructions, but what you need to know is excerpted below

------------------
Here is the text string (aka URL) for using the pink caboose as your picture avatar. Notice it starts with "http:" and ends with ".jpg"
http://boards.letsdolunch.com/boards/gallery/3114_08_04_10_11_33_10.jpg
I had to take a picture to show you what the text string looks like for you to post the caboose in a message or in your signature line:
Notice the only difference between the two is the URL code in brackets at the beginning and the end are NOT needed for the avatar, but you will have to carefully type them in as illustrated (including the / in the closing one) for posting the caboose in the signature line.
Now to get started posting --
First you highlight the text string for the caboose (above in blue). Then right click and choose "copy". It goes onto an invisible clipboard.
To open & edit your profile, click on your screen name, or on "PROFILE" in the dark blue band above this message window to the left.
Look for "Modify Profile" in the menu on the left and click on "Forum Profile Information". That's where the signature box is where you paste the BB code for your ticker and your personal messages (delete any text from inside the white box first).
You can right click and paste the URL for the caboose in here, too. (see below - I put it in mine temporarily to make sure it will work.)
AVATARS: Your profile information page is also where you can post your picture avatar:
Highlight & Copy the caboose text string without the [url] codes
Go into your profile and post the entire http: text string into the white text box to the right of where it says "I have my own picture", and VOILA`! You have a new profile picture! You should see it pop into the profile immediately.
After you're finished, scroll down to the bottom right & click the "Change profile" button to save the changes.

Don't make yourself crazy over this. Let me know if you don't get it right away and I'll PM you my telephone number so I can talk you through it. Seriously, glad to do it.
