No - I've just changed it.

What about handles - names?

Mine's obvious - I live in Jimena.

Actually - I wish I could change it. Looking up the 'meaning' of Jimena which is a common enough girl's name, I find that it is the femail version of Jimeno which is itself a Spanish form of Simon - which is my name. I'd change it to Jimeno if I could...

You can,(I think??) just put in a request to the forum owner Expat Forum For Expats, For Moving Overseas And For Jobs Abroad - Contact Us

My forum name is obvious! My nick name in the family as a child was "jojo"

Sorry, forgot where I was for a minute.

Perhaps Mary the Axe Wielder (cutting everyone down to size ??)

I wouldn't mind changing mine to something a bit more zappy too. We could all change at the same time hehehe.

Ok, please don't hate me....but for some reason I've always (mis)read it as mrspyg.

I think I sort of thought something like pygmy, as in the little pigs (pyg).

I promise, this thought came and stuck in my warped mind long before I "knew" you. I do not think it appropriate but if you really want something to reflect your "argumentative, pessimistic nature".......

Please, please forgive me.

Hahahaha

That's better than what I thought of Thrax!!!


And there is NO forgiveness on this forum, so get ready for the axe !!!

Hahahaha

I wouldn't need to waste more time either wondering how to make myself a little piccie thing!

Google 'free avatars' and take your pick (just don't click on any of the jingly adverts they have in most of those places).
Download to your PC, upload to your profile and job done.

If you prefer a pic of you or a picture you have taken, load it into some sort of photo editing program (or Microsoft 'paint' will do if you have nothing else).
Select the part of the pic you want to use and cut it to size - usually a square - save it as a jpg or gif (although bmp might also work on here).

If the picture is a bit large - 80x80 or 100x100 works best - make a copy in one of those sizes, sharpen it to prevent loss of definition, and save and upload as before.
