OK, you're not going to be able to save your avatar to the server for awhile.

If you want an Avatar picture, you have to find an external host -- photobucket, picturetrail, etc., and link to it from there.

icons are prolly cached in local browsers

the ones that were linked to the old server directory are prolly gone from there

a re upload to this site locale is prolly in order

my avatar is linked to my image database on uploadit.org, so its still happy linking to there from here

Nope, don't see Tallpine's or Scout's avatar. I see mine and a few other folks' - Heir to Fistful, Jamis, Fitzer...

So Fistful will end up like A Canticle for Leibowitz......

I don't allow my browser to save a cache, and I can't see lots of people's avatars either. Can't see mine as well, and I'm hosting it off site.

Ah, thanks for the tip.

I see what was going wrong now....I was using the "email and IM" link Photobucket creates rather than the direct link....whoops.

I can't wait to see how many people don't change their user names back before the feature gets locked out. The mods here are gonna make a LOT of money in our new name-fixing business.

Yes. Except for the last SoT book. Really, really crappy ending to an otherwise awesome series.

I do not see his avatar on my end.

All I see is a Red X (though I'm not looking at your "end"

)

Never had much desire to change my user name and confuse everyone, though some of the following might be fun and/or appropriate:

SkinnyPine

MyRealName

Eachann (Gaelic for Hector or "horseman")

BrokenRib :rolleyes:

I lost interest on the book (4th or 5th in the series I think) that was written primarily from a perspective other than Richard and Kahlan's. Wizard's First Rule was one of the best books I've ever read, but he never reached that level again after.

I don't have a problem with it. Just pointing out the disconnect that might occur as people reference "Fistful"...

I suppose it is my fault that people are still calling me fistful, even though I have changed my name.

Or maybe I could blame fistful for it.

Some super mod will have to come along and dump this Full pant load.

I thought it was kinda funny actually.

AZRedhawk44 · « **Reply #43 on:** October 08, 2008, 06:50:06 PM »

Goodkind struck me as the Ayn Rand wannabe of fantasy. I liked the series through Faith of the Fallen, and set it aside for awhile. I saw your Koloblicin reference for your image host path and laughed.

I took awhile off from that series after FotF... the following book or two put me to sleep. I just started back in a week or two ago though.

I just finished Chainfire which was okay, and I'm starting in to Phantom now. I picked up the last book on impulse in paperback format the other day. No spoilers please!

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #44 on:** October 08, 2008, 09:48:59 PM »

Ya know, I was thinking about changing back to fistful the squinty cowboy, but since it seems to annoy sedition hammer/txgho1911, I am just going to stay with Mr. Tactical pants.

Gewehr98 · « **Reply #45 on:** October 08, 2008, 10:07:43 PM »

I, for one, will continue to address him or refer to him as Fistful. Maybe Fistful the Fickle, but Fistful nonetheless.

yesitsloaded · « **Reply #46 on:** October 08, 2008, 10:10:45 PM »

Mr. Tactical Pants is but a mere pretender to the throne of the Fistful.

My problem is I forget who everyone was before they changed their name.
I have no CLUE as to Paddy's original name, or this guy who posted before me.

Yeah, after FotF the quality really fell off. Chainfire was a bit better, almost as good as the some of the earlier ones. Phantom was about the so-so. The last book felt rushed, and a lot of loose ends were left untied. Goodkind also started to rely heavily on deus ex machina, particularly in the eighth book and in the last book, which really annoys me.

Wizard's First Rule and The Stone of Tears are still two of my favorite books, though.

Paddy was RileyMC.

I have no idea who heir was, though; the avatar is new, so I can't use that as a clue, and the name doesn't seem to be anywhere near what it was before fistful stole all of our base.
