A. Avatars are small graphical images that you may choose in your profile. They are displayed below your username on all posts that you make. You can select the image that best describes yourself from your profile options.
If you click on faq's and go down the page under User Maintaince you will find out about customizing your profile. You should click on "more infomation on Avatars, and you will see what they are. After you do this ask the next question.
Q. Wow! those are COOL! How can I get one??

In Sanskrit and all languages originating from it, The word "Avatar" means "Prophet" OR "Replica of God" OR "Special Version of himself by the God in Human form" I think, Guru Shanbaum may be the person to introduce this word and concept to make the board Tingy and Spicy. I am correct ?
To be honest with you.....
Dear Sandeep,(no insult intended by the abbreviation) To be honest with you, I came into this format of Optiboard as one of a small group who were asked to play with it before being released to the entire board.That was in late Feburary or early March as I recall.This was my first exposure to the word Avatar.I had no idea what it meant or where it came from.I am sure it had something to do with the features of program, which Steve would be able to answer better than I.Guru Shanbaum was a tester as well as I so I don't think he had anything to do with Avatars before the rest of us.At any rate, to make a long story longer, when it came time to set up the Q&A forum, I thought the simplest way to explain it was to ask the same question I asked when I first saw it.Thanks for giving us the sandskrit version, I was almost sure it wasn't Latin!:) best from harry j

Harry,be happy. You have not abbrivated. My first name is Sandeep means "Lamp of Sun"
My Last name, our surname is Godbole means God= Sweet
Bole= the one who talks. By mistake I had put it as goodbole instead of godbole but it's sound ing better.. so I contineued with it.
Avtar also has colloquial meaning here as to adapt different faces to Camaflauge. Today I am going for a weeks pleasure tour with families of 2 friends. I started to feel missing all of you right now!!
I am addicted to the Board!
