I would like to start a thread where people can submit photos of themselves. This seems important to me as I would like to see if I might recognize someone at a coin show or auction. Also, I might not bid as high on something if another CoinTalk member is bidding on the same item and that person is known for that particular type of coin. So here we go.... Sticky this if you like. Here I am. I may post a better photo, later. Oh, and I usually wear a Cincinnati Bengals ball cap.
A member's photo function is already an established part of CoinTalk. To add your own photo to your profile Click on "User CP" at the top of any page Click on "Edit Profile Picture" in the column of links at the left of the page Attach a photo of yourself. To see another member's photo Click on the member's name at the top of any of his/her posts Click on "View Profile" in the dropdown box IF the member has added a photo, it will appear at the upper right of his/her profile. IMHO using that function is a much more efficient way to view member photos than creating a thread that will either drop off the current radar screen, or become very long and difficult to navigate. I notice that the originator of this thread has chosen to put a cartoon in that spot rather than his own photo.
Me, and a couple of coin buddies that I met through coin forums like this one. Can you guess which one is Your's Truly?
Huh Aside from the fact that you were probably typing when my post went up, I don't see any disrespect in it, intended or not. My intent was not to stop people from posting in this thread, but just to offer what I believe is simply a better alternative that many members might not be aware of.
Message received, and understood. I should have known that you were sharp enough to see the times at which posts were entered. Just don't like to take too many things for granted.
Here is a older similar thread, but somehow it got into the GENERAL SECTION??? http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=22663&highlight=picture+poster
Thanks, bonedigger. I knew there had been another thread on the same topic, but I couldn't find it with keyword searches.
Anyway, Bone that link doesnt allow me permission. And rotobeast, right on with the BENGALS. I've been a loyal fan since 1967
Sorry about that, Roy. I just thought everyones pics in a sticky thread may be a valuable tool to recognize one another. I guess I will do as you suggest and click on everyones names to see if they have a pic. As far as the "cartoon", I made it as a signature but it appears that images are not allowed in the signature area. BTW... A LOT of people seem to have a cartoon in their profiles. Craig A..... WHO DEY !! I've been a fan since I can remember.
Jody. First of all I know your are a long haul trucker so that means your left arm would be out side the cab most of the time in the sun. I will give the answer of who you are later today.
Jody is the one wearing Blue Jeans a light colored shirt, has his hand up by his face, sunglasses, black shoes, black belt and a hat! Geez that was easy..
