USING THE NEW FORUMS
My new Avatar is a replica of the warrior chieftan's helmet from the Sutton Hoo collection and therefore Anglo-Saxon.
I know they were into snakes as decorative motifs, but I can assure you there is no connection with my strange hieroglyph.
At the time of 'glyphing' I think I still had my old Vulcan B1 avatar.
what happened to the filter post so i can view the ones i have responded to, rather than have to search pages. also i have to disable rich text everytime i have to post. and the post reply box seems slow to respond, its not my computer
Bi bi bio bit!
Hi JD, you know you sorted The_Lhc's name out with capitals, could you change mine too "Thegelman", i still want to be called Gel but more as a nickname, with my full name as Thegelman. Just wanted a full-length name. People can still refer to me as Gel or Thegelman whatever you prefer. 
Cheers JD 
I believe I will use "Thegelman".
Done, with a minor amendment to make sure no-one thinks you're a Mr T Hegelman, Artist Formerly Known As Gel.
I think I prefer Thegelman - sounds like we have a Broadway producer in our midst...
For shame! That would have been much funnier...

cheers mate.

Cheers Andrew, but i would like "Thegelman" not TheGelMan, i don't mind if they think its something else. I don't like all those capitals, makes it stand out big time - on my name. Also there is another reason i have changed it, i could not use gel on another website and i just want the keep it the same. I use Thegelman with my gel avatar on another website because gel would not work - (i think i know why because someone else might have used it) or you might just have to have alot of letters - not entirely sure.
If you could just change it too Thegelman, that would be great, cheers mate.

Cheers JD , i think it is more friendly too, gel i think can be abit blunt but Thegelman i definitely think has a friendly nature too it. Like i say know gel is stil great, if people want too use it still, does not bother me in the slighest which one people call me.
Cheers

Cheers Andrew i could not log in there for a while. i think i am okay now though.
Cheers mate.
Yep that is brilliant, i am working fine and it has a balanced feel about it. Many thanks. i also had it as gel last time, so it has the same look to it there. Cheers.
No problem, Mr Hegelman.

Odd, I think Gel is more informal and friendly, Thegelman is clunky and official sounding.
You do know we're not pronouncing it The Gel Man though don't you?
Definitely one of your more enigmatic posts, Chebby! Care to elaborate, or is this merely a glitch thrown up by amendments to the forum?
I don't remember.
Maybe it's an hieroglyph for four snakes looking over a wall.
Nope. Dunno.
Fair enough.
I thought it might be somehow related to your avatar.
Since I wouldn't question your powers of recall, I'm guessing it's the product of a system bug. There's perhaps a wealth of insight locked inside that symbol...
