I was thinking-alot of members on this forum love to give their "two cents" about certain topics. How about adding an icon that is maybe just a couple of coins? Not a huge thing but I need the postings to earn my DFC, and plus I thought it was a good idea...
You've got to at least bring a 'Lanc' back on two engines with the windscreen shot out to get your DFC.... Seriously, though, I like your suggestion about the icons. I love using the icons generally because I think they add an element of humour and can help to 'de-fuse' potentially, shall we say, 'confrontational' topics...
This is going to sound very weird, but I agree with Martin's idea! About the icons I say: I'm with you!
Excellent-Great minds thinking alike. Martin-I think I would prefer to walk out on the wing of a stricken 'Lanc' and put out the fires by hand. I remember the guy that did that was awarded the VC. And Yes I agree-the use of say a 'thumbs up' or a smiley face can make all the difference.
A 2 cents icon is a great idea, keep your eye on this thread for information about this: http://www.ww2forums.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000439#000000
Heres a good hint for more excellent avatars--mainly anyone in the excellent movie: Decision Before Dawn--as ALL of the uniforms and badges were originals.
Thank you Otto, and, I think I have 2-3 copies of the movie if a copy is needed to take pics from. Just let me know and i'll dig up my tapes. I dont know if it has been released on VHS or DVD yet--but if it is--im buying it on DVD.
I think the icon thing is a good idea too. Sometimes it makes the difference between an arguement and a laugh.
