For this Fun Challenge you are making an avatar/sig set for OMA. We miss her very much. Oma advised me that at this time she is not able to be involved & that is understandable. All of the entries will be available for her to use but we will have a People's Choice Award for the 3 favourite sets chosen by a poll. Rules:Avatar must be no more than 100x100 pixels. Signature must be no more than 500x200 Oma loves abstracts so we are not allowing stock images for this challenge. One entry per person. Post your entry here. Changes are permitted up to voting. You are encouraged to give constructive feedback to each other here.The challenge will be open for entries until midnight 31 March 14 April 2011 Australian Eastern Standard Time which I think is about 12 hours ahead of most of you but if it is getting close & you still have to finish, let me know & I'll hold off a bit longer. The poll will remain open for one week. You are encouraged to vote for your favourite 3 sets. Please let me know if I have forgotten to add anything or something needs to change. We are all learning together. Finally, have fun!

Here's mine. I had a blast doing this. Started out as a reflected linear gradient, gradient bars, and then I start experimenting with Dents (and the classic version as well), and start going crazy. I used a bit of Chrisco's smudging technique here.

Blackpenny's image is not showing up.
I've set up the poll but cannot get images up. Chrisco, need your help here - or anyone else that knows how.
Poll will stay up until after Easter. Please choose 1 image.
Thank you all those who sent in an entry.

It will not let me edit the poll, but can you put the img tags at the end?

Unfortunately, you can't edit the poll once you have submitted it.
In the past, I have found it easier to enter the username on one line and right next to the username, right-click on the image, copy the "Copy Image Location" and paste it to a notepad file for a minute. When that's all done, create a new poll, and enter the title of the poll, etc, etc.
On each line of the answer, enter the user name, and in the post editing place, copy and paste the image info. Repeat until done.
Then double-check everything! Click submit once it's done.

Chrisco, it wouldn't accept the tags in the insert box.
Lance, I will do that for the next one. Thanks so much for your help guys. ;D

I can only see Ventor1's image when I click on the link. Barbieq's takes me to a login page, Goonfella's says Forbidden, Lance's says it's deleted or moved, and mine is just not showing up.
I logged in to Photobucket and got this message:
Photobucket Site Maintenance

New Maintenance Update Photobucket customers,
Let me begin by once again expressing my apologies for the issues you have been experiencing, and for the delay in restoring service. We continue to work diligently to resolve the problems and would like to keep you up-to-date on how things are going. The vast majority of you that were impacted should now or very soon notice that your accounts and images are back up again. However, not every user has been restored to service; we still are working to restore less than 1% (0.25%) of our user base. If your account is still not working, please be assured that we know about it and continue to work toward fully restoring service for all users as quickly as possible. We will continue to provide updates as they occur.
We hear your frustration and appreciate all of your feedback.
Thank you,
Jim Goss VP of Operations
That explains some of it, anyway.

Oh boy! What a mess. I noticed that my avie isn't working on the main forum but it is a photo of me & the main board was down for a while too. Other than that I have not had any interruptions to the Photobucket images.
BP, you are so right about the link to the images in the poll. I am not a happy Jan at the moment. I hope that when I do the next one, it will work properly.
My sincere apologies to all for the total mess with the poll. Once the poll is posted there is nothing we can do to change it, as Lance pointed out.

Looks like they're still working on mine. I uploaded my entries to ImageShack so you can at least see them now. And it took a long time to figure it out. I'm so used to Photobucket. Barbieq, I would have no idea how to do a poll in the first place, so you're doing better than me.

The help files are not helpful at all. To get what I've got up was pretty easy. Just wanted the images up there but the darned thing would not let me. I was a bit worried too when I took this on but it's like most things - learn as you go.
It's great to see your wonderful entry up here! Such pretty colours.

About the poll images: have you put the img tags at the end of the links? Or will they fit? That is the only thing I can think of.

It would not let me, Chrisco.
Next time I will do what Lance suggested, putting them in a doc & then posting in when I have all of the tags etc.
I cannot even see where I can delete the poll. A learning curve for me.
