Anyone know how to make the little symbol that means Degrees on the computer? I have no idea but I'm thinking it should be possible somehow right?

Hold the Alt button and type 167...
Alt + 167

That is kind of funny; they are actually two different symbols that are just very similar.
º° I don't know which one it should be

Yeah, one's fahrenheit and one's celcius!

HINT: The Canadian used the Celcius one!
I do know for a fact that ALT 2 4 8 is definitely a degree symbol.

Here is another dumb question. How do I import an image into my profile so I can get rid of my blank avatar?

Not a dumb question, it should be a FAQ or something (maybe it already is).
Basic rules: 200 posts for a 'small' avatar, and 500 posts for a 'large' one. You can import your own image or PM NC43Hog about it.
