Avatars are those little pics under you name, like the one underneath mine
<------
As with most forums, this one requires the file to be smaller 49Kb and the longest side to be 81 pixels...
The file needs to be hosted elsewhere just like the photos in your reports. I use http://photobucket.com/ but there are any number of free hosing sites...
The best thing to do is open photo you would like to use in any program that allows image editing, such as Irfanview or ACDsee, and crop everything that you can to make the size as small and square as possible... Then resize the image to exactly 80 pixels across the longest side (most programs let you choose between cm, in, and pixels)...
save it as 'avatar GT' or something, then upload it to your hosting site...
Photobucket even tells you the 'URL' (unique reference location) so then all you need to do is copy that, and paste it in the box in the 'avatar control panel' at the bottom of your profile page... easy as...
You can get real smart and post 'flash' files that have some basic animation and stuff if you like...
I think that avatars liven things up a bit, especially when smart@rses start finding good one...
I expect STJ to change is weekly with his Auto Signature...
Cheers,
Daewoo
