Click on My Profile in the upper right, select My Options from that list and at the bottom there is the selection for your avatar. There are a group to choose from pre-made or you can do as I and a lot of others here do and create one of your own within the guidelines and upload it using the utility on that same page.

If you have an image of your own you want to use, you can use an editor like Irfanview www.irfanview.com which is free to resize and save your image within the acceptable range. If you need helping doing so, just ask!

Go up top to PROFILE and then once there click on EDIT PROFILE.
In the space for your signature, for an image, you need to put
[ IMG ] link to image [/ IMG ]

Dont leave spaces between the brackets and letters like i have, i just did that to show. Between the open and close IMG tags, put the link to your picture. I believe somewhere on that page is an explanation to the various tags we can use for difference stuff. Does that help?

Not sure......probably that it failed I get odd messages sometimes trying to upload files myself and the gallery has been the pits at home the last few days. Send your image to me in an email and I'll test it here myself and see if anything is up with it. need4speed@prodigy.net
