ok, I'm computer illiterate so can someone explain to me in retard terms how to make + put on an avy?

-thanks

Go to your profile,and under all the the preferences it says load avatar from/machine/URL/off site avatar.Click on either the browse button to get one off your machine or get a URL link for one.

But the picture you upload must be small,so get a small picture off the net or get one fo your own and shrink it in paint.Shrinking the size in paint is the easyest way i know of,so upload a pic in paint and go to image and go strech/skew and make them small go to about 5% by 5% for an avator i would say.

it keeps saying I'm excedding the kb's? is this too large?



p.s it was the first avy that looked decent to me

Well according to recently contacted PCGUY, the upload limit is 10KB. Your image is 20.64 KB's. I notice that you saved it as a '.png'. This discussed image type typically consumes a lot of memory when used to 'save' images with a array of colors. I typically only save pictures with the 16 or so MSPaint pictures with .png. Id suggest you resave the image with either a '.gif' or '.jpeg' file type.

.gif's and .png's are about the same. Personally I like .png's for web design. I am at work right now so I can't see the image, however in your profile you can link to off-topic signatures that are larger.

Just put the direct link to the image in your profile for your avatar.

Also pyromanic13, I am moving this thread. I want to ensure you get an email from the forum saying that I moved it. Please let me know via reply to this thread or PM/IM.
