Avatars?

[Blobster]

I'm a bit of a computer luddite. Where can I find, and how do I create, an avatar?

Any picture you have stored on your pc.
Shrink it down to the required size then go into your profile and click on "upload" it will then let you search your pc for the pic, select it and hit submit. Job done!

[Blobster]

Thanks.
I was with you right up until "shrink it down to size."
How is that done?

When you open the pic on your pc, depending what software you have, you'll be able to resize the picture from one of the options in the tool bar.
I think it needs to be 60x60 and no more than 20Kb but I'll go check.

my dad did it all for me

110x110 and no more than 20Kb.

Thanks to Jaycee for the idiot proof instructions.

It's taken me a while but at last I'm avatar enabled. Best pic I could find of myself.

LOL!
I thought you'd given up on it!

[Blobster]

No. Just a bit dim.

It's a good picture, well it made me laugh anyway!

If you need some more go to www.google.co.uk and type it the name of the person or picture you want, then click on "images". Save the ones you want. Most of them will be the correct size an d won't need adjusting.
