LOL, I would also like to know! I had a couple of suitable images, but I had to squeeze them down to a tiny size, 3mb or something, and I hit a glass floor at 4mb. However much I shrank an image, it could only be exported at a minimum of 4mb.

Sad

right ive had a nosey, and a good site i can find is :-

http://www.entity.cc/free-avatars.php

if you go through them and just make sure th MAXIMUM size is 3KB and no bigger than 80x80 pixels,

once you have found one you like, you can either d/l to your machine, ad then upload to forum from your hardrive

there are a number of avatar websites, just type in google ''free forum avatars'' and see what comes up

just remember the maximum sizes you are alloed is 3KB's 80x80 pixels

as u can see i have found a new avatar.

i dont know why ,the forum max size is 80x80 x3kb as these are very hard to find avatars under these values,
but you can use this website also and just go though all the avatars till you find one to suit the forum

Crabbs-

This pic is ok for your "sig" at the bottom, but too big for the "avatar" under your name...


Just use the Img function and put it in with your sig- Glad I could help...

Here is the image address you use:
