OK guys, now that I'm no longer ticker challenged, where do you go to get the pics below your screen name?

There was a recent forum post on Avatars...I just did mine. You can search avatar to find the thread. I used this site that was mentioned and shrunk down a photo of my husband and I at Woody's. It took me a couple of tries (I didn't read the directions all the way www.shrinkpictures.com

Good luck!

I found mine on photobucket.com. You can search for a particular avatar theme, or use your own picture.

Thanks to you both! I'll get busy.

I noticed that some people have nice big avatars (like pjayer). But when I entered the information to link to my avatar picture, the site kept giving me an error until I shrunk it down to 50x50 pixels.

Anyone know the secret to a big avatar? (OMG, that sounds wrong somehow, like all those spam emails with the secret to a big... something else.) Anyway, I await your wisdom.

They aren't supposed to be big - but the system does sometimes allow some over the 50 X 50 limit. I don't know why. I would prefer if everyone kept to the guidelines though.

Anthony - Can I resize mine or do I need to pick another avatar? I found it at photobucket. Thanks.

I am not that much of a curmudgeon (but I am working on it!)

Anthony - You're so nice. I would have been willing to lose some extra pixels and KBs for you, though. I probably do need to slim down a bit. But, I do love my avatar. Thanks!
