I just want to say how amazing some of the Avatar's are that are used on the Forums. Maybe if more people were to use them, we could have a contest for the best Avatar down the road?

How did you get your "Mondo sized" Avatar, Steve?

By the way, do you recognize where mine is from?

Excuse me for being ignorant, but exactly what is "avatar"?

The "avatar" is little picture next to our screen name in our posts. Steve's is a picture of the Las Vegas Strip at night with his name on it. Mine (for now) is a picture of a rotating sign (of A-K, Big Slick) at (I think) the Las Vegas Club downtown.

Actually Hunter created mine from a Tag someone made me.

Im on webtv and had trouble downloading a screengrab from Vegas Vacation. I clicked on the camera icon but it said it was too big to download.

I'm not Hunter, but, I just chose a picture I wanted, and resized it to fit. On the User CP page, where you add an avatar, you can browse your own computer, and insert your own picture.

Hope this helps!

I am trying to see if I now have an Avatar. These are my "hairy children" Bela and Mick. They make our life a lot more fun!!!

Oh,I would like to have mine shown, but I must admit it is not in good taste. Several years ago Don Rickle coined the phrase,"You Hockey Puck" which translate into,"A horse behind". I deserved it , since I drove in to Lost Wages with a $50,000 car and came home in a $250,000.00...(greyhound bus:)

The key to successful avatar bliss is to follow the instructions/specifications closely.

The image sizes and formats are not a suggestion, they are requirements.

If you have a digital camera, the software that came with it should allow you to re-size images to meet these specs. On the Mac, Apple's iPhoto does the trick and on Windows, Google's Picasa can get it done.
