forum avatars

Post by bobbydarg »

i noticed that there is a shortage of avatars at the bottom of the members posts, is there something wrong. i know the ones i was using have been disabled due to the site being taken off line. do any of the members know a good site to get a replacement ?

Not really an Avatar Robert. More a signature image, (see my signature) best to keep these on the small side as they can be a bit overwhelming.

The guidelines have now been updated. They can be read here. Note Image signatures.

Go to Shrinkpictures at : http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ on the landing page click "Create Avatar" on the left. Size must not be more than 90 x 90 pixels. :wink:

Hi Little Plum,
I'm going out to Probus in a minute. If you'd like me to resize something for you on my software, send it to me : hugh.mccallum@threetowners.com I'll get it back to you by the time you wake in the morning - it's just before 10am here in Oz. If anyone else has an image they'd like made into avatar size you are welcome to do the same.

You've got an Avatar now Maggie T. Have a look at your profile or one of your posts and tell me if that's suitable - don't recall if anyone has already picked that one.

You're now part of the red hat brigade. I'll need to turn you round though, your facing the wrong way. :wink:
