How do you create an Avatar?

I have a question...

How do you create an Avatar(I think that is what it is called.)? I would like to have one but I don't know how to go about it.

My apologies for sounding stupid, but everyone has to start somewhere.

you can open MS PAINT

draw one there (50 by 50 pixels)

save it
and upload it here

Thanks dimava

I have an image I would like to use but the uploading of it is a problem.

I go to the user options and then click on the button to "change Avatar" but it just sits there.

Any ideas?

goto Options at the top of this screen
then goto Edit Options
and click the Change Avitari Button
then click BROWSE... select the file
and click Submit Modifications

Thanks again, I am tryin that as we speak...

I think that it is something to do with my connection here because IE crashes each time I try to click on the "change Avatar" button. Oh well. I have sent a mesage to the management asking them what I should do.

Well it needs to be small in dimensions (50 x 50 ?), small in volume (100k I think) and either a jpeg or gif. Does that help?

the max is 20k

Hello Harry, how are you?

Unfortunately not, I have the right size file, but I can't even get that far... It crashes of freezes when it is trying to load the option after clicking on the "Change Avatar" button. I think that it is something to do with my connection.....

Damn.

Thank you dimava, Thank you very much. If I had a beer I would give it to you!

lol......too young

I think that I now have my little Avatar of a Squirrle drinking a can of Bud!

Too Young?

I'm going to be 21 in April.....

Thank you again for your help... I am young in the ways of VB Forums.
