it didn't work. Thanks though

I can't understand why this site can't accomodate pic on avatars as most other sites do. It's seem easier enough for other sites!

This is NPF.
It should be that way. By default.
Rock on!

But to be completely honest with you - I am VERY dissapointed you're not a woman. With nice round ...face.
Ahh well...
Welcome. Have fun.

If you have Windows XP then you can install one of Windows Power Tools,"image resizer" from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Down ... rtoys.mspx which works brilliantly at reducing image size with just a couple of clicks. After that you should be able to use that avatar creator :)

I tried that. But it was still too big.

I've just seen I can use a default. I'm throwing the towel in for now with my attempts to upload a pic.
