AVATAR???

[biglamb]

so whats the best site to get a good avatar from?

[teamster1975]

Depends what you want really! I had one my bro designed and uploaded it to my web-space; probably best to take a copy of whatever you're going to use and store it yourself so you don't end up with a dead avatar!

I dunno, I think most of ours are home-made. What's wrong with the lamb?

[teamster1975]

I've always like yours Steve
Who is that wind swept bloke anyway?

[DaiRees]

Yeah use the lamb, Lamby

My "having a Colombo" avatar? Couldn't resist it after all that.

It can't be me anyway, way, waaay too much hair <--- about right too

Funny you should say that, I thought it looked like a cross between Keith Floyd and Peter Falk

[biglamb]

i wanna use the lamb i like the lamb, but it just wont work in the avatar section. when i copy the photobucket link onto the edit avatar page on her, it just leaves me with a cross and the text user avatar. But it works ok on the signiture. Id like a custom, cartoon one of a really fat lamb looking funny, what do you guys thinnk? can you get them custom made?

[DaiRees]

You're doing something wrong surely? It should work.....

[DaiRees]

Yup, works for me, now excuse me while I change it back, being Welsh I can't risk having that as my avatar....

[biglamb]

theif!!! how did you do it then? wich photo bucket link do you use?

[DaiRees]

Phew that's better!

It's just the direct link,

No IMG tags or anything, just paste it into the "link off-site" box.

Thanks man, that does seem to work, but it is poo quality, but then so is my signature too. ill have to sort that out now awell. Cheers

It's 'cos you've resized it. Th original lamb in your sig is 75 X 75 pixels, but in the avatar it's 100 X 100, resize it to 75 X 75 and it'll look better.

To do that go to change the avatar again, paste the link into the box again but this time enter the size as 75 X 75, that'll do it!

As for the photo of the car in your sig, what program did you use to resize it?

Looks good to me lamby!
