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?

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?

It's just the direct link,

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

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?
