I see moving ones, rotating ones, .. how do you guy's get those fancy avatars to show up?? I have a 3.2 megapixel camara, and I just want one small still picture! Driving me nuckin futs I tell ya!! Three hours of screwing around so far, and NO avatar. Thanks for the help in advance!!

Upload your image to webshots....
Once it is there, right click on it and save to location on your computer (will be the right size) Then try using it.

http://www.webshots.com
It's a site that allows you to upload your photos to and store them. Once you upload them to the site, you are shown a thumbnail photo of the one you uploaded to them (the thumbnail size is just right to use for the avatar) Once the thumbnail is there just right click and save. Then back to the board and add it. Hope this clears it for you. There are guys out there that can resize it for you too.

Yea, I was a little puzzled by that too!! Maybe thay have all been used? I've been trying to import a picture of my truck under the custom instructions for like 9 hours now, and I'm really feeling dumb! I may have e-mailed a pic to 383 Strocker to downsize. I guess I'll see tomorrow, if the pic got to him. I used to know how to import, and attach pictures on my old computer with windows 98, but I just got this new Gateway with all the souped up options, and windows XP operating system, and it's like having to learn everything new again!!! God, I hate it when they change it all so much. First digi cam, and editing software too, so I have a lot to learn .
