you can use any picture as an avatar, providing you resize it correctly.

Tried this before but I couldn't manage to get down small enough. What would be the best way to do this?

I usually open the picture in MS Paint, and then resize it. there's probably a slicker way of doing it, but it works.

Can I suggest using a free graphics editor called Infranview, it works well, has plenty of options and will allow you to resize and change the colour depth ofpictures reasonably easily.

Thanks for the tip CJ, I actually downloaded this already to view some file or other. Can't say I've ever really used it :oops:

If I were you I'd go with a pic of your car, saying that I used this one before and quiet liked it... might need to be reduced though.
