About the millionth time this question has been asked...

I am tired of not having a custom avatar, it's so anonymous using the defaults. How do I implement this?

Thanks!

You find an avatar 7k or less
you mail it to scott at [email protected]
you make the appropriate grovelling noises and about a week later your profile will show the ability to load a custom avatar....

Send your avatar with your member number to [email protected]

For appropriate size, I'd go with 100x100 pixels maximum.

Are there any copyright infringments about this? Could I send a transformers logo or Tron logo? Or does it have to be something custom? I can't remember seeing any avatars that weren't too custom if you know what I mean. Willy Paycheck

Did the issue of spaces or underscores in user names ever get resolved?

Last I heard, it was still not possible to get set up with an avatar in those instances.

yeah, 100X100 max, that's what scott told me. I gotta shrink mine sometime...

Hmmm, there are some poeple who's avatar is larger than 100x100, how did this happen?

Directed with utmost respect to those whose avatars are jumbo sized.

I have no idea, but that is just plain unfair.

Mine is 125 by 77 pixels, which overall is 9625, less than the 10000 that 100 x 100 gives you.

Of course, by that logic, an avatar 1 pixel wide by 9999 long would be acceptable... :D :D :D

If your avatar is too big in the file size dept, run it through <a href="http://www.boxtopsoft.com/supergif.html" target="_blank">SuperGIF</a>. It knocked the size of my animated avatar down by 60%.
