Gday guys, Ive got the photos on ' bucket " now sorted Thanks Pete , but how do I shrink a pic small enough to work as an avatar ? Ive shrunk a pic down to like 18kb but it keeps telling me the pic is I think too many pixels or too wide, is there a simple way to make a pic shrink enough to fit in the avatar, the other forum I visit for trailbikes does it automaticly for you when you upload a pic for an avatar. cheers

Classic avatar Russ - it's not often that you can actually sit and watch an avatar for a while (well, not since we lost all of the spinning Prados)

"Stretch/Scew" feature of microsoft paint is always a quick one to to knock it down a little... keep shrinking by small amounts until the magic size is hit...

In celebration of the next big milestone ... it's time to return to the classic spinning avatar ... not too fast to make everyone dizzy ... not too many pictures.

Just a nice classic spinna .. like Drew's mountain top spinna.

There ya go lads ... you can go off to bed now :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lucky you cropped that photo, mate (and folded things up neatly above it, so as not to dangle into view)! :shock:
