    You know ive checked google, and i havnt really found something i liked.

    I had a cool looking one i made with photoshop. It was a steak floating in flames. It looked really cool, but no matter what i did i could not get it under 8000bytes. (i think that is what it was)

    save it as like jpg or something or another file type. sometimes the file type will make it smaller.

    I made my first avatar from a wallpaper I made, then Wenchie animated it for me :D The one I have now is from some video's of the KodoBash that Goldfish put together :)

    hmm, try making it a bit smaller. i mean, there isn't that much detail to see in a steak on fire.

    What application are you using for the conversion/size reduction? If it wasn't IrfanView you might want to download IrfanView and try it with that. You might also want to save the avatar as a "png" file instead of jpg or gif and take a look at IV's color reduction methods.

    LOL No problem man... vBulletin is picky like that. It'll output png thumbnails as long as you have the right compression and image modules compiled into php, but uploading them is another story. More or less the same deal with jpg, but not so much. Glad it worked out for ya :D

    I'm using one a friend made that was resized from a MUCH larger image found at www.margaritaville.com. I would use the newer one that I made from the same image, but MG only allows a miniscule avatar, so I stuck with this one.

    Do you think it would be possible to have my avatar act like it had jaws that where moving up and down? I think it would look really cool!
