This is such a noob thing to do, but can someone please post some links on how I can make a handle and have a picture on the forum? Right now I'm like the freaking dark knight. I don't think anybody even reads my posts because there's no flashy junk around 'em.

I just have trouble converting images into something the website will accept. They're either too large or wrong file type or too ugly. I'm a techno-peasant. Help me please.

Look up a picture, load it up into the GIMP, scale it to 100x100 pixels jpeg, upload it at www.imageshack.us and go to profile, link to offsite avatar: http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/8905/avatar2063.jpg for example.

Irfanview is another decent, low-key photo-editing software. Gimp can get a little complicated. >.> At least, it does for me.

Photobucket is a nice website to deposit the images too.
Worse comes to worse, you can always edit them in MS Paint

You can always ask for assistance for someone to do it for you, if you've found an image you like.

Err, make sure your image isn't to big.

Which part of the pic are you interested in using as the avatar?

Lot's of people read my posts and all I have is an avatar.
Though admitedly 50% of the time they probably read them for all the wrong reason hahaha.

Oh and D-finity. Think pictures on the photo. Do you want the chick in it? What part of the photo exactly? The dogs? What in the photo do you want included.

Saything the top inch or so doesn't really help. Espically when the image is something like...34 inches wide xD

Now how do you make flashy banners? hehehe, the questions.... :twisted:
