i am not sure of the size limit for the avatar
but i think it is 128k

you can either go to "paint" and crop your image a bit
or wait till later when i have a chance to see whats up with
the limitations on avatars, or what the problem might be.

Ok, I'm gonna stop trying to be a smarta$$.
I guess that you call what I want an "avatar?"  Sorry guys, I have played with computers for years, built several, BUT I have never
tried to post or be a member of a forum.. until now. Please try to bear with me.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks WJ. Yes my kids are really good on the games too, but they (and their friends) still call the "Old Man" when their 'puters get slow or die.
