I have a Mac so no Microsoft Paint for me.

i tried paint and saving the image as everything from bmp to gif but the picture went crazy grey.

I contacted you to enquire about how to put up an avatar - as i really like them for the same reasons you do - but your kind instructions did not work and i gave up in frustration after fiddling around for some time. is there a way you can tweak the site so that it is easier to add an avatar? I have never had an issue on any other forum or website.

Has anyone just tried using Microsoft Paint? That's what worked for me.

worked for me too

Ok, people who have a picture they want to use but can't get it saved/compressed properly, just post it here as an attachment or link from photobucket/flickr type of site and I will try to rework and post it back so you can save/upload it as your avatar. Sorry for the strict upload requirements but it benefits all the readers in the long run from having to wait a long time for all avatars to load a long time.

I have another one that actually shows my face but it's still just a quick snapshot with Photobooth.


I need to get my daughter to take some proper photos of me with the birds.

Much better this time. I could probably use a new Avatar myself some time, I'll probably wait till I have two parrots to show with me
