FYI, we've increased the size limit of your avatar. The maximum dimensions have gone from 90x90 to 160x160.

Now show us what you can do! :D

Won't let me upload it though. Plus it's quite similar to Paul_S's so decided against it...

There is a 100k limit so you may need to optimise it. It's like mine but that just makes it great in my eyes :D

It's probably just me but although I like my car I don't like animated cars for avatars. I like to see the other weird images that people think make cool avatars. It shows another side of each person. Sometimes public or obvious and sometimes a secret.

I've always had a rotating car and when I sold the 350Z I needed to change this:

So I made this:

Since I update my sig quite regularly I like the consistency of the avatar. Probably being in IT means it does show a side to my character, or lack of it! :teeth:

I tried last night to add an avatar from a website with no luck.

This was the direct link to the avatar but no matter - it didn't work.

http://www.avatardb.com/./data/media/13/an...avatars0607.gif


Any ideas please?

Not sure if you're talking to me but I'll try posting this to see if the avatar shows up. It doesn't seem to in the "edit avatar section".
