Make my own avatar?

I mentioned this elsewhere but don't mind repeating myself, myself. There's an avatar_sizer program available on www.download.com for free that's so easy to use it's silly. You can turn any photo/graphic into the perfect avatar.

What is it called Bob? I looked and there are a lot of feebies there.

Thanks,
Andy
 
Andy it is called Avatar Sizer on my desktop shortcut. I simply typed avatar in their search engine & the sizer popped up. The actual filename that you'll download is Avatar_Setup.exe
 
Pre-defined Standard Avatars?

How do avatars get added to the "Pre-defined Standard Avatars" list?

I just grabbed the logo from our website (http://bmwdfw.org/), scaled it down to 21% (to meet the 70x70 rule), saved it, and uploaded it as my own.

But I'm curious, as a very new member, how did the list get created?

Well that seemed like a good excuse for my first post.

Sincerely,

Eric

eric,

welcome to the forum!

i think kbasa, bradfordbenn, or gregfeeler will have a good reply for you. i'm guessing they are simply loaded into a folder that vbulletin sees, and news ones can be dragged into it at the administrator's whim.

Hey Eric,

Send Greg Feeler or knary a note and they'll load it up to the forum for you. From there, it'll be a standard avatar.

testing my avatar

Seeing how things look...from a new member! The rally in Wisconsin looks awesome. Looking forward to rally participation.
 
This has been giving me mega grief for ages; wish I'd read this thread earlier:doh
I think I've cracked it now; if not I'm going for some lunch.
Feb 1st and icy rain etc.
Take care on those roads.
