    Need a way to make a custom avatar, or to reduce an image size for uploading?

    I just discovered this great site - you can edit any image right online. Slick as all get out...

    Nice. I always have trouble making things an uploadable size without compromising the picture. I'm gonna have to give this a shot later.

    If you can't upload it onto nyyfans then just upload it on tinypic or something and use it as an AV you got online. That's what I do.

    I have this program and you don't need to know anything about computers to use it. With this program you can open files and resize them and also change files from jpg to gif to ico..etc

    Photobucket now has a really user friendly image editor built into it. Works great. Lots of bells and whistles.

    I'm sorry, really! Didn't you win another tournament? And I think you are way ahead in the trivia contest too? I can't look at it at work...I sucked at that yesterday.

    Haha don't be sorry, it's just a bracket tournament. Yes, I won two other tournaments. I'm in 8th in the trivia.

    You can buy a custom avatar for one year at any time for 20 dollars.

    But to get one for free you need to be a member for 2 years or have 5,000 or more posts.

    2000+ posts I think you mean. You only have 4,000-something, and been a member since 07'. UNLESS, that Rasner avatar is in the database already, then my mistake.

    I have to wait a little bit longer.

    I actually gave 20 bucks to the site a few months ago, so that's why I can use the custom avatar.

    Some people make their own (they're called "userbars"), but your best bet would be to look on this site (scroll down and look on the right side for the directory):
