 DOH!    Somebody spank me.. I forgot to 'Optimize' the animated gif.. I fixed the file. it's only 9k now.. If you re-download it you should be ok.
 
Apologies to those affected by my oversight.
 
Cheers!   |

				 Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar 
 Here's an Idea,.. if you got a paint program that can do the following.. 
1) Load a .png image with alpha channel 
2) Crop and/or resize an image (to 64x64 size) 
3) Overlay a .png on the resized/cropped 64x64 image 
4) Save As.. .gif (with optimized pallet & set color RGB 255,0,255 to transparent)
 
Then using this Template..
   
You too can make a custom Avatar. Try if if you can and see if it works. Be sure to post your results here so we can all see. If you want to make a 'batch' of avatars and post them here, Mindi can decide if they are worthy of being moved to the default selection of avatars.
 
Cheers!   |

				 Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar 
 Ahh, but that part we figured out.....we were having a debate of which kind of kitty, lol. I know it's not the fluffy type that is in our house...although their claws sometimes feel like it...and we were uncertain as a couple different ones seem possible.  Maybe we should just go with kitty...meow.
