Re: OT - funny little picture
The etchnical for them is "avatarr", which is a grandiose wy of saying "little picture to show everyone what I look like."
You'll need a gif file 48pixels x 48 pixels in size. This is just big enough for a miniaturised photo of yourself, a resized se4 race_portrait file or something more imaginativeif you like. Put the picture Online somewhere then go to your profile and insert your picture's URL in the appropriate box.
I can't decide whether to use a Version of the picture I already have in my sig, a new self-portrait or a miniaturised space vikings picture. Or something else altogether.

Re: OT - funny little picture
48 pixels does not seem like much, Tesco’s portrait looks to have more resolution in it than that. However, I am obviously an amateur in this, so what do I know?
Is it practical to shrink a photo down, or is that impossible? If not, do I need to go to a paint program and unleash my artistic skills?
Thanks!

Speaking of; Dracus, I have yet to figure out exactly what your avatar picture IS. Care to enlighten me?

Looks like a dragon to me. GeoSchmo's tweaked Phong nearly made me fall off my chair laughing.

Re: OT - funny little picture
It is a dragon attacking a tower.
I am looking for a better one.
