Default Avatars!!!!!!!!!

Having just spent the best part of two hours trying to resize one of my own photo's and then surfing looking for downloadable avatars, I finally found one which should give you all a clue as to where we live.

I must point out, that we're not fans of football, but I was ready to give up on the whole idea of having an avatar.

Where do you find yours?
Can you re-size your own photos to fit?

should be grouting the bathroom not looking for avatars.

OK quick guide:
If you have a digital photo in your computer (or download one from the net) right click on it and chose 'open with' paint.
Then use the stretch / skew feature to recuce the size until it's less than 65x65 pixels. Save as jpeg file and then use in the change avatar feature in expats.

Here's a nice piccy of a boat that I've just got from the web.:


If you still can't do it then let me know what you want and I'll sort it - for a small fee of Karma!

If it's on your computer then in the reply post mode look down the page to the button that says manage attachments. click on that, find the attmnt and hit upload. It wont handle anything particularly big so you'll have to resize.
If it's from the internet then hit the yellow button with a mountain on and paste in the url of the picture.

Cheers for that Biddy, I'll try having a go at that tonight when the kids have gone to bed. All new to me this avatars, maybe a few will help.

If I new how the karma worked I'd send some. (don't even know what it is) I've seen the button for it.

You're a sweetie. I've no idea what Karma actually does, but it's very nice getting it.

Off to the pub, it's sooooo hot. I can see I'm going to regret it tomorrow, but what the hell.

We reckon that unless you have a photo shop quality printer and photo paper, then I would get the booth ones done. Best to avoid any possible things that could cause queries.

If you click on attributes - it will tell you the dimensions of the picture.
