DWD445, I like yours.
I like seeing avatars too. Sure helps you to know who is posting at a glimpse.

A few nights ago, I decided to give an Avatar another try. This would be my 3rd attempt. This time I making, what I thought anyway, was good progress. I kept hitting roadblocks, got around them, got more road blocks, got around them, etc, etc. I tried it through Photobucket and directly through my computer, both. Right at the end, I saw where it looked like I needed to re-size it to a smaller picture. Accomplished that, but it still would not submit. Around mid-night I finally gave up, lol.

I have Avatars at about 6 or 7 different sites and some were no picnic either, but a few were like nothing. I'll keep trying as time allows, lol.

Maybe you can just put a happy face on the one you have...

Seriously though, I googled "avatar generators" and then just uploaded my photo into it. There was about 3 or 4 steps, and it was done. Prior to that I struggled trying to reduce pixels, etc.

That sounds easier than what I had to do. I emailed myself from my tablet, edited it on my computer, altered the save quality to shrink the file size, then emailed it back to myself so I could upload it via my tablet... :-D Tried your route, much better results!

I did mine on a PC, found one on a free avatar site, double screened it and dragged/dropped. Went right in :D

Wow, we're getting a pretty sophisticated crowd here. Nice. I had to google that one to find out it's meaning. It fits like a glove.

Nice one Les!
