Your avator looks lovely, Sue. I remember when I had my F.F. badge.

Re: avatar
Here is how to do it Leila.
1. Select a picture stored on your PC OR select one from a website, right click on it and save it to your PC.
2. Sign into the society forums and go to User Control Panel
3. Click Profile
4. Click Edit Avatar
5. Click Browse
6. Find and click the picture saved on your PC then click Open
7. Picture should upload
If you get a warning saying it is too big (it can only be 100 pixels by 100 pixels)
1. Find the picture and click on it, it should tell you its pixel size/dimensions either at the bottom left of the open window (XP) or at the bottom of the window (Vista).
2. Crop image in Paint or in Windows Picture Manager (guesswork required to get right size) OR resize to 100x100 (or 100X90 etc) in Picture Manager (To open a picture in Picture Manager right click it and select Open With).
3. Upload picture.
Good Luck!
Apologies if I've simplified it too much for you!

Well done Leila and Debbie for getting your avatar up - its lovely. I didn't realise you actually had a parrot called Kiki! Does she like being bathed or is it a bit of a fight?
