Go into the user control panal (button labled "user cp" ) -> then go into "edit options", and all the way at the bottom, there is avatar options. -> "press Change avatar"

You have to upload your own avatar, either from your computer or link to it on the Internet.

The avatar have to be 50 by 50 pixels in size.

Hope this helps.

You could just pick an image from the internet and make it the right size using paint or photoshop (or any other program you want)

Awright...you caught me.

I'm a moron when it comes to paint and photoshop. I know where I can find a picture I'd like to alter, but how, exactly, do I do this.

I can handle reading instructions on how to install a game on my computer, barely handle installing hardware (like a printer, monitor, video cards, etc.), but any innate ability I'm supposed to have I don't.

(Guess I have my personal special abilities button greyed out.)

Thanks for your help.

I have the Dutch version of windows so I have Dutch paint, but i will try to explain how it's done.
- Open your picture with paint and open image->properties (ctrl-e)
- Here you will see hight and width, choose for the option pixels
- Devide 50 by that number, and then multiply by 100
(for example you're pciture is 150 by 100 then then first (50/150)x100=33 and then (50/100)x100=50
- Open image->stretch (ctrl-W)
- Here you can fill in the percentages (In the example 33 and 50)
- Done

If it doesnt work let me know!

Try a website like Crack's Smiles. There are a range of game-based avatars here. Just select a game, then click on the avatar you want to copy. The address you need to pass along to Buck's website will be listed along the top of the page. Note GB's size restriction; some are too large. But hopefully you'll find something useful.
