What is an Avatar?
As you can tell I have very limited CPU skills (typing is about it) and even less lingo knowledge. And how do you use it. I have not posted a photo in the (AVATAR?) because I do not know what it is nor how to use it or where to find it.
I am sure it is all right here in front of me.

Well, I have seen and tried the stuff at the bottom of the page prior with no luck. I have tried again. Evidently my pictures are to large. I need to figure out how to make em smaller. If I can't fix it with a hammer, I am in trouble. I liked the arrows also.

Guess I figured it out and if you right click on the avatar and go to properties it says it is 160 X 120 Pixels.
I wish it could have been a bit larger but this has to do with my hosting site-Photobucket and not necessarily this site.
Some are able to get larger sizes and others, not PC wise, get what they get.
I am sure not an expert at this stuff but sure would be happy to spend the time to help you if you would like.

Ruffshooter,
You can use Paint (should be included with Windows) to reduce the size of your pictures for your avatar.
Paint is probably located in Start->Programs (or All Programs)->Accessories->Paint
You can open your picture with Paint, then change the size. There are two selections under the Image menu item, "Stretch/Skew" and "Attributes". You can view the Attributes of your image to determine it's size in pixels, then if too large, you can use the Stretch/Skew option to reduce the size. I would suggest changing the percentages for horizontal and vertical the same amount (ie - 50% size for both) unless you want to skew the image one axis or another.
Hopefully this helps - if you are still having difficulties, I can post some screen shots to assist.
