I searched FAQ's, but could not find anywhere on what steps are involved in adding a custom made avatar. Here are my questions:

1) Are there size limitations, and what are they?
2) Where do you upload the animated GIF image within this site, or should it be hosted on a personal webpage.

3) Any other suggestions on how to do it would be appreciated.

Thanks - Carl

Carl,
Go to user CP , Edit options and go down to the last line that says avatar. Click on change avatar. You will see a place to browse your files to upload your avatar. You can also get it from a url site but I never used that.

Here's what it says for custom avatars. Use custom avatar Note: the maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 20000 bytes (whichever is smaller).

You can find this here (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=editavatar)

For animations talk to RonDon. He can better help you there.

Thanks for the help DJ. Well I just added one, and it seems to work, but I do not know how it works when viewing on a dial up connection.

Thanks again - Carl

I'm on dial up and yer bike is morphing just fine here! :D It is very cool.... Vvvvrrrroooooooommmmm!

If you're ever in a spot again where you can't find what you're looking for, the search function under Forums on the menu bar is excellent for finding obscure info too.

When I use it, I usually select to view the results as posts, that way if what you want is buried in a thread that has a zillion posts you go right to the appropriate post and it shows you a short portion of the message so you can get an idea as to whether or not it might be what you're looking for.

There's also a link in my sig line to all kinds of info you might find helpful...

Hey Carl, lookin good. :) Guess you didn't need help on the animating part. :D

Yes sir. Looks good from my dial up too.
