I right clicked an image and picked "Properties."

Keep in mind a forum avatar needs to be small, 50x50 looks best.

I can help more, just need more info from you.

Here are some avatars I uploaded to get people started a long time back. Most are unused these days, so take your pick :

Um... I tried your link there, & I got 'the page cannot be found'. Got another one?

try

www.gamespy.com/avatars/

in your 'My Forum settings' page, set the URL of the image you like: for example

http://www.gamespy.com/avatars/av/SO/so45.gif

for a thundercats avatar. quite cool.

hope that helps a bit.

There, that's a lot better. Thank you.

Semper what? "Semper" means "Always" so saying "Always to all" doesnt seem to make much sense 😕 just confused
