Default How I can have an avatar?

Hi to everybody!
I'm a "fresher" here.
I'd like to have an avatar, (like other "forumers"). But I don't know how to do this. ;-(
Could you, please help me. Does anybody know where to download it?
Or if I have a large picture, is it possible to make it smaller, and suitable for the forum?
By the way, what it the limit size, in pixels and kb?

Thanks in advance..

Admin Edit: Changed hidden punctuation links to TWL. Don't spam.

Go to the Profile link. Scroll down to the bottom, and you'll see the Avatar Control Panel.

Heh, that was indeed clever...but then again, how many people would have noticed it, if you didn't mention it? Doesn't seem that efficient of a spam...

How was that a spam? Did you edit something out? I definately must have missed something.

If you look or hover your mouse over some of the letters and/or punctuation, they are links.

I agree, I don't know why they would want to do that, the only way I could think of someone actually going to one of those sites is accidentally clicking a link.

Presumably he/she is trying to artificially boost their search engine rankings by increasing the number of pages elsewhere on the internet linking to them. I've changed them to link to TWL's main page now.

P.S. Devid_777's email address is loginkn@cashette.com. Feel free to email him/her your feelings about using our forums for spam (I'm sure the various spam bots roaming the internet will...).

Haha, now that is awesome. What about enabling the feature requiring email activation, so we know that is a real email address?
