summerhorse, go to your Profile and scroll down. At the bottom there's a section called Avatar Control Panel. I think it's pretty easy to figure out (well I figured out and I'm usually lost when it comes to these thing. :wink: ) The only complication is that the picture use has to be quite small, so you might have to tinker with that.

The last time I saw him was the end of December and he had grown a few more inches unfortunally for my niece's pony who was out with him. His growth was thankfully slowing down a bit after having been weaned. Mom milks like a holstein cow and he was an extremely tall leggy foal when he was born.

Mine is our first foal when about 3 months old. Now a yearling and we'll be breaking her in in another few months :)

Skipped a year with the mare and now in foal to Captain Rio.

How do you get the size smaller without losing resolution?

I change mine often, but the current one is of my filly Royal Pacific, born 1-18-06, with her dam Reigning Glory.

Perhaps you should post it since it's related to the question.

Actually, I have a cheat, I don't really know how to do it myself. Normally, if I need something shrunk, I send it to Sid ... she's unavailable at the moment so I have to back door it.

I've a private yahoo listmail. I upload the pic, it automatically creates a thumbnail, I snatch the thumbnail and then remove the pic.

It's a pain in the butt (only because my pc is a dinosaur and takes forever to download things), but I'm too computer stupid to do it any other way :lol: That, and it's easier than fighting with it to get them the right size for avatar use (php boards aren't exactly "one size fits all" for avatar size, but a thumbnail pic normally is the right size).

I downloaded this program (in a zip file) to make my avatar. I thought it was pretty easy to use, and I'm not exactly skilled at the technical computer stuff.

Hey thanks...this question got me to put up "Yours Truly" I guess I was to lazy to figure it out before, but I did now. :)
