Look what my bro just gave me! :D

(How the heck he can make it work just like that when I tried about 50 times and couldn't make one work, I don't know, but THANKYOU!) :D

That's a cracking photo to see in full size too, redjimmy. Nice high shutter speed has captured the rotors really clearly.

I'll bet the weather is a lot worse on more occasions than not, too.

Isn't he a sweetie?

I'm sure that Scurra will agree how appropriate it is that the Bunny is stamping its foot!! :lol:

I like Jim's new avatar too! :D (Is that actually you Jim?)

Wish I understood how you "resize" things SparkOut!

You open Photoshop, select "Image" in the menu, then "Image Size", set the dimensions, apply and save. The end.
You can do other fancy things, like dancing instead of foot tapping:

Very good! :D (I may use the dancing bunny when I next feel like a change from foot stomping!)

I don't think I've got anything called "Photoshop" on my computer.
Chazzie, what are you trying to do, make me look like a freak?? :lol: :lol:

Thanks sparkout but now I'm really showing my ignorance. How do I get the reduced sized one to the avatar slot? Bunnylump, I'm the one dressed all in black.

Try clicking it and then it maight ask if you want to save it. Then go into profile, edit avatar. (on menu left somewhere)
Then browse to find it where it saved and attach it.


Something like that anyway.

Actually the file is a little too big to be used as an avatar. Here is one that should fit the limits.

Just fancied a bit of a dance. And I've found (almost) just the music to fit the bill...(this is one of my favourites!) :D

It's cracking me up. I've got Dancing in the Street playing on another tab and I'm watching the bunny dance. Made my day. HOW SAD AM I??

This one may be somewhat better, but I don't know by how much. It'll probably still have jagged white edges around the ears. I'll tidy it up one day...(or leave it with the beige-ish background)

To redjimmy:

Save the small image somewhere on your machine that you can find again.
Then go into the "User Control Panel" found in the menu at the top of the page.
In the left hand pane under "Options" there will be a "Profile" setting.
Click that and the "Edit avatar" option will be shown below the options.
Click it and then press the "Browse..." button next to the "Upload from your machine" box.
Browse to where you remember saving the picture beforehand, select it and click the "Open" button.
Then click the "Submit" button and check the results.
