Okay, I'm looking at my avatar and it doesn't look clear when I'm on this site. The picture itself is clear, but whenever I upload them on here, they look pixelated (sp). Any ideas?

Your picture is 500 x 500 pixels, but is being displayed at 90 x 90 pixels. A picture that looks good at a large size does not always look good small. There's another problem with using a large picture: everyone has to download 36004 bytes (the size of your picture), when they are seeing much less information than that, and it slows people on dial-ups significantly.The solution is to use an editing program (if you don't have one, Irfanview is free and will do enough) and crop and resize until you have something that looks good at 90 x 90 pixels, and save it at that size.

The first one I uploaded was 100x100. I guess I'll upload that one back or reduce it to 90x90.

Okay, all fixed now. But, it seems to do it when I open Firefox and IE.

It looks all right to me.

Okay, all fixed now. Seriously. I thought by adding a bigger file would make it more clear, but I guess it had its backlash. I reduced the file down to 90x90 and now it looks "clear" in all 3 browsers I use.

Thanks, Pete.
