what do I have to do to establish an avatar?

just save a small picture on your computer
remember where you saved it
then in your profile, go down to browse in the avatar menu

find your picture and select it

voila

Avatars available directly from this site to DMBTabs users would be fresh.

You need to have some sort of image editing software (Photoshop, etc...) and you need to open the photo in there and adjust its size to something that is less than 8k. Try getting some software off of kazaa or send the picture to someone that has the software and ask them to change it for you. I could probably help you, lemme know.

I got this really phat picture of dave playing grey street (I think, because of his twelve string and his fingers in a Bm chord like in the chorus) at one of his verizon wireless ampitheater concerts. I want to make it my avatar, but even after I made it a jpeg and cropped it down to 7.86 KB, the stupid site keeps telling me that it is over 8 KB. I can't crop it anymore without cutting dave's head off or whatnot. I was wondering if you or somebody else knew a way make it take up less space without cropping it. All I need to figure out how to do is to make it smaller in demension without cropping it and simultameously reduce its usage of disk space. I'm pretty sure there is a way to do that.
If you can do anything with it, let me know and I'll send it to you. If not, tell me if there is anyone you know who can and I'll send it to them.
Thanks! :D

angelfire won't let you hotlink (link to an image or download on its site from another site). you can try some other websites, though.

Send it on over to me....jaredmanjr on AIM...and I'll do it for ya. By the way.... 7.86KB does not mean that it is less than 8KB. That's the appx size.....right click and go to properties then see how much the actual size is....lata
