Why is an avatar so dammed complicated?
its the image size issue mostly and the detail quality.. I just found a free site with READY sized avatars ...the cartoon type i guess use less space and shrink better .
Mine worked first time from the ready to use avatar site. I could not get anything on my computer to work from my own picture files. That reduction program is PITA.
I figured one of the funky little cartoons was better than nothing. Maybe i ll change it if i see a better one.
