Oh wow. I just realized that Jim's avatar was 26.15 KB.

(Thanks Mindi!)

DOH!

Somebody spank me.. I forgot to 'Optimize' the animated gif.. I fixed the file. it's only 9k now.. If you re-download it you should be ok.

Apologies to those affected by my oversight.

Cheers!

Yes but I didn't do anything special.

Here's an Idea,.. if you got a paint program that can do the following..

1) Load a .png image with alpha channel
2) Crop and/or resize an image (to 64x64 size)
3) Overlay a .png on the resized/cropped 64x64 image
4) Save As.. .gif (with optimized pallet & set color RGB 255,0,255 to transparent)

Then using this Template..

You too can make a custom Avatar. Try if if you can and see if it works. Be sure to post your results here so we can all see. If you want to make a 'batch' of avatars and post them here, Mindi can decide if they are worthy of being moved to the default selection of avatars.

Cheers!

Trying to follow your instructions as best I could (I was using Adobe ImageReady), I made this for Sarge:

David I have a challenge for you if you're up to it.

Using this mushroom cloud:

Can you insert Dave the Barbarian's head:

And add the word "Bejabbers!" (without the quotes of course) to make a new avatar which is the correct size for this forum and a second one that is 200x200?

I would greatly appreciate it if you are able to.
