this may sound a little lame, but i know very little about computers. i noticed dom, that you have a picture of your bike as your avatar. i was wondering how i can do this too. i have numerous pics of my bike, but they are all too big. i can resize pics with irfan view, but what size would i need to make the pic to be an avatar? is there a better/easier way to make the pic into the avatar size? any help is appreciated. thanx.

Try this site (http://www.resize2mail.com/?option=advanced). Select the pic you want to use as your avatar at #1 and enter up to 100 pixels as the width, then click okay. You'll then be taken to a page with a nice avatar-sized copy of your pic. Save that to your desktop/wherever.

Then go to edit avatar (http://www.motogpboards.com/profile.php?do=editavatar) in your control panel and click 'use custom avatar'. Select the pic you just saved and click save changes.

Job done. :)

cool, thanx man., that helps a lot.
