How your avatar is so BIG???
I thought that limit was 100x100 pixels...
Anyway, your old one was better :o
And the new one has pretty bad quality, my scanner sucks... I think I'm gonna search for a new one.

I was wondering about that too. I think, by linking to the pic. And if you're lucky, you can use it. :)

I think the avatars can be a bit larger than 100X100, but you have to link them from the bottom slot on the option thingy.

@mafiaboy, what does your avatar symbolize?

It's on the booklet of Dream Theater's Train Of Thought, it's connected to the song This Dying Soul, just read the lyrics here :)

I like Stratofanius' avatar. He always chooses good ones. But I think, that the width shouldn't be more than 80 pixels, as sometimes it can be a problem. But imho the width that you have is still no problem. (100 or 120?)
But if we are here, then I should mention, that big pictures shouldn't be posted either. Just think about it: you post a 1024*768 picture, and for the avarage users' computer's resolution is exactly 1024*768. So they can't see the whole picture, because the "userbar" on the left is more than 0 pixel wide.
