is there someone that makes the avatars that we use on this site? I'm going to need to change to a jet stream blue C6 avatar soon but I don't think we have one. Any volunteers?

I do a lot of photoshop work and will be happy to try something for you if you have something in mind. Feel free to contact me with pictures or concepts and I'll see what I can do for you.

Talon,
I've tried in vain in Photoshop to make my photos small enough to be acceptable. I can get mine to the 150X150 size but the file won't go below around 35 kb and at that they look terrible. Any suggestions?

I don't know what version you are using but try the, File, "save for web" feature if you have one.

Just go here and upload any file you like as your avatar. It should resize it to the 150 pixel constraint, at least it worked for me on my last one.
