I have gotten that far its trying to get a custom one up I cant figure out.

[josh.vince]

it won't let me do custom, i'm assuming because the help page says you need 100 posts to have a custom avatar.

26 more posts to go.

Lando - you seem to have plenty of posts...

[Landolakes]

We can just keep posting here to help you out But it wont help me any

first you need to create a custom avatar of the proper size. Have you done that yet?

[woodwonders]

it's got to be 150 x 150 and less than 7 something kb.

Use something like irfanview to resize/crop your picture.
You might have to lower the picture quality in order to get it down to an acceptable size.
If you post the pic in this thread I'll try and do this for you real quick.

Thanks Gary I have tried everything I know.

[Gary Majchrzak]

here's the resized pic.
place mouse cursor over it and left click.
save it (as is) to your PC hard drive picture file.
when going to the avatar page on RC make sure to browse to this pic on your hard drive and select it.
