[grwebster]

This was posted back when the forum first started, and I have had some people ask since so here it is

If you want to add an avatar ie a photo of yourself or your favorite airplane, go to this free site that doesn't require registering

http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar
click on 'Browse' to select photo from your computer
set size to 90
click resize - it may take a few moments to resize it but not long
then select the one you want to use from the three choices
down load it to your computer

go to 'Use Control Panel'
then your Profile tab> 'Edit avatar
then "Upload from your machine'> Browse
add new image> 'Submit'
done! ...and your new avatar will go on every old post you have and all new ones.
