If you use an avatar (the picture below your username) I would ask that you do one of two things:
- save the avatar to your machine, then go to your profile and upload it here.
- link to an offsite image only if you are linking to your personal web space.

If you link to an avatar offsite on someone else's site, they pay for the bandwidth everytime someone views a thread with one of your posts. (This is why my avatar says 'I am a bandwidth stealing scumbag' - someone got a bit frisky over this).

Thanks, that helped me figure it out. Sorry for the heroic proportions. :oops:

Oops, time for a new one.

Glenn, it seems like if you link, you can use a bigger pic, is that right?
