Try using google or some other search engine to locate one you like. Just use "free avatar" as a search string. I think that will get you off to a good start.

I just followed my own advice, and it was an ugly experience.

I checked a couple of sites, and they did have avatars, but there was also an unrelenting bombardment of pop-ups and various other junk that was a constant distraction, so be forwarned, and good luck.

Maybe someone else can point out some "better" sites that have free avatars to offer without all the garbage.

Phla made mine but if you go onto Google and type in "avatar gallery" there are a few good sites.

I looked there and at www.uselessgraphics.com. It helps if you have an idea what you want or else endless time to search.

🙂Good Luck!

It has to be uploaded onto a server that is online and accessable over the internet. Your ISP may allow you a certain amount of online storage space on their server, as part of the service you are paying them for. You should probably check with them first, and see if that is the case.

Some of the members here may be able to host it for you as well, in which case you will need to send the graphic to them at their email address. Once they get it loaded up, they will send you the correct URL to use.

Make sure it is the right size...50 pixels x 50 pixels. The size can be changed in the program, Paint. I went to www.imageshack.us and they hosted it. I copied the url and then pasted that into the spot on the my forum page. It took just a moment...however, it took 3 days to get the paint and pixel stuff worked out.
