We have some stock ones but for something bit more personal, sign up to photobucket, and upload your avatar there.

You just need to host your picture at somewhere like Photobox Photobucket etc etc and  post the link to there.

The size of avatars is actually limited to  110 x 110:

"Avatars and Signatures
Not everyone has a 20 meg broadband connection to the forum and some use mobiles/PDA's.  Please keep avatars to below 75k to avoid annoyance to low bandwidth users. Also, keep the maximum size to 110 x 110 pixels."

 ;) ;) ;) ;)


Andy:  Yours is obviously ok! 8-) 8-) 8-)
