How are you doing this exactly? Are you trying to have the server host your image? If so, I'd suggest you to find a third-party hoster, such as photobucket, imageschack, what have you and link it. This will allow you an avatar with the wished size and resolution.

For the "where'd you get yours from" question ...: Mine is a picture of the paladin from the Hexen 2 manual. I sepia'd it, and then put a watermark of the Rel symbol over it...

Regarding mine, I found a photo by accident and thought: "Hey, that's Vin!".
Last thing I knew, I was drawing a hat on the silhouette with photoshop.

I did a Google image search for "super powered chimp" or "super chimp," and I found this awesome render from
this guy's site.

ooo ooo, new question. How do i get a picture into my signature? I know there is a img. button, but do i have to post it somewhere online and copy the 'http:....' and paste it to be able to use it or is there a shorter way?

Maybe size that down a little mate, it's a bit overwhelming. On this little screen here it takes up most of the page!

Still no comment on how to adda picture to your signature. I havent tried puttin it on a website yet, cause i wast sure if me puttin it on facebook would do the trick or what. I'll just go for it, but advice would be met with gratitude.

Code: Select all
[img]URL OF YOUR IMAGE... MAKE SURE IT HAS AN EXTENSION, SUCH AS .JPG OR .PNG[/img]
The extension thing means you will not be able to link to a facebook picture, as those do not have extensions. I'd recommend uploading to a website appropriate for it, such as photobucket.
