... how do you guys get your avatars to look so sharp and pretty? Everytime I upload my avatar, it becomes blurry and just looks nasty. The images are the right size and they don't look unclear when I view them on my computer, but when I upload them they end up looking like something a five year old made. Frown

What am I doing wrong? Do you guys have a page that could help me?

It seems that the site IS resizing the images, so that may be the issue here. What a shame though, I don't know what the largest possible image size is - no matter what size I use, it always ends up blurry or then just too small. I'll have to be looking some more into this, thanks for the help though.
