Could someone help me here please ? I tried to change my avatar on Sunday but only managed to delete the existing one. Bugger. Quiff usually sorts this but I think he's away. Could someone post a step by step idiot's guide to changing avatars ?

Mock if you must . My talents lie elswhere - Honest. :)

Karin, it's easy (even for idiot children like me :oops: ) but you have to be sure the new pic isn't more pixels or kB-s than allowed.
