mine isnt the best ,

but i just look for them while im surfing around ... and resize the image


i dont know of any sites which just have avatars ..sorry
 
What program would someone use to resize them?
 
I think most photo editors will do it. Microsoft Photo Editor, Irfanview (personal fav), Paint Shop, Photo Shop - the list could go on and on.
 
I have worked with computers and computer sytems ever since they were on sale comercially ( In the early 1960s I worked on the Elliot 803 that filled a huge room and had 8K memory and everything had to be loaded from punched tape!!!) but now things are moving so fast that I cannot keep up.

To please an old buffer like me please tell me.....what are Avatars?

Many thanks Lonman for you help. Next silly question is why is something so simple called an Avatar?

Here is the dictionary meaning, hope this helps!!

Avatar = An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
