Sure pete, click on the profile link at the top of any page, then click on edit options, then the Change Avatar button at the bottom of that page. You can then upload your picture to the forums from that page, or use one of the 270+ standard ones that i have already uploaded :)

Neat, Joe. Thanks.

Fubar5 (Matt) gave me a good hint for reducing a photo scan to fit the 64 X 64 pixel limits for the BikeForums avatar. (Thanks, Matt!).

To do this, go to www.picturetray.com and download the software. There may be better ways to do it, but after reducing the photo, I right mouse clicked and dragged the reduced image onto Microsoft Photo editor, saved the image, and then downloaded it to BikeForums.

It will be fun to see what avatars people come up with.
