I have a HP scanner. I've owned it for 2 years and just took it out a couple of weeks ago, haven't had much time to play with it...

Scanners vary but if you have a digital camera take your picture and download to your computer. Then search out Bullwinkle's offer to take that picture you would send as an attachemnt to him and he will bring it down to a size the avatar download will handle. You can download this to your profile.

If you have a print photo, you might scan it. But I would scan it to a JPEG type of file (less memory). I'm no expert on this stuff, believe me. And it may help if the image of you is relatively small in the print (not a full head shot which takes up most of the picture). Because you may need to crop it down to the 80x80 pixels limit for the avatar. Or if you have problems with that but can scan it, you could email the scanned to Bullwinkle who has volunteered to help make it into something at the right size for the avatar. (As rock and roll said). Don't know if this helps.

Rested Gal,

Wow! Is that you??
Terrific!
So amazing to see you, after reading your posts for all these months.
I was sent a photo of you as you looked way back when, of you proudly riding a horse, also a terrific photo. So it's exciting to you now, and just as terrific. Wish I had your guts! (and your terrific hair!....mine's gotten weird on me, like it's decided to turn on me). Thanks for sharing your picture!

Linda

Gosh, thanks, Linda. Yes, that's me in the summer of 2002. I need to get a more recent picture made....maybe holding up my Aura, the way people hold up a newspaper to show the date! Actually, a stringy-haired picture of me after a day of bathing dogs would be more realistic.

This was posted by Janelle in the curiousity thread:

Reduce the resolution if you can to 72 dpi. Save the file as xavatar.jpg/gif and then go to Profile at the top of the page on Cpaptalk.com. This will open up your Profile. Scroll down to nearly the bottom of the page and there will be a window where you can browse your C drive to find the file (you DO remember where you saved it, right?), click on that and it will show the file path in the window. Scroll further down and click Submit and that's all there is to it.

Okay, after much harrassment, I've changed my avatar to a photo of me taken about 2 years ago for my passport. I'm not smiling, but then you're not allowed to smile for passport photos.

If I've done this right, you should now see a picture of me and a tiny little bit of my daughter's face...

If I've done it wrong, or if you need to update the prescription on your glasses, you should see little or nothing.

Liam, picture that...

Something about this is spooking me. Did the Lone Ranger reveal himself to anyone but Tanto? Did Batman wears tights and no mask around anyone but Robin? Did Clark Kent let his cub reporter see him without his glasses? Wasn't Michael Jackson.... Say, I'm starting to see a pattern here....
