your avatar is the same aspect ratio as the original. the original is 100x100 and yours is 120x120 though...

so the either the original is distorted or it was meant to be like that..

the original is clearer though, as the animation is smaller, so you may wish to do that.. Did you make yours larger? or did the avatar upload do something.?

Well do you know how to make it 100x100 becausse tttnjfttt let me use it after he changed his avatar and thats the link he gave me and when he had it up on his it didn't look like it does on mine. So do you know how to make it 100x100?

thats what the link you gave me is.. 100x100 which is why i was trying to figure out what changed it when you uploaded it, as i presume you downloaded the other avatar and not linked it?

All I did was right click on the picture then I clicked on propertys and highlighted and copied the link it gave when the box appeared then I uploaded it, I even just tried copy and pasting the link thats in the web address bar but it gave the same size.

in that case, you have linked to it using the URL.. i tried doing a test upload and the original file size is too big.. i will take a look for you.

Alright thanks for trying.

All i did was put the link in, nothing special. I remember it looking a little fuzzy, so when i used it it may have been showing up as 120x120. I tried saving it and also uploadign it, but it didn't work. No idea what to tell you.

the forum upload currently stretches images to fill the 120x120 limit....

Mine was 120x 90 but it got stretched so I edited it and stretched the top and bottom of the image - leaving the center with the correct aspect... doing that to each frame of an animated gif will be a pain in the butt....

How be you change the wording under the avatar picture? IE: Fishaholic in under my picture.

Click on my controls on top of screen then scroll down and on left hand side you will see edit profile then click on it and at the top it will say customize and then you type what you want it to say.
