ZONE AVATARS
If you have 150 or more Posts you earn the priviledge to have
a unique Avatar. Sure would nice if more of you who can do so
would try to come up with one. It's a way to show uniqueness
and personality & the only allowed pictures on the forum.
If anyone needs any help or wants a Zone related Avatar
but has had trouble finding something good...I will be more
than happy to help. Just e-mail me and tell me two or three
things or qualities you are looking for to help me along.
Let's make the Zone a better place for all.

Edit:
The maximum size for avatars is 160x160, 10 KB. Jpg and Gif images are allowed.
Advice on reducing image size, by Romulous:
For anyone without Photoshop or for anyone who uses another image viewer, don't worry - there are alternatives when it comes to removing the EXIF data. If your graphics program doesn't have a similar 'Save for Web' option, JPG Cleaner is a nice, simple (and free) standalone EXIF remover (http://www.rainbow-software.org/programs.html). Alternatively, if you have IrfanView installed (which is a popular freeware image viewing software), you can use the 'JPEG Lossless Rotation' option to remove the EXIF markers as well (tick the 'Clean All APP Markers' option).
http://www.fixpicture.org/
This site (Fix Picture) was created by the author of XnView, the popular freeware image viewer. To test it, I took a 1920x1080 image of 1.17MB that had some EXIF data in it, and ran it through the service to see what happened.
The end result was that it reduced it to a 160 pixel JPEG, 4.70KB - and removed the EXIF data in the process. Now, EXIF data can be stored in a number of ways - a particular wallpaper website for example stores its own EXIF data (which is just basically spam, advertising the website) in a way that makes it difficult to remove from the file. I can't guarantee that this website removes all types of EXIF data, but I believe it covers the main methods used.
Anyway, I have done up a quick screenshot guide on how to run an image through the service for anyone who wants to make use of it. Note that the resizing option will keep the original aspect ratio (width divided by height) of the file - you can't change that. For example, you have a 320x200 file you want to run through the site. Selecting the size as 160 will mean the output image will be 160x100 - you can't tell it to make the image 160x160 for example. Still, that shouldn't be much of a problem for most cases, as quite frequently changing the aspect ratio like that will make the image look quite bad.
Enough chatter from me - here is the link to the screenshot guide:

Images can still be processed manually of course for anyone that is familiar with doing so, this website is more for people who might have an image that they want to reduce to avatar size, but don't actually know how to do that.
