Avatars
Hey Doug,
I guess the capability of using avatars was added in the recent software update, since I haven't seen any before now.
I really like it, and would encourage people to use an actual photograph of themselves, in some form, even if it is rotated 90 degrees for artistic purposes  Shoot we already know you have a beautiful airplane, we want to see you.
I just think it personalizes the posts and might even make it possible to recognize someone at LOE.

Yep, Larry. Avatars are now enabled and I'd agree completely that a face is the preferred image (even 90* rotated  ).
Did you notice the new multi-quote feature that I used in this reply?  .

If you had one of my left eye, I might consider it. But for now I'm sticking with my airplane flying along with a bunch of buds! (Hog, Rosie, Lucky, Hack)

How do I get my photos to 10kb?
Sorry for being so dull guys, but how do I get my photo down to 10kb? I took my favorite photo and reduced it to 35kb by telling windows I wanted to e-mail it to someone, but that is not enough. Do I need some additional software?
Thanks

Steve, I couldn't get iPhoto to do it. An 80 by 80 was just a bit too big.
The free Windows photo program Picasa can do it. You just pick lower and lower qualitiy for an export until it works. By the way, I found that Picasa will not display a small photo unless you tell it to.
I'm sure there is a lot of other software that can do it also.
