RE: avatars (how do i change
there is a choice at the bottom of your profile page that says 'upload from your machine' click that, then find the folder where the picture you want is and double click it. the picture will have to be ver small, 60 x 40 pixels i think... you can change the size in paint by opening the picture in paint, going to the 'image' tab up the top and making the strecth/skew percentages smaller. make a copy of the pic first if you dont want to destroy the original.
