Sure. I'll remake it later tomorrow and make the text stand out and maybe make it a bit less busy , any size requirments?

Hey guys it's me again...

That Avatar that Mistfit do it for me, I can not downloaded as mine, 'couse it shows on my comp as bpm... I don't know how all of my new pics are bpm. On my old computer Windows Mil all the pics were jpg (including this one and all others that I downloded from my previous Comp).

Now I have XP. Is it default for this program to get only bpm? Or there is a way to change that somehow (I tried something with Paint, but look imposible that way)? Is it connected with what Windows you have at all?

To tell you do truth I have no idea what those jpg, jpeg, bpm s ...are. What is the meaning of those words? I know, I know I'm complete Computer Dummy... :shakehead

And at the end could you do something about transfer this specific one avatar to solve the problem (I would like to put him as mine on Jan.7th).

Sorry.

And thanks.

To change it from a bitmap (.bmp) to a jpeg, open the image in paint, then select File -> Save As, when the window opens up, look below where it says "file name" and drop down the menu there, and select JPEG and save it!

To upload the Avatar I made transparent for you:

Click and drag the following;
http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/2nd_try_Avie.gif
Right click
Copy
Go to Edit avatar in User CP and right click in the "Enter Avatar URL:"
and paste the shortcut there.
Click "Save Changes" and you will be all set

Note Saving the avatar I made as a .jpg will not make it transparent (no background). It must be (and is) saves as a .gif format

Hows this orange (-> dutch) pimp?

Thanks, its nice to have a new avatar every once in a while.

It seems that either my request was forgotten in the last few pages, so:

I finally have a specific Idea for my Birthday Av:

Thake the above cloning vat, and edit it so it looks more like there's someone floting inside of it. (Supposed to be me)
Try doing it with and without party decoration, just to see which looks better.

I not even understand what it is, you have the original image? (bigger would help)

 

[Yuri2356]

The original image was smaller than that. I expanded it to a 70X70 size it's pre-fitted for an avatar.

It was originaly an image of the 'cloning vat' from Red Alert 2. The Idea behind the Av is that my character is a clone, so showing myself still in the vat would work well to symbolize the time leading up to my B-day.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

Wouldn't that make you a Borg clone?

 

[Yuri2356]

I don't see much connection between the Borg and cloning...

I see now, I will try

Hows this?

 

[Yuri2356]

Looks good.

Could you try one with a bit more of a 'fetus' look, like the one from "2001: A space Oddesey"?

I´m not good at effects, and that one seems dificult, but I found another image that may fit your request:

 

[Yuri2356]

An interesting twist, I'll take them both.

Feel free to mention anything else that comes to mind.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

I have 2001 on DVD, so I might be able to help you with that fetus thing...

I only can think of one more, from an alien vat:
