- the avatars in your posts look to be lower resolution than mine, I'm not sure why.

- I put the original(higher resolution) picturein an attachment to this post. Here is a suggestion for you to try. Open the file and save the image. This file is 432x385 pixels, too big for avatars - so it must be re-sized. Any photo manipulation software can do this.

-If you do not have photo software, or not sure how to work it, I use irfanview (free, user friendly, "safe" (no adware/spyware)photo software.(Here is a review in PC world and a link to download it:

I open the picture with irfanview, click on image:resize/resample: and select a new width of 145 pixels ("preserve aspect ratio" is checkedon - this automatically sets the picture height to 129). I save the image to a file and use the HNI profile instructions to load the image into my avatar. If any of you would like it, I could provide a list of detailed step-by-step instructions.
