Problems creating avatars
 

I have made several attemps, making sure that I have the right size and proportion of my image in Photoshop, but when I go to load it here, it won't work- how come? And now even the pic from the art gallery isn't showing up. How come?

Patience is the key. You have to be here for a while before you get an avatar, longer until a custom title. It shouldn't be much longer for you, seein gas you're a productive member who makes worthwhile contributions to the community (I'm not talking about money.)
