Glad to hear it. Actually, many of the avatars being used in the forum are larger than necessary, for the same reason yours was. People either don't know that downsizing the image before using it as an avatar will produce a smaller file size, or they are just lackadaisical in their attitude about it. But, I've never seen a case where the resizing would yield as drastic a change as in your case. That's why I posted the message. When I first displayed a topic with your large avatar file this morning, I noticed, even with DSL Internet access, that the avatar was taking a bit of time to display.
