3) click "browse" to find the jpeg file you have pirated from some other website (by right-clicking on your image of choice and choosing "save as image" on most PCs)

Or, you could just use a digital camera like you and I did! ;)

Thanks, Astral, for trying to bring us backward souls into the age of avatars.

I had to use three different image editors and save files multiple times. First three uploads appeared to meet specs but I kept getting a divide by zero error when I clicked save.

I worried this might bring down TPM, halt the Democratic campaign and hand the White House to the Republicans. Dividing by zero is what they do best, at least for deficits.

Don't know why the last upload succeeded.

BTW, I bear a striking resemblance to the default image anyhow.

Actually, I used a scanner, but I figured that anyone who knows how to use a scanner or digital camera already knows how to do this. Just keeping things simple for this go-round.
