:roll: Been using this forum for a couple of months now and find it highly entertaining. However, I do feel a little bit at a disadvantahe as I don't have a really cool 'ICON' by my name and I don't feel it's fair.

Ramble ramble.......anyway, basically how do I get one? :)

    The image you use must be no larger than 10kb and 80x80. Plenty of options to resize an image online.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    To resize images use:

    If you are using XP

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... ySetup.exe

    Vista:

    http://www.vso-software.fr/download_pro ... oduct=vir2

    If you are using any other operating system:
    Go hide in a corner. :wink:

    No joke HM. He was born without external ears and abandoned at birth. But he had perfect ear canals beneath his skull. A very clever vet surgeon in Bristol drilled Weasel's (his name) skull and hey presto!! His hearing is perfect (he can hear a biscuit from 1 mile away). we adopted him and he's very happy. Just needs to learn to ride a bike now :D

    No, surprisingly enough and he is never on the lead and always down rabbit holes with my other Terrier, Gibson.

    He IS aero and I was thinking of strapping to the front of my bike during triathlons :)

    He's actually in last years 'Ridley's Believe It Or Not' in the Fantastic Pets section. TBH compared to some of the freaks in there he's quite normal :shock:

    Save the image you want as a .GIFF rather than a .jpg - for this application you get a decent resolution for the tiny size....
    you can then reduce it further...

    But once the image is on your computer as .jpg you can't change it to .GIFF, can you? Or can you :?
