I am trying to add an avatar that is a /gif and that is 4.63 KB and 106 pixels wide by 160 pixels tall, resolution is 96 dpi.

I tried using both IE 7.0.5730.11 and Firefox 2.0.0.8

This was not the first image I tried, but this one is one I edited in every way I could think of to fit whatever issue it might be.

This is no biggie, just interested in what I am forgetting to do.

worked this time same image each time...now I have to remeber what I really wanted
