Do a search on the internet for one you like then you can either ask Swoj to host it or you can just hot link it straight on.

you can find some avatars here http://www.blackmaxpc.com/avatarsmiles/avasmiles.htmthough a search on google should reveal plenty more sites for this. As for hosting your avatar, I may or may not host it for you, depends what mood I'm in at the time  However, it is not nice to hotlink to people where it can be avoided. thankfully there are ways around this. http://www.imageshack.us/Image Shack is a good site, specialises in image hosting and specically allows hotlinking. Just upload an image and it will then give you a selection of different ways to link to it. there is a filesize limitation, though that it very generous (if you were linking to a 1MB avatar, I'd be asking you to remove it anyway! LOL) Method 1 will provide you for code for standard hotlinking in a forum as below:  second option provides code for linking in HTML Third option gives you a URL for link (nice to link this way so that they can get money from advertising. They are providing free hosting afterall) http://img19.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img19&image=skyline6.jpgfourth option does the same in HTML the fifth option is very nice, provides links to them to view the full image but also provides you with a nice thumbnail as well as below.  However, keep in mind that this forum requires that you have quotation marks around the URL you are linking to, the code provided by Imageshack does not have these. ie. you should have [ URL=" http://img19.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img19&image=skyline6.jpg" ] instead of [ URL= http://img19.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img19&image=skyline6.jpg ]
