Netscape Avatars


     What is a Netscape Avatar?
     It is the little image that accompanies your profile across netscape. Like when you post a story or comment it is placed next to your name.
     It does not matter the formart or size you upload because it will be scaled to Size 33x 45 converted to png format after you upload. So that nice 2200x2200 pixel image you spent hours perfecting will be made smaller and possibly turn out like a black dot.
     If you change your avatar expect for it to take at least 30 minutes to propagate acroos netscape.


     So I been doing some looking. I also took many of the contributers input and this is what I come up with for 1st annual Netscape Avatar awards:

(Don't ask for a Pocket-T Jason is stingy with those.)

Best looking chick avatar

         Karina. Man this was a tough one but she took some good suggestions and got a color photo....now she needs to loan it to second place Brigitte. Briggitte had it till Karina changed her avatar.
         Brigitte grab Alexia and take Karina for some margaritas then snag her camera...it takes color photos. Sorry Ryan you got no votes this time but nice shades.

Cool looking

         citraka. Awesome image and it scaled nicely to the netscape avatar.
         go2web2. This one is just cool and looks nice as an avatar.

Weirdest

         l0ckergn0me.I bet this guy like RSS.

         Sk8er. Crap! A dog that can out skate me.

Most over used / worst avatar

         Yeah lets try to use avatars with a little more umph.
