You should update the thread title to 'Added another 20' so people know. Those are just great calamity. Some I have no idea what storm they are, but all are awesome. Thanks. :D

OK, I was bored so I decided to update the avatars. As if there aren't enough, lol. There's quite a big selection—131 avatars total. :eek:

That's Hurricane Andrew. I also questioned it. This is the original picture:

Silly question who do you load one of those aviators in place of the one I have. I tried it by copying and pasteing and it doesn't work.

A lot of time the listed "size of image" isn't fully accurate if you download the entire thumbnail. I have several I'd like to use, that are as low a 9KB, but when I browse the computer, and put the cursor on the JPEG, it still comes out as 18KB... so it won't cut it. If I reduce it any more, the pixel size makes it so small it's ridiculous. I'm pretty good with multi-media; but picture reduction for avatars just isn't one of 'em.

Boca, right click the image you want and then click 'save picture as' and then save it to your computer. Then you want to go into your profile here and go to the bottom area for avatars and right beside upload avatar from your machine, click browse. Find the picture you just saved and hit open and then click submit. :D

In case you haven’t been keeping up, they have been updated. Here are some of the newer ones if you don’t want to scroll through them all (165 images/ 2.02 mb):
