If you would like to have a jazzier, animated picture on your registered nickname, just register and go to personal settings--> avatar options--> there is a blank URL link where you can choose your free animated gif/ jpg from and paste the link there, then choose the dimensions (what u can do is to right click the gif and see the dimensions ie: 50 x 50 pixels), the type in the same dimensions, and VIOLA, you get your new avatar!
Have fun!! :laugh:
