well, hi ladies, i really am still alive. LOL! been busy, and computer issues. i have been doing my workouts. but, last nite, i went riding, and my horse was gettin' a drink out of the tank and almost fell in! he lost his footing and we almost took a swim. he caught himself , but i jerked my arm bad holding on, and aggravated my tennis elbow really bad. so, disc 30 today was mainly done w/my left arm. major drag!!! and, this is the super heavy week. i am so bummed! and, i think i'm kinda burned out on STS. i'm sooooo tired. it is really hard to get thru these workouts. so, if i can get thru the next 2 weeks, i'm done for the year w/STS. i really have been having a hard time keeping my focus. anyway, i did 4ds kickbox yesterday w/the abs and 3 sets of tall box climb. well, gotta go for now. so, ttyl.

How to Create Your Custom Avatar
To create your own avatar for use on the forums, we recommend the following process:
1. Find a photo that has an “uncluttered” or plain background. When the image is reduced in size, it will allow “you” to be the focus of attention and not a busy background.
2. Go to a site that sizes and crops your image to an 80 pixel by 80 pixel square. We recommend http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar/ The interface for this site is clear and simple and you get your desired result easily. Just make sure that you type in “80” where it asks you to “Set the Avatar Size”. This is the maximum size our forum software will accept.
3. After you have chosen the cropping that you like, save the image to your computer where you can easily find it again, such as your desktop.
4. Log in to the Cathe Forums if you haven’t already done so, and click on “User CP” in the light blue menu bar a few inches from the top of the page (it is the first link on the menu bar).
5. Scroll down and in the “Your Control Panel” list on the left side of the page, under “Settings & Options” choose “Edit Avatar.”
6. When the control panel loads, check “Use Custom Avatar” in the “Custom Avatar” box. Go down to “Option 2” and click the “Choose File” button, select your avatar that you created above, then click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the control panel.
7. You now should have the maximum size custom avatar possible for use in the forums. You can check it by looking at a post you have already made, or creating a new post in our forums.

Cathy the only way I know is to contact CatheNation and request a change. I don't remember seeing any other way.
