Thanks Dutch, Jeff and Lugnutz for the help with my avatar, from what I can see from reading here this change over is a monumental task and you take the time to help with such a trivial thing, all I can say is:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
that is one of the reasons I'm here at SMF, the help and friendliness of all.
There is a person that I'm unfamiliar with apparently working behind the scenes, Cristina7, that sent me a PM with a pic she found on the net that will work for me and even offered to install it as my avatar, THANK YOU Cristina7.
Man, I've never been helped (or felt like I could even ask for help without being flamed) like this anywhere else on the web, SMF is a class act and people friendly, again, THANKS to you Jeff for your kindness and good principles and in all the people working for you.
