Those are absolute awesome JeffHPFan and Val_Halla! I wish I was more talented with my mouse and Photoshop. Because it's LeakyCon, I think I'll give it a go anyway! There are so so many talented graphic artists here, I can not wait to see what everyone is able to create.

Ok, I'm new to all of this avatar stuff and I need some help!!! Can someone please tell me if you can use one of the avatars in the Leaky Galleries, because I've tried to follow the instructions in the FAQ section on the Lounge, and I just can't get it to work. I keep getting an error message saying "Invalid File Extension" which means nothing to me!!!

Neil in Scotland any of these avatars can be used by any of the members. If you need help figuring out how to use an avatar please feel free to visit the avatar help thread where there is lots of advice for how to get your avatar working!

Thanks Kimmy!

Here's what I got:

Well I just wanted to let anyone who was interested in making LeakyCon avatars, that this week's Icontest features LeakyCon avatars!

Interested? Check out the thread here!

If you do plan on entering this challenge, do NOT post your avatar in this thread until the results are up. This will lead to your disqualification.

I'm so excited about this contest...there's so many graphics gurus here! I *might* even wipe the dust off my Corel Paint Pro program and give it a whirl! GOOD LUCK...cant' wait to see 'em.

p.s. don't forget to follow 'da rules!

I hope I am allowed to do this, but since this is the LC avatar thread and Kimmy let you know about the contest, well, voting is now up here! (<-- Click) There are some really cool avatars, so go vote!

Well the results for the challenge are now up here!
Here is my submission:

Kimmy, I loved that avatar. I might have to use it in the future. Here were my submissions:

Here's my second place contribution. Would have been better, but my old monitor did not allow me to see that the text was not as clear as I thought it was.

Those are GREAT! I love 'em!! Well done, everyone. I'm always so envious of avi makers... I'm clueless.

Feel free to use it, and if you want, to also link to the registration page. The coding will look like this:
