From NeoWiki - Wiki on Neoseeker

An avatar is a small image that each member on Neoseeker is allowed to have. This image can be used by other members to identify you by differentiating your posts by image rather than user name.

[edit] Restrictions

Avatars must be:

65 x 65 pixels or smaller
No greater than 20kb in file size
Only a .gif, .jpeg(jpg), or .png image format.
Not in violation of questionable content rule outlined in the forum wide rules of etiquette and behavior

[edit] Changing Your Avatar

To change your avatar, follow the profile link, and then go to Edit User Bio/ Picture. Scroll down and you will see a 'Browse' button. This will allow you to search your computer for your avatar, and then upload it. Unlike Signature images, avatars do not need to be uploaded to a web host (e.g. Photobucket, Imageshack) before being viewed on Neoseeker.

The avatar updating feature has now been improved. This means you will get to see your avatar change from the old to the new almost instantly, rather than having to refresh the page.

[edit] Resizing Your Avatar

Members have the option to upload bigger avatars than the standard size (anywhere from 65x65 to 100x100) and it will automatically resize down to the maximum of 65x65. This gives people the opportunity to create more detailed avatars without any loss, with the notable exception of an animated gif.

[edit] Removing Your Avatar

You used to be able to remove your avatar by uploading a PNG image for an avatar, due to a bug. However, PNG avatars are now allowed and thus, PNG avatars show now. The tool for removing one's avatar is now done by the simple means of a "delete avatar" button when editing one's profile.
