This is guide meant for all you noobs out there who can't firgure out how to get an avatar:
1. Find a picture that you want as your avatar ( I would recommend going to google image search.)
2. Right click the image and select properties.
3. Make sure it is either a JPEG or GIMP file.
4. If it is .jpg or .gif then highlight the web address at the bottom of the properties window and copy it.
5. Go to the calcgames forums, click the edit profile button near the top.
6. Scroll down to the avatar URL box. Paste the adsress into it.
7. Now you have an avatar!

Also, make sure the avatar picture you choose is SMALL. It should be as close as possible to your avatar dimensions here so there should be no reason for anyone's avatar to weigh more than 20-25kb. If the pic is too big then you should show some respect to the guys on slow connection and take a few minutes to scale the pic down and drop it onto from free picture hosting website (search google and you'll find quite of lot of these).

Thanks guys.

your avatar URL is not even a valid url. it should start with http:// or ftp://.

Besides, the one you have listed seems to be 1024x768... WAY too big. That's not nice to people who have slow connections.

Yup, that's Samurai Jack if I'm not mistaken. That "anime" if can call that looks very lame. Tho, its meant mostly for kids. No offence to those who like that show. There are some good anime style flicks from USA but pretty much all the good stuff comes from teh Japan. Rabbit pancake looks funny and freaky at the same time tho :).
