BC,
I re-read my original post and would also like to say that it sounds a lot harsher than Ï intended. Sometimes one person (here: you) receives a volley because others has asked the same question several times before. Please accept my apologies and welcome to what normally is one of he friendlier forums on the web (hehe, like I've checked 'em all out

).
Fishbowl,
Ecellent avatar improvement! Made me think a bit. Is that a 3D rendering? Couldn't you put a green background (somewhere inbetween the two forum greens) when you render it and then make the part that is white right now transparent?
YT,
Great avatar idea (See above). Still like the subtle animation on yours too.
