PK-her0,

If you make a $20 (yearly) donation you can have an avatar that is 65x65 or 30kB.

without donating you're allowed an image of 50x50 pixels, have you already found an avatar you'd like to use? many are fine when re sized and there are lots of free programmes that will do the job for you.

If you need any help sizing an avatar .. or maybe animating one ...
Attach a picture you'd like to work with.
And we need to know if you've donated to support TSG .. or plan to.

Guest members can use 50x50 pixels @19.5KB max
Supporting members can use 65x65 pixels @29.3KB max

could you please enlighten me as to what a "guest member" is ?

I thought you could be one, or the other here at TSG, but not both....

Guest members have NOT donated to support TSG ..
Supporting members have donated to support TSG.

Supporting member's get a little bigger Avatar and do not see all the ads.

maybe I have been wrong all this time then, since I am a member ( a non-donating member, I live in the Netherlands, and I dont trust ANY online payment source) so I try to help out here as much as I am qualified to do.., and I always thought a guest was someone visiting the TSG website, viewing post's but not signing up as a member of this website

When my wife came back from her visit in Florida, a few months back, she returned with some spare U.S. Dollars, and I am thinking about simply getting Mikes mailing address, and popping some cash in an envelope, and mailing it to him, so that I can become a "member" instead of a "guest member"

Relax Noyb, Im just yanking your chain, but I do think its important that folks realize there no such thing as a "guest member"here at TSG

Well there is no such thing as a guest member, if you're a guest, you're not a member.

If you donate $20.00 or more, you become a premium member as opposed to a free member, as you can see on the donate page. You will also find a snail mail address there for Mike to send in donations for those who prefer not to use the on-line options.

Don't ever send cash thru mail, get a money order.
