Here's a workaround that I've started doing.
Upload your avatar to an image hosting site, and then add an "" link to that "avatar" to the bottom of your post. Result: a makeshift avatar.
[B]Bonus:[/B] I'm not restricted to the draconian 50 x 50 sized avatars on PERB. And, I can still change the "avatar" at will by simply uploading another file with the same name.
[B]Downside:[/B] you have to manually insert the image code with each post (but this extra step just takes a few seconds).
:p :cool:
