I decided to use the avatar that I created for another board and use it here. It was 50x50 but as soon as I posted I noticed it got resized to 65x75.
So I guess it's safe to say that no matter what size avatar you use it will be resized to a 65x75 "standard".
If I want to make the car the "original" size I suppose I'll have to make it over again on a 65x75 background.
Life must be perfect if this is all I worry about

It's only January.
There are many more pointless threads to come.

actually it's a car, a Ford Prefect in fact. There is a very long story that goes along with it but this thread is already pointless enough

It looks like you've already resized it, but for future reference, you can open it in Paint and you'll see a little box in the bottom right corner of the image. Click on that and you can drag the background. Since you're already using a white background, that would be all that's required. Of course, you can stretch with the resizing tool.

Actually I used Animation Shop 3 to edit it as it was more than just a resize.
The original avatar was created for a board that limits avatar size to 50x50 and has either a white or grey background for your message (they alternate colours).
Due to the two coloured backgrounds it looks better if you make the image with a transparent background.
Axiom was taking the 50x50 and resizing up to 65x75 and frankly the artwork didn't appreciate that at all .
I simply created a new gif with a transparent background at 65x75 and cut and pasted the frames in from the 50x50 gif.
That then gave me the car at it's original size but on a larger background. I then deleted a few frames that weren't required and then altered the timing of the "lights on full" frame.
It's fun to do but makes no sense when you explain it.

I still say it looks like a hoseless gas pump flanked by two diamond-studded jumbo avocados resting on a couple black soda bottle caps.
