    Ok so obviously you need to be a subscriber to avail of this (or become one!) but I will christmafy your avatar, for free, if you make a request here.

    I've already been blamed for turning Bluewolf into Rudolph and blasting The Mad Hatter in the face with snowballs and a carrot so be warned, it will be holly jolly, bitches.

    Wouldn't it be just dandy if boards.ie let all users get a Christmas hat on their avatars for free?

    I think that it would be a spiffing idea and it would make me like boards even more than I do already.

    :)

    the one being used right now [avatar170178_7.gif] is not of a transparent background,so guessing the .png has gone the same way as well.

    what program is being used?

    GIMP is the handiest and no way no as processor intensive as photoshop is.

    Slightly OT but in line with a comment made on this thread - wouldn't it be great if Boards ran a Christmas competition with free subscriptions as prizes. I get a free one and an Overhead avatar for thinking of it, as unfortunately in these recessionary days days Santa always has to come before me. Story of my sex life. :D
