I see some awsome quilts in some of y'all Avatars and was wondering if there is some way to make them larger for a better look? I tried clicking on the picture without luck. I also looked through the frequently asked questions and didn't find this addressed. Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this works on all computers, but try holding down the CTRL key and pressing the "+". It will be blurry if you make it too big. use the "-" key to go back to original size. This is good for making text bigger if you can't see it, too. There is a thread of people's avatars- do a search. + and - are on the number pad. I just discovered this, can't believe I never knew it before...

One way is to hold down your Control button and scroll the mouse button. I'm sure there are other ways as well.

Thanks for the tips. The ctrl and + worked for me. Should have known to try that, buy never thought of it. Enlarged that cute little quilting bee of Luckylindy's right up! Now to go back and find some of those quilts I wanted to see better.

I know this isn't the exact subject you are discussing, but can anyone tell me how to add those beautiful signatures and the little quotes underneath? I tried creating a signature in Word and copying it into my profile page, but it didn't work.

On my Apple I open the Avatar in a new window then "Command" + to enlarge.

Yes there are sites for signatures, I stumbled across mine and will look for it for you.

Ah, here is the one I used: http://www.mylivesignature.com/
