I wish the board allowed PNGs with alpha channels for avatars. I like my avatar fine (ninja with a squeegee, take that!) but it’s jarring on the dark version of the board.

I would like a “special K”. Right now it’s boring. 🙂

I don’t have an Avatar. I’m not even sure how to add one. Still, if it could be done… I’d choose this.

@iiandyiiii I like that. Alternatively, [here’s a couple](https://imgur.com/a/WcRpHT8) from the source image.

It’s much clearer, but the dimensions appear off now and it’s cut off at the edges. Can you assist again?

ooh, can you take out the background from mine? I can probably find a higher-res original if that’s helpful.

What a nice offer! I like my avatar (a pilcrow) but would prefer it to be red, or perhaps the basic backward P in red with the second slash in blue. Is that possible?

I got the pilcrow from Pinterest: [https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/122863896062992741/?d=t&mt=login](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/122863896062992741/?d=t&mt=login)

Ah, crap. They’ve disabled images in PMs, too. ☹  
I have an 830x830 image that’s much clearer.

But — this software allowed me to upload the higher-res image as my avatar. 🙂

So my avatar is already better, just because you posted this thread. Thanks!
