dunno, but I see it's a jpg, png's are usually sharper, try that, or if you don't mind less colors even a gif is sharper, but I haven't noticed
any lacking of quality after uploading, maybe they reduce it to a poor quality jpg.

is png allowed for avatars? i thought only jpg and gif?
My jpg's are 68K in size, and uploads are allowed upto 70K... so it shouldn't lower the quality

For me it's working fine. Save in Level 10 JPEG and you'll have no problem. As you can see my avatar held all the details, small fonts and I can tell you it has the same details what is in the original file.
Oh, and maybe you should add an unsharp mask on 110 (Or less), 1, 10, right to your final composition before saving. That can do some miracle.

That's the difference in image size between the two formats.In an avatar maybe, but in other works the PNG is used to be 10 times larger, especially if it's holding the alpha.

Have you tried "optimizing" your image before uploading it.
If you use the correct amount of colours, dithering etc you can keep a better quality image.
I used "image ready" which is part of my Photoshop 6 but later versions come with better optimization functions and a GIF format.
Try a few different settings and choose the one that looks best.
Good luck.

do you use photoshop elements 6?
Mine is elements... and I haven't tried "image ready". Probably because I have a dutch version and it is called different. (but so far i can't find it)
I'll google on it, but that has to be for tomorrow because right now I can't even see straight anymore after 10 h photoshopping... *bleh*
thanks for the tips

If your talking about the avatar you have now, then I don't see anything wrong with it. It's a nice one if you ask me

ah, ok, thanks
hadn't figured that one out yet, lol
I read the guidelines and it said gif and jpg only... so I didn't bother to try a png
