Your pics are fine Carl, don't do yourself an injustice, that's our job, hehe.

I'm with you on the 'glittery' thing. My avatars head has some graphical glitching going on at times, but I guess we're still in beta mode.
I will add one more thing in response to alreno's post about the quality. If you are talking about the difference of the quality of the avatar between the flash and PCEA games, then I thoroughly agree with you, there is a big difference. I'm not saying that the representation of a human being is spot on in PCEA, because I would hope that no one in real life like looks like that, lol, but the sharpness of the avatar image is a lot higher.
The course images look the same as the flash game, as I previously stated, and I would expect them to really, as I am 99% certain they are the same images as used in the flash game.
