Help with avatar

I've uploaded 2 avatar's since on the forum, but don't seem to be able to change it now. I always get the error message about the pixel size. I'm not sure I know what I'm doing, but I reduce the picture down to a low as 5 kb.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong, or what I need to do right?

Thanks!

If you're obiding by the: "an uploadable avatar's width can be no greater than 100 pixels, a height no greater than 125 pixels and a file size no more than 26500 bytes." then it should be fine :)

Make sure its not to big dimension wise

(PS, why would you want to change your avatar :) granny doing the splits is pretty sexy :D)

The old lady is getting heavy on my back!! :smilegrin:

I've got some photo editing software. Should I be able to "resize" a picture there? Is that what makes the 100X125 pixels. See, I'm dumb?!?!

yeah exactly :)

For instance my avatar is currenty 80x75px....

Most photo editing software will let you resize stuff

Well, I've been convertin' and convertin' and even at 75X98px and 22kb, it ain't happinin'?!?!?

I'll keep trying.

I just noticed the avatar I have up is 282X400 px and 22kb???

How'd that happen?? Ha!

I'm confused now. Maybe the old lady used up my next avatar's space?!? Ha!

Yeah!! I got it! I had to get my old Avatar deleted first. I guess I thought it would just replace it.

Thanks, domdino, for the help!!

Lobo, good to see you worked out your avatar problem. Is that Mr. Bean as a baby? :o
