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

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?!?!

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!!
