avatars

how do i shrink my avatar so it'll fit on here?

i realise this is a stupid question as i'm sitting here alone with no real idea how computers work-DOH!

I use a free prog called irfanview.

If you install it, open the picture up go to 'Image' (in menu at top) select 'Resize/Resample' then input the size you want in the box.The maximum avatar size here is 125x125 pixels.
Then save the file and upload as normal.

but it still won't upload?

 

[Boab]

Boab,

What type of image can be used for the avatar? It wont accept jpeg, bitmap, any ideas not sure how to do this, I have resized but cant find a file type that is acceptable.

Cheers

Jpg should be fine, 125x125 pixels and under 100kb in size I think.

If using Win XP search Micsft for a power tool (can't remember name), is free and great but does not work on Vista.
In Vista I go into my photos and right click and I have the option to resize enter 125 as pixel size.

GIMP is a good program.
