I have been trying to post an Avatar photo and a personal photo for quite a while. I have reduced the size to what the site says is acceptable. HOWEVER I still get an error message saying the pic is too large to handle. Now here is the REALLY weird part...there is a blurb that says the site has an AUTOMATIC RESIZER and it will handle whatever you send it. Huh?? Since when...where is the "on" switch. No luck at all...yet I can add pics to my posts. Sumpin' ain't right here. Any help or ideas???????? TIA

I had to keep playing with mine to get it to under 120x120 and the kb restriction. It took many tries.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply...I guess it takes a while for the site to recognize the Avatar is the right size. Forget the "automatic" feature eh??

there should be a way to link this site to Gravatar, a site i use to change my avatars on Battle Log for Battlefield 3 game.

Really simple to use

Thanks for everyone's input and opinions...I just went with a "pre-packaged" avatar seeing as I have a guitar that almost matches it perfectly. They really need to fix this site's features...JMO

If you right click on your photo, while it is still on your computer, a menu will pop up, click "edit" this should open the photo in "paint" program. In Paint select "resize" and then switch the selection dot to "pixels", change the larger dimension to 120, the smaller one will change, in the proper proportion, automatically. Save file to your desktop then upload to your profile... done
