    user avatars

    I notice most forums I use everybody has their own personal avatar because it makes it easy to tell who is who during back and forth on a thread. I was trying to add an avatar but it said it had to be 0-14 KiB so I made the photo smaller (100 pixels x 100 pixels) and it still said it was to large. I am guessing this is why barely anyone has an avatar. I think it might just be a DEU but long story short I was wondering how to add a avatar... if that is ok

    You can resize it using an image program on your computer. Paintbrush works fine if you have windows...

    Hey urbanfarmer...apparently your method didn't work...your's isn't showing at all.

    and what about your's WAbedroomponics...nada either!


    Don't forget that the format you save a graphic in can change the size of it such as .jpg, .gif, .png etc.

    In all actuality, it was the fault of the *&^$#R@T%^& that hacked our forum and trashed everything. So, what's your point, I re-instated mine....get up off it and git-er-dun

    JCO- why not make the allowance of avatar size a tad larger and allow a bigger file? Photobucket has a feature to allow you to re-size a picture to avatar, but our site won't accept the result.

    I didn't set the size myself. It is set by the software and I assumed it was standard because graphics take up a lot of space on a hard drive and it is the software that almost all forums use. Additionally, I had no problem uploading my avatar, however you tell me what size you think it should be and I will change it.
