How the hell do i add a picture?

 

I must confess to being a complete computer numptee and need some help to do my avatar.

I've been into my controls and clicked on the avatar button and selected to choose a picture from my pictures.....no problem.Seleted a picture clicked on update my avatar but it keeps coming back with an error message about it being bigger than the limit set or something like that.

 

Someone please help.

Nick,

 

Your avatar must be no bigger than 90 pixels by 90 pixels in size. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 20 KB.

The following file types are allowed: gif,jpeg,jpg,swf,png

 

You will need to re-size a picture to fit within the above guidelines.

 

Try again

I'd figured that much out Gary but how do i resize the pictures.

There are probably a million diff way to do this, if you have Office Installed you can open the photo in Microsoft Photo Editor and resize from there (Under Image, Resize) or alternatively open in Microsoft Paint and choose Image, Stretch/Skew and just drop the 100% figure down to 50% or something. Not as nice, but it does the job.
