Currently the limitation for avatars is 6kb and 80 x 80 pixels. Unfortunately, that eliminates about 99.9% of all the pictures to choose from, and I don't have a program on my 'puter that can resize images.
Is there no automatic resizing feature so the pic displayed will only be a certain size? Plus if it's a URL, TH doesn't even host the pic.
There are lots of cool avatars I'd use, but I cannot find a single one that I can use here. _________________ "Your mind is your kingdom; that's where you exist" |

Microsoft Photo Editor has the capability to resize the picture .... it's in the form of a percentage. This comes with Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Paint has the capability as well .. comes with Windows and this one allows you to skew the picture also. _________________ Bb - Yamaha Xeno 8335RGS

...and, folk like me with old, slow, rural dial-up access only appreciate the smaller files and faster (relatively, of course) load times! _________________ Don Herman/Monument, CO

It will resize and do a lot more.

I did use that avatar that you made for me. It's less than 12KB and 72 X 72, but when I try to use it, I get the same message telling me the limitations?! _________________ "Your mind is your kingdom; that's where you exist" |

I've been using all different size avatars and they just get resized automatically provided the file size isn't over the limit. (ie. my last avatar was 48x48) |

Many Thanks,
