Several questions about putting an Avatar on a profile. What can the Avatar be...a photo from our computers? Or something else? I have tried to add a photo, and it wouldn't load, saying the size was too large. I keep trying with smaller file sizes, and no luck.
Thanks for your help!!!

Cjae...go to and use ( dont have to join anything) .........tinypic.com
then do browse
find pic ...in puter/ on puter etc
then click it
it will jump to tinypic

Before click upload
change the size
click it to thumbnail
after ti loads

then copy and paste the IMG code into the avatar space or you might need the Url code for url space....
best to do this with two screens up at same time so can flip back and forth in case one or the other doesnt work..

Carole:
I went to http://www.resizeyourimage.com/ and then uploaded an image from the desktop
then entered 90 X 90 for the size, then resized it, saved again to desktop and uploaded.
Hope that helps as an option

Perfect avatar for you Pat. I was thinking of a leprechaun, but the one you chose is quite magical and deep.

Thank you brokenheart, pegan, and butterfly for your help. I found a cool photo on the tinypic website, but couldn't get it to load. I liked the pics they had on that site, so will probably try that again sometime.
Ended up trying the resize your image site and put in a tree photo I had just taken and now I have an avatar.

It has to be set at 90x90. You probably need to make it smaller. Let me know how you get on.
