avatar photo file size too big

[Jim]

Can anyone tell me how to put a photo as an avatar? I always get "file size to big" even though some of the forumers photos look as big as mine?

Av no bigger than 3kb . Check properties on av`s to see if ok.

I know the file size possible.All I need is the ability to shrink my picture file size so it will fit.I cant work out how all the other forum members have managed it?

Hey Sam...u alrite hun?

Get the original pic and crop to the size u want using a photoshop thingy and then to get it onto an avatar by going on www.photobucket.com and that will automatically make it the right size of file (no actual size of photo)...so u can then use it...hope that made some sence!
