Ummm.. Something must be wrong with me I get a picture I like, I shrink it to 62 by 62 resolution. The file size is about 12k. I try 2 make it my avatar and it tells me file is to large! what am I doing wrong? This is the pic I want,but it is from the internet so it is not shrunk

Save the pic 2 Ur hard drive and try from there However it may B because the pic is deemed as being far 2 violent.

It's not just this picture it happens with any picture I try. I do have them saved on my hard drive.

here how about this one, not violent ...

Okay, here's what to do.

1. Save the picture to your hard drive (right click, save as... etc)

2. Use an image editing tool such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. Resize the image down to around 64 x 64 pixels. Your text will be totally unreadable in that size, so crop out the text and just keep the character.

3. Reduce the number of colours as much as you can, and use a web compression wizard (for example, Paint Shop Pro has an Optimizer wizard that helps you save out .PNG files really small). You should then have a nice small avatar image ready to upload to the Org.

If you have a problem with this, email me and I'll do it for you and email you back the small image.
