How the hell do I get my avatar to accept a picture i've taken with a digital camera. Everytime i try to load a new pic as my avatar, i get an error that the pic is too big. if i try to reduce it get blurry like my current avatar. Someone help me out, its driving me crazy......

 

when you change your avatar you should see this note:

Some pictures look better than others at that resolution.

 

But how do i get my picture to that resolution? I tried before and it turns out like my current avatar. How did everyone else get theirs to look good?

 

attach the photo to this thread, I'll fix it and attach it back for you

 

-8-

Thanks,

Ill attach it tonite when i get home.

Appreciate the help!

 

I was going to offer the same "service" as -8- did. ;-)

The trick is to first re-sample the image down to the required resolution, then tweek the jpg compression until you dip under the file size limit.

 

If you have photoshop it helps, just letting you know..
