Hi everyone,
I'm trying to upload a picture, I've resized the picture to the specifications but I'm still getting the avatar needs to be less then 150 pixels width and 200 pixals height.

Are you resizing it in a photo editing program, or via HTML? If you want me to help with it, you can feel free to put it in photobucket and then copy the IMG line into a reply on here - that will link me to the source image and I can resize and link back.

If you want, that is.

I've also noticed that if you load the avi into something simple like MS Paint and then 'save as' it normally lets you upload the 'new' one just fine.

Err... .gif or .jpg is what I think he means. :)

I think he's just using a somewhat ambiguous abbreviation for the word 'avatar'... ;)

But yes, sometimes there are upload issues with files saved in Photoshop, so loading and re-saving in Paint or some such program might solve the problem.
