Default How do I shrink images??

I want to use an image for my avitar off the web but it says the image is too large. On other forums you can just type in the size you want in pixels, length and width. How do I get an image to 100x100??

You need to use some sort of photo editing software on your PC. This should allow you to resize the image to the number of pixels wide x high you require.

100x100 is the max. It can be smaller or vary height and width (i.e. 75x95)

Any image editing software can do this. If you don't have one go to www.tucows.com and download some shareware image editors and it's easy to scale them down. We do this so they don't take up the whole page!

I used Microsoft Paint (Windows Accessory Application). Just use the Stretch/Skew option found in the Image drop down to make the width and height smaller. Worked for me.

Desperation has always been the mother of invention!

The limits are only there to keep the page loading fast and look good. Imagine if 10 users posted a 50k image avatar! That would be 500k and take a VERY long time to view the page. Also, if it was too big it would skew the tables so we limit it to keep everything humming along nicely and looking good.
