ok, maybe that's the wrong place where to start this thread.

BUT i'm having some problems on uploading my own avatar... Maybe it's because of my newbieness, but... how can I do? I tried resizing the image but it didn't work!

Could be a problem either with the file not being square or too large a file (in kb).

I´ve resized it and saved it as a 5.65kb JPG:



Try to download it and upload to the forum. If it doesn't work, let me know.

Chris beat me to it

Cool. Thanks everyone, I did it!
Unfortunately, the avatar has to be square.. the original photo was much better!

again, thanks a lot to everyone!

Hm, must have done it subconciously - I´m always terribly irritated if an avatar is NOT looking at the posting text (or directly at the reader)!

I'm exactly the same, as long as the picture isn't a gif (sometimes even if it is) I try to get it so that it is looking "into the page."

Annoys me no end when I find a forum that for some sick disturbed reason puts the poster information on the right hand side of the screen and I have to swap a picture back the other way.

, but doc holliday is a outlander, so he has to look... far from us! 

[Hammers]

Could it be that teh software doesn't allow for images of Val Kilmer to be uploaded?! [thumbsup emoticon]

[Plynkes]

Doc Holiday is a dentist, so should really be looking straight down your throat (and asking if you want the scale and polish).

Help I am having the same trouble uploading an Avatar
I thought it was about time I got my own.
I tried to upload this picture

But no joy.
I have tried the things mentioned above.
Any ideas

Sorry as you will see to the side I have managed to stop being stupid and get it to work. It was 2 pix out of size
