New and have a ?

[highalt]

Hi!

I just joined yesterday, and when I went to load a picture from my computer for my avatar, I keep getting a message that says there's no photo to load, or photo to big. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

i am guessing the photo does exist and you have used it before? how big is the file(kilobyte size)

Bonnie? Welcome. There are some rules on the file size of avatars. I can't recall what the size limits are, but they are pretty small (64X64) seems to stick in my brain, but check out the profile or member section and it should tell you.

I've loaded to Facebook, and Photobucket without any problems. Not sure where to find the file size info on my computer.

Okay, under properties it says 2.17MB. So if that's too big, how do I change the file size?

sorry 100x100 pixels and 50kbs - resize by using Windows Live Photo Gallery if using Windows 7 Here
or Paint Here

I have Windows XP, and there is no Resize option under the Image group.

Will this site allow me to load a picture from Photobucket? I know how to resize there.

 

[midwestchilehead]

Yes it will. In fact, Josh did an awesome tutorial on how to do so.

I had to rescale mine in Photoshop a couple of times before I got it right.

It is a great tutorial! That's how I load them on the GW forums as well. My only ? is that the instructions seem to be for putting a photo within a post, not as an avatar. When I try to add a photo there, it pulls up a browse button to select a file from your hard drive. So not sure how to use the Photobucket option there.
