Ive been trying to get an avatar up on this forum, and no matter how hard I try, and I'm hoping im not the only with this problem, it WONT let me, I've tried to follow the pixel size issue, but then it says its too many MB big :evil:

I'm not impressed at all, and is there some kind of guide how to get around this?

Yeah, shrink the size of your image more until it's an acceptable file size, or use a program like Paint.net and save it in current size and just degrade it until it fits the file size

GIFs or JPGs are the way to go for that.

Exactly the problems I had when I first tried. It's really annoying.

PNG also works.

A good program for this sort of stuff is Irfanview. Its freeware and, if you download a plugin, you can set an images size in terms of kb (instead of by resolution), as well as adjust the quality of the file save (unlike MSpaint where its take it or leave it)

Wish there would be a greater limit to avatar size, that way I could put Deletraz's wiggling as an avatar.

There we go, I'm not going to even consider changing it.
Not through patriotism, the whole uploading saga was a fricking nightmare.

Glad you sorted that out. Username, flag - are you Welsh by any chance? No?

I've been trying to get a Tom Pryce in a Token picture, but to no avail, the Dragon was the last resort.

Thanks very much, I did'nt expect that, If If i did ask for someone to make one for me I was expecting a resounding "Do It Yourself", If that IS for my use Nuppiz thanks very much.

Yep, go ahead and put it as your avatar
