I just use ImageShack® - Image Hosting. It automatically resizes photos for avatars when you upload them etc.

[nicko]

Just pm minux LOL, he will be more than happy to do it. Wont you minux

[tivoom]

thanx for the tip nicko but im one of these blokes that likes to learn cos i hate reliying on people plus i can pass my knowledge on to other newbies

[nicko]

OK then, maybe try joining up to imageshack or photobucket

then upload your photo into your account on either of the sites

They will allow you to resize your photo and then you can save a copy of that resized image to your computer

then you should be able to upload it into your avatar

[tivoom]

tryed that was the problem this is y i hate computers give me a gas axe and a hammer any day lol

[nicko]

Can could try opening the file in photoshop then reducing the file quality....

[tivoom]
