As can be seen, I'm having trouble getting an image to work for my Avatar. I'm using CorelDraw to export an image as a tif or jpeg format. I'm setting the size to 120 x 120 pixels. Is there another format I should be using, or is there something else I'm doing wrong?

I don't change the pixel size on my avatar images, I just upload em, and they show up the proper size to me.

Only jpg, gif and png are supported for avatars. There are no known problems with the jpeg handling, and it will resize without any complaint if you upload an image that is too large. It must be a real jpeg image (exported properly), so if there is a chance coreldraw is saving in the wrong format and just giving it a .jpg extension then that might explain it. Attach your image to a reply here and I'll double check it.

Hey legoburner, I think I got it! I was exporting a vector image and I assumed it would convert to a bitmap, but it didn't. So I converted it to a bitmap before exporting and this time it seems to have worked. The real jpeg image comment put me on the right track. Thanks for the help!
