Hello, I have started on this forum. It's fun and informative, but I have a major problem with it. It is not letting me upload a avatar! I'll take any advice, as well as pictures less than a 100kb, as that is the size limit. Also, it has to be a JPG.

Thanks for any help.

Remember, for the Hishitarii

If you already have a picture you like open it with Paint. There is an option to resize it by pixels in there.

You can also save it to photo bucket and then save the smaller thumbnail picture. That works rather well.

Just find a picture, download it, then open it in paint. Crop it then check the file size. If its say 1000 kb then go to the resize option, click the bit that says "resize by percentage" and click so the image's 10% of its original size. And there y'all go. =P

Yeah for pictures that's how I've done it. But I can't get that to work with animated images and so I use the method I mentioned for those

Thank you for all the help! All of the advice, especially this one, helped. Thanks again!
