Hey guys I got a picture from my cell phone I would like to use as my avatar but when I tried it would not work. Too large in MB or something? Is there a way I can like compress it or something to be a avatar pic? Thanks guys!

You can use any graphics program (even MS Paint) to resize the image and then re-host the image online.

Save the image as a .jpg for a smaller file size as well.

If you want to, download Gimp (image program), which I have heard is pretty good and it is also free.

Ah got it. Used photobucket to change the size of the picture to a small one lol. Yay spiderman cake picture... ftw!

Very nice
