If it’s not an animated gif just a picture then upload it here, in a post and I’ll resize it for you.

Just re-size the picture in your photo editing software
If it is animated open the file and take a few frames out

If your running xp use the microsoft photo editor, upload a pic you want to use and then click image, then resize, then save, then upload it. This one was twice the size.

MUMMIBOO · 10-10-2005, 15:13

Thank you,

This is the right size now, altered the colours a touch as well and sharpened

K.S.H · 10-10-2005, 15:32

Ooops, might have been a little too tall the last one, try this

Just found an easier way to do these avatars if anyone else is interested.
When you post a picture on the forum it always shows a thumbnail of it below your post, the thumbnail version always comes out at 100pix on the longest side, if you right click over this image then save it to your pc you have the picture at the right size. Its not the best way of doing it as some I have tried come out at 3kb (Hornbill pictures) but still look OK at 100pix wide

I see it worked MUMMIBOO :-)
