Size limit for avatars?
« on: December 21, 2009, 05:35:46 PM »
New to the forum and trying to upload my own photo as an avatar. I can choose it (40K) from my desktop, but it doesn't appear. Any tips? Thanks.

Thanks but using Mac. I have no problem resizing the pic in Photoshop, just don't know what the limits are on pixels, files size.

Looks like the pixel dimension limits are around 120x120.

You said, any tips?
So, it seemed a bit like you needed help with resizing too.   ;)
Don't all Mac people need some sort of help?   :D

Thank you. That was the trick. And saving for web which got the file size down to 5K.

And all Mac people do need help. :) Ironic that all my IT guys have iPhones though. :)

NO, Bert!

By the way, is that a zip file?

I click {I have my own pic} and use a link from my photobucket. doesn't matter the size then.
everything I say is pure speculation and
I have no idea what I'm talking about  ._.
