    Default JPG Size and Avatar Question

    I'm not so computer savvy, so bear with me. I have several avatars I would like to put in rotation, but Mellophant tells me they are too big and that I have to manually downsize them. I'm on a MacBook. I have no idea how to downsize them. Can anyone help? It this matters, I have them all saved on my desktop.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you don't have a Photoshop or similar image manipulation program handy, there are literally dozens of websites that will do it for free in just a few seconds. Here's one: http://www.picresize.com/. You upload your pic, specify what size you want the final product to be (either in pixels or KB), and then download the resized finished product. Voila!

    THANK YOU! Done.

    ETA: posted too soon. Still says my pic is too big (130x100) despite my changing it to 70 pixels x 100 pixels. Argh. Will upload different avatar.

    Meh. I lack the patience to do this tonight. I keep trying and getting the size wrong (and always it's too big). I'll try again another day.

    If you would like to e-mail them to me at "benjamin1cs at hotmail dot com," I will resize them in a flash and send them back to you.

    <mumbles> well, that's kind of show-offy of you, but ok<mumbles>


    Actually, I'd be grateful. I dunno what it is with me and images here, but I truly suck at it. So, thanks for being such a nice guy. :smile:
