it might be, i know you have to have pics approved before you have made 5 posts so avatar might be the same. even after 5 posts they need to be approved the first time then it's ok after that. the avatar pics need to be no more than 80x80 pixels i think too

is your file size within the limits because if not it won't work?

just a bit

I think it has to be something like 80 x 80 pixels max and a max of 20kb or something. your pic exceeds that by several thousand pixels and kilobytes

clairestortoise · 23-01-2010, 04:15 PM

I dont understand sizes lol...kb's and MB's my hubby has tried to explain it all to me but it doesnt digest lol... I think i have done it now, files were just over 1Mb

it says

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

can you upload your pic to tinypic? www.tinypic.com ,if so I could resize it for you probably if you can upload it and give me the link. all web pics should really be reduced to 72dpi because any more than that and it makes no difference to the quality, only makes a difference if printing the pic
