Stupid Avatar Question...

[exquizid]

Ahem...I repeat, I am not a clueless computer user...not that there's anything wrong with that...
I use Photobucket...and when I tried to resize my picture for an avatar, I used the 'avatar resize' function, and it was still ridiculously too big.
Help me show my LG15 nerd face on the internet and admit to my ARG fetishes!
Argh.
Please and thank you.

Yeah...Photobucket sucks like that..Use another video hosting site...there are a ton...Ummm I think Imageshack works..in any event you should be able to find another.. OR..size the picture on your computer and then put it in the bucket and it should work.

exquizid, I use Photobucket too. Don't bother with the "avatar resize" function -- I just used the regular resize function. Somewhere on the LG15 site (I think it may be in FAQ, but can't swear to it), there's a suggestion re: avatar sizes. Find that message and plug the suggested sizes into the Photobucket function. You should be fine then.

On this forum, avatar is supposed to be no larger than 80x80 but it does allow larger files so I don't know how they monitor this. I resized in Photoshop than uploades to tinypic.com.
