^ Make them smaller

If you are using photoshop, you can just size them down to 80x80 and then save them as a .bmp file. That will cut it down in size

If you're looking for images on google (like I did) set your search to all small pictures and then look at the information underneath each search result to see if it will work.

Anybody that has photoshop can use the option 'Save for web and devices', which is located under the file menu.

It can make a 50kb file into a 5 kb one, without any really noticeable differences.

Amazing.

If you want you can email the image to me (pm me for an address) and I will make it smaller for you.

I asked this same question one. Seige tried to help but by the time i got in the right requirement you needed a magnifying glass to see the picture. It just became to fustrating so I rest comfortable in the knowledge that most of you are a lot smarter then me when it comes to this stuff. grrrrr.

Being avatarless (I think I just made that word up) has a certain seductive quality to it.

It means the picture you are trying to upload must be a JPG, a GIF or a PNG file, and it probably isn't. It might be a BMP or a TIF, so you need to convert it.

Assuming you're not familiar with file extensions (the dot blah after a file name) then what you should probably do is open the picture you want as an avatar in a programme like MS Paint and then re-save it as a JPG.
