it states it should be between 75x75 and 100x100. I myself noticed it is hard to find avatars I want to use of that size. could the forum automatically resize the avatar?

Look in the gallery section. I added 2700 avatar images.

Or simply resize the image you like in Photoshop, Photostudio or similar, or send it to me and I'll resize it and send it back.

Imma noob. I dun know how.

Photoshop:

1. open image in photoshop
2. Image > Image size
3. Set 100x100 pixels
4. OK > Save
5. ???
6. Profit

My current one is ~400 x 300. It gives you the option when you're changing it to resize it in the profile

This bothers me to the death... when i try to post something...

Before the forumswap - One could post as big screens as they wanted..

Post a clickable thumbnail instead.

I did that on purpose. I got very annoyed by people posting big screens from slow sites.

Animated GIFs tend to open as layers or frames so, when you resize the image, it affects all of the animation. Then you just save or export it as animated GIF. So no it doesn't screw up the animation, unless you change the frame times, which you would only do if you want to have fewer or more frames.

I use paint too.

Either
1) Manually crop the photo down to just what is needed.
2) Upload the Photo to something like Photobucket.com where you can get a direct link to, and it's free.
3) In Paint go to the Menu "Image" and select "Attributes" and set it to 800x600, the units is in Pixels by default. That will show you how much space you can use for your picture and also crop it down to that size if currently larger (based on the top-left corner).

omg do I have to make a photobucket account? *headbashing to a wall*

There's plenty of host-your-image-free sites besides Photobucket. I don't know if they require an account, however.

The forum can automatically resize. You just tell it what size you want it to shrink to.
