Now I have been on many BB's and never had an issue with my avatar. I even run my own Newfie board, no problem. So now I feel like a complete dunce.

I got my avatar which looks half the size of everyone elses down to 80x79 but it's at almost 9kb. I always use Paint since it really makes them a small file but for this I have no clue. On our BB we have 80x80 and I had no problem getting mine down to that size.

What am I doing wrong? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

I usually like to use one of my thumbnails from one of the pix on a photo hosting site. I then use the "upload off site avatar" option.

I am not very good and resizing them down to upload straight from the computer myself. :oops: But I'm sure someone will chime in and help you here on that.

Just save your avatar in your paint program "for the web", and you can see what setting to have it at so the kb is small enough.
