I went to the User CP and did the edit to upload from my PC (pic was 55.2k). It showed the right picture but when I selected the SAVE option I got 'failed to load' notice. Anyone know why or what I missed? Thanks,

HI

I think the size limit on pics is around 40kb (but I am not sure) so that would explain your failure to upload.

There are several image resizers around the net to download for free if you need one.

Naw, it says 64K is the limit. But...I may be over the pixel size as mine 300x320. I will look at resizing. Thanks,

Picture (File) is too large.

To get it to show up by your name you need to upload it to the Avatar.

One can use the PAINT utility that comes free with Windows to resize.

 

Use the [image] tab and select Stretch/Skew, then stretch to a different size, like 50/50 to be 50% smaller in both width and height. Then save it.

 

You can then check the size by using [image] and selecting attributes.

Thanks Randy, that was the trick. (In Vista64 it is called Resize/Skew).

Settings and Options (3rd section down under CP User), then edit Avatar.

...and don't forget to hit the "save changes" button. Make sure the "don't use avitar" is unchecked. Select the "Use custom avitor" button.

This image resizer works good and is very easy to use.
