Habsterr Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Tried the above. Won't work.. Says my pic is too large. What can I do? HELP!!!....please thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 ok... here's the bare-bones method. Open "Paint" (it's in start->accessories) open your picture click on image->stretch/skew now you can 'stretch' the picture smaller by putting in a number smaller than 100 (just make sure to stretch horizontal and vertical by the same amount, or else it won't look right). Once it's small enough (you can eyeball it against avatars that are on the site), save it to a new filename. Now load it into imageshack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsterr Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Thanks Simonus. I just tried that but afraid again I got "too large". I checked the specs and it says 160X120. Is that still too big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think you might want to get that 160 down a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Every new member should get a How-To tutorial email on anything that is frequently asked like avatars. Might be a pain to set up, but it might save sakiqc the tedium of saying it again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakiqc Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Originally posted by Trizzak Originally posted by TheBigRedCHow do you post? LOL, yeah because I think it was BigRed in my example.. "ya, k, k, ok.." hehe Good idea about the tutorial. It'd be time consuming though. Still, there's lot of answers in the "About HW / Help / Suggestions / Introductions" sub-forum. Pretty much everything on this board is basic anyways. If someone has a question, I hope he isn't affraid to ask it on this sub-forum, or email one of the mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
