Uploading new Avatar

Redshift

Poster Extraordinaire
Whenever I try to upload a new avatar, I get a "resize" message, even though it fits between the required parameters. If I try to use a remote avatar (i.e. photobucket), it doesn't insert it. Is there anything going on in the forum internals? It worked b4, but not now. Any Ideas?
 
avatar is an image that you choose to define your player name. It will appear under a player's name when they post. You've seen a few of them.....normally mine is a Reaper but has now (annoyingly) disappeared.

BMP files are disgusting huge compared to other image formats. Sometimes you want this, but generally, jpg/png or whatever else is a better choice. Convert to that and you should be fine.

Well, it's easy to explain. Open up an image in MS Paint (start > program files > accesories > paint), go to the file menu and click "save as" When you pick an image name, below that there's a drop down box for the format. Click it and select "jpg."

If you have a more highpowered program like paint shop pro, it's pretty much the same process.
