to see if my avatar works

[anaphase]

hrm. don't see it. does mine work?

edited to add: guess so. :)

Tri: nope it's not working

Ana: cute avatar!

actually Tri you don't need to start a test thread to see if it's there, just find a thread you've posted to. Once you get your avatar attached, it'll automatically attach itself to all your postings!!

Hey Tri -
Maybe the image you tried to upload was too large. I actually had to shrink mine quite a bit until it fit in the allowed size noted on the edit avatar page of "100 x 100 pixels or 9.9 KB (whichever is smaller)".

I think mine was too big :( I have no idea how to shrink, I am computer challenged when it comes to that stuff :D

I have no idea how to shrink...

I used Adobe Photoshop Elements, but that is not a free program. I just did a search, and it looks like you can resize pictures with Irfanview, which is free.

Here's the Irfanview site where you can download the program: http://www.irfanview.com/.

And here's a link to an article on resizing photos with Irfanview: http://wiki.ehow.com/Easily-Shrink-the-Size-of-a-Digital-Photo.

Hopefully these will help - but ask if you run into problems!

what Denise said Tri: I got Infranview on someone else's recommendation here on the board and found it very easy to use. I was able to resize all my pixs - both those pulled off webpages and photos.
