How do I format an atavar?

Hmmmm. Got it cut down square and formatted to 100x100, but now the board response is that it is "not a valid file". Wrong file type? Or maybe there's a copyright tag on the file (fair enough, I am ripping off Warhol, who in turn was imitating Munch). Maybe I have to redraw this myself. Or find something else that's legal.

What file type did you use? Try .jpg or .bmp as the type if the file is currently a different type.

It's .bmp, so that shouldn't be a problem. Or does it have to be jpeg?

Yup, you're right. I just re-saved my avatar picture as a .bmp and I couldn't use it. It does work when saved as .jpg.

OK. I'll try the Warhol version again with .jpg later. Meanwhile, this one from today's Norwegian e-newspaper seems to work (there's a trial going on about the theft of the picture).

CONGRATS! You got the avatar posted!!!! Now the fun - resizing and changing out avatars regularly. Although I like the one you have up now.
