Hi Patty

Unfortunately, I cannot allow Avatars to be of unlimited size (to do so would result in a “squishing” of the viewable area). However, if you e-mail me the photo you wish to use, I’m happy to resize it and upload it as your avatar.

Cheers,
Mark

Alternatively you may want to download this: http://www.gimp.org/windows/

It's got all the basic photoshop features, but it's Free and open source.

Try this link http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar/

It's pretty simple: upload the image you want to use, set the size to 99, and create. Then download whichever option you like best, probably centre-cropped. You will then need to upload to this site by editing your profile and following the links.

http://www.irfanview.com/ works for me, when viewing your photos in Inranview ya "save as" then an option box comes up beside where ya want to save it. there is a sliding bar for percentage of original >jpg size.
