Poor anny seems to be the only one without an avatar !
The trouble is, I do like to ring the changes, and I've used up the only three of my favourite pictures that just happened to turn out the right size when I put them into the computer.
Can anyone explain to me - in words of one syllable - how to convert something with too many pixel things into something small enough to be acceptable as an avatar ?
Thanks,
anny.

PS. Sorry, just realised that this should probably have been put
on 'Site Help '.

I had the same problem Annie and ended up trawling through Google Images. Found some lovely ones but they were just too big.

Hi Annie

I open my pictures on computer with MS Photo Editor, then go to RESIZE PICTURE and go to about 80%, lol then i go back and see if it is within the size limits.

Does that make sense??!!

Lmao , it does to me!!?!

Hi anny,

If you wish too, please email it to me and I will resize it for you.

Kindest regards.

A very kind offer, Jon, and I might take you up on that.
I'll choose one and try to send it to you.
And Loz - it doesn't, actually, make an awful lot of sense to me at the moment, but you know what I'm like, and when I've thought about it a bit and and looked into it, I'm sure it will, and thank you very much for your suggestion.

Hi Anny,

You are not the only one without an avatar.
