How do you guys get your pics to fit within the size limits???

All the pics I try are just too big...

Thanks!

Use your Microsoft Paint program, and edit the picture until it is the right size, which I believe is 80 x 80 pixels.

I suck..... :confused:

This website will do it for you right on the site. You just put in the dimensions, which I think have to be 50 X 50. Do not upload from another site, but save the picture to your hard drive and load it from there.

I am having that same problem as well....I just end somehow cropping it and making it smaller and smaller until it fitted..But it changed the quality of the pic :(

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. (Hint: I don't have kids.)

I shrunk mine (that doesn't sound good) and it went from a nice clear pic to what looks like something I made with crayons. Oh well.

TheMP5guy, well dude I can't really do much better outside of what icecoldblueyes has done, without seriously getting into it. The photo is just really bad quality, lol. I found some more pics of MP5's and related objects. I down sized them. Not sure if you like any of them, but I thought I would post them to see if you did. Sorry I could not help more.

If you do like some of these, like I said they are already downsized, so they should fit right into the Avator spot.

I have many that I use on the motorcycle board I frequent. I switch them up as my mood changes, or just get bored with the old one.

Your WWII avatar kicks ***...I saved it.

I had same problem went looking for avatars but only found a few I liked and they were to big and my photoshop doesn't like to resize animated avatars. So I went to an avatar site http://www.iconator.com and found all different kinds

Do you have animation shop with Photoshop? You can resize them with that. I have Paintshop and it came with that. If you don't, you can send them to me and I'll resize them for you.

Yeah I have a few but couldnt get them done cause my adobe hates it I'll try and upload them here and see what you can do

Here ya go. The cop44 file is not animated though. It is two identical frames. Unless something got cut out in the upload or download of it.

Awesome TY!!! I even had the hubby try and he said it wouldnt work. 7 years of web design and couldn't do a simple gif lol :rolleyes:
