Okay I sent the .gif to my documents, but when I try to load it from there I get a message from the tech guy telling me that it cant do that and the max is 20000 bytes.
It should work, but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong

I was hoping I would not have to re-invent the wheel.
As long as I'm in the stupid mode (we can all enjoy the moment), but like in properties under the general tab it says 424 bytes (8192 bytes used) does that help?

That should get your byte size and image (dimension) size down to spec. Check your file properties to make sure, I had to do it several times.
Save it again.
Upload (per instruction in User CP) your shiny new avatar.
Help you any?

#12 | If you don't have a photo editor prog, you should be able to convert it in MS Paint, or in an empty browser window using IExplore. Just drag it in there, File, Save As.
