You can't upload your avatar directly to this forum. It has to be linked from some image sharing site such as Photobucket, Imageshack, or DeviantArt.
Simply click one of many large upload buttons there after making an account, and then copy and paste the direct link into a little box at the bottom of your options tabs in your User CP area and make sure to click the custom avatar bubble.
Which means, as long as you have internet connection on either, you can upload it to the forum.
I did this, but as you can see, It is huge. Help! I've tried fiddling with photobucket for an hour. Frustrating!:smallfurious:
How big's the file size? And what program are you using?
Well, that problem is fixed, but I now have the problem of it being tiny.
MS Paint is the program I am using. I am so confused.Quote:

Download Inkscape.
I fail to see how that's gonna help him in this situation. <_<Quote:

It allows you to expand the image to any size you'd wish so. Then save it as any format you wish and upload them.Quote:

If you're using Photobucket - as you appear to be doing - upload your original image again, and when you're in the image (on Photobucket) click "Edit -> Resize" (the menu may only come up when you have your mouse over the image itself). There you can enter in the dimensions you want it to be (max 120px), and save it at that size.
What is the average size of an avatar?Quote:
