Im sure its not just me that has this problem :eureka:

yer i know it would be hard, but it would be great if they could do it :thumbs:
something like 600x500 would be cool but i think thats probably too big

When forums have big avators, it makes the board uneven and a tad messy, so I think thats the reason.

Board Rules: An uploadable avatar's width can be no greater than 150 pixels, a height no greater than 160 pixels and a file size no more than 120000 bytes.

You can use a bigger picture for your avatar, but when you upload it to the site, it will be resized automatically. :thumbs:

Or ..... point me in the direction of the pic you'd like to use and I'll try to resize it for you. :spin:

Yep! :laugh: The banners that I make are 500x100! :bigsmile:

As Kaz said the picture will be resized when you upload it.

The easy way to use a large picture as an avatar is to save it to your computer first - right-click on it and go to 'Save Picture As'.

Then select it next to 'Upload avatar from your computer' in Edit Profile.
