I want to use my photo as my avitar...How do I do that? Everytime I scale it down, it still rejects it..... Crying or Very sad

My avitar is scalled down to 100 X 130 pixels. How small have you scaled your photo down? Get it down to no more than 100 pixels wide and that should work.

is it 100, I thought it was lower, like 80.

Ok. I tried that and its still rejecting it. So I went in and did one like MaryNH and its not letting me do that either. Just a box with a red X in it....

Sam,
Where do you have the photo posted on-line. Post the link in a message or try posting the photo in the body of a message and look at the preview to see if it shows.

Ok Lets try this experiment. Here is the link where I uploaded your photo:
http://home.flash.net/~jdebess/Photos/sam.jpg
Copy this link then go to your Auspet Profile page and enter the above link into the avitar box. Lets see if that works.

Sara,
Send me the pic in an email to
jdebessonet@eng.hctx.net and I will re-size it for you and send it right back. It only takes me about 10 seconds to do so.

It's tempting but I don't have any good pics of me online...or I would too...LOL...

Sam,
No problem keeping the one that works linked to my web site.
A good site that you might try is called Photobucket at:
http://www.photobucket.com
It's another free site where you can upload and share photos.
