Hope everybody had a WONDERFUL Christmas. I sure did. Need a bit of assistance though. I want to put an avatar next to my profile and I want to use one of my pics. However I am having the hardest time re-sizing my picture. HELP!

I use the Microsoft Photo Editor. I usually make a copy of the photo I want to use and then re-size that photo on the photo editor.

You can do the same kind of thing with Photobucket. Just import the piccie you want to use into an album and then choose either the 'tiny' or 'small' option and copy and paste it into your profile avatar space. If you are still having problems then please let us know and we'll try to help you out further. _________________
