Avatar help

Well Tis the Chrismas season and i really want to get a new avatar. I found my perfect christmas ghoul picture and it cant get it work. Anyone know a way to fix this problem. When i load it up via upload or link it says too large or not an avatar. Here is the picture. http://th06.deviantart.com/fs22/300W/f/2008/028/e/f/Evil_Santa_by_Black_Charizard.jpg

You need to resize your avatar within the maximum dimensions allowed for avatars (200px height, 150px width). :-) You can do this using any standard image editor, or an online image editor like Pixlr.

Resized it for you. http://s420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/guardianangel98/?action=view&current=Evil_Santa_by_Black_Charizardresize.jpg

Next time after youve saved the picture on your hard drive find the file, right click on it and click edit. That should take you to the MSpaint screen (assuming you have paint). If you go to Image and then Stretch/Skew you can continue to reduce the size till its in the appropriate pixel size. To do that enter a number lower then 100 in the paths of height and width (This one was 55% on both sizes I think). If you need to check the size go to image again and click attributes

Ill keep it up on my photobucket for you for a week or so before I take it down
