      well...you are not setting an avatar pic...those are over by your name. That pic is like a signature pic. It needs to be sized if you want to leave it. I do not know how to do the banners and such that others have. If you just want a pic in you sig....you need to use a service like photo bucket to size it and then link it.

          I understand the new thing...but you cant just through a full size pic in a sig....you need to make that. You are probably just using the wrong link for the avatar. I will see if I can remember how to do that one.

              you need to choose a smaller size in photo bucket for the pic size. Please do not leave the pic there when you see it is huge like that.

                  Ah, just mess with Photobucket some more. You'll figure it out.
                  Is the fail download you speak of, is that when you are trying to load to this site?
                  Usually the fail message is because the pic is to big.
                  480 x 620 is the largest that should be loaded.
                  Good luck!

                    For the Avatar pic it must be 80x80 or smaller. Should be able to resize it using photobucket, I think they even have a preset size you can use for it that is already 80x80 specifically for avatars.

                      save it to computer and resize in paint --> image tab --> stretch\skew --> under stretch put in like 50%, if still to big do the same thing until desired size then save then upload to photobucket.

                        I use photobucket and Irfanview. I like Irfan view for resizing pics. It's a free download program...pretty easy to use.
