Where does it say it's too big? Does the forum say it's too big? You have to make them pretty small. I'm not sure what the forum's requirements are, but I always make mine 100x100 pixels, in .gif format.
Thanks Fawkes, they're superb! I've created a new Avatar_Gallery_by_ FawkesthePhoenix and have put them there for members to use from their User Control Panel.
The current settings for uploading avatar piccies are:
Minimum size of 20 pixels x 20 pixels
Maximum size of 141 x 135 pixels
Maximum filesize of 9.5 Kilobytes
If I upload them they can override these settings though, so I've included "The Girl Who Lived" as an exception.
I've made some too! Gimp's awesome. I'm still trying to figure out how to make animated avatar's but Ive made a few anyhow. Like my current one ? It's one of my favorite Harry Potter slogans.. 'I was all like avada kedavra, and he was all like 'dead''
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I have to put more words in or this post might be counted as spam! That wouldn't be from the movie 'Dude where's my car" would it ?
