lindasewsit 111 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi all! Hey, how do I get my avatar back up? When I went to my edit, the browse came up and I went to my pictures and picked one, but it kept saying that my picture was too big. I have never had trouble before posting pictures from "my pictures" in my computer. They have always just posted, without any problem with the size. I don't know how to change the size. thanks!

ffq-lar 3,625 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I was finally able to post an avatar after 7 years! Where do you have your photos stored? I had to re-size to 640x480 pixels and then half that before the photo would post. This is from photos saved to my Desktop. Myrna Ficken 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Busy Quilting 442 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Linda it has to be less than 50 kb. I have all my photos stored on my computer so just need to browse to change them. Anette D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lindasewsit 111 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 LindaR, I have my pics stored in "my pictures" on my computer. That is where I have always gotten them from to post on here. I haven't tried to post just a picture on a post with the new forum, but for my avatar pic it keeps coming up saying too big. I don't know how to make it smaller Quote Link to post Share on other sites
witha'K'quilting 333 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 use a program, like Paint, and resize the photo. then save it and use the image that is 50kb or smaller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ffq-lar 3,625 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi Linda. Go to your photos and pull up the one you want to post. Click on the photo to make it full screen. Go to the top and click on "image". Scroll to "resize/sample" and click. When you see your size options click on 640 X 480 and OK it. Again at the top click on "file" and scroll down to "save as" and click. This is where you rename the newly-sized photo to find again. Rename it something easy like myquilt1 and save. It should now be in the same folder as the rest of your photos. I hope this works for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
