Cant get Avator small enough to put up?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

When you copy and paste the URL into the third line in your profile, right above the box SHOW GALLERY , it should work!

See how I changed mine very quickly. Be sure you delete any existing one you may have.

Failing that, call me, I'll walk you through it..I'm here until 4:30 am so call anytime.

Hey, I think it's finally working for me! I've tried so many times before. This info was helpful. Merci!
Now I just need to get a fishing pic up there!

You should have it down to 80 x 80 pixels according to FH rules. Unfortunately, Myfishingpictures' thumbnails are larger, not much but they are. There are many programs, even free ones that can do this for you. Depending on the version of Microsoft you're using, you can do it through the "paint" software.

If you can't find a free one, let me know. I can send you a copy of the one I use tomorrow. It's very simple once you use it a few times. I'll be happy to run you through it. I'm working right now :!: :shock: Oops :!: Supposed to be working right now :!:

Thanks RJ, Wall-I-Guy and Wolfe........I finally got it. Too bad my Tylesaurus picture looks less fearful now that it's so small! It was as close as I could get to a genuine "Trexellunge."

Hi all, I use a slick little shareware program called Media Resizer. Very straightforward and you get all kinds of neat little options to play with like rounding the corners of your jpeg and shadowing them and whatnot. Give 'er a try...
