You're never going to get it exactly as big as you want it and the site is designed that way on purpose. You need some serious photoshop compression software to get something at least acceptable once you can get a custom avatar.

I tried photoshop but I am not very skilled at it.

when it comes to resizing images, i use IrfanView. it's free do download from the net.

paint.net is a good, cheap (free) alternative

Is that what y'all used for your avatar pics? I'm using something from the site right now that's real close to my Tweety yellow '84...the other one was drawing too many "freakin' muslim" comments... ....you can tell the racing crowd here is pretty thin...DrKillJoy's response avatar was freakin' funny, though. I may try that next.

I just open up the picture i want to re-size in PAINT for windows click on image, then resize, decrease the size till it meats the requirements.

^+1 easiest way to do it on a windows computer, no need to download programs, you just need to use a bit of math to get it sized properly

resize through paint and look at the pixel dimensions in properties.

1) right click on image and open with paint or just click edit
2) click on the "image" pull down up top
3) click on stretch/scew image
4) change the stretch % to lower
5) click "image" pull down
6) click attributes and check pixel size

if your pixel size is not close enough (image i uploaded is 116x116 and website resized it rest of the way down) then just close out of attributes window and hit ctrl+z to undo size, and resize again with different % lower or higher depending.

I've used Paint as well. If you're using Windows it's an easy option for you. Good luck!
