Okay, I just joined the BSSC and now I have a new toy. I get to post an avatar. Unfortunately, I lost a bet so I have Peyton Manning there now. Anyway, my problem is this. I found pics I wanted to use as my avatar but it wouldn't let me use them. First, I right-clicked on a pic and copied and pasted the link from the properties but it wouldn't let me on most (it did for manning) because the size. Then, I saved the pic on my computer but it wouldn't let me use that because it was in a bmp format and I don't know how the hell to save it any other way. Help!!!!!!
You can use any imaging softwhare to do that. Whether it be MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop, anything that lets you view photos on your computer should allow you to resize the photo and to 'Save As' a .gif or .jpg. Sometimes with avators or buddy icons it takes a little bit of working in order to get the size and number of pixels right. Hope that helps.
