Hi everyone. I'm a new member to this forum. I've been trying to insert an avatar pix to my profile but haven't been able to because of size limits. Can someone please advise me as to what I need to do on my end to enable me to do it. Thx.

Tave, resize it to a maximum of 800 on the longest side.

No luck Gary. I reduced it to 640x480 (4x3). Must be doing something wrong. I'm using my Samsung S4 for the pix. I tried something from my gallery and live shot.

Welcome to the forum.

If you go to the user control panel, then "profile", then the "edit avatar" page you will read where it says that the avatar can't exceed 80 pixels in any dimension. So reduce it to that or below that. Obviously any fine details will be lost.

I apologize, I said 800 but obviously meant 80. Hopefully you'll get it working in spite of my mistake! :)
