Okay, I'm not the smartest when it comes to these kinds of things, but how do you get a picture that you like to be your avatar? I have a cool picture with Drake and Mimring facing off, but I can't figure how to resize it to fit the criterea. It's like a 400+kb.

It's kind of a lame question, but dog-on-it, I want a neat picture like everyone else, darn it!

Thanks in advance, I'm off to bed now.

No, he said, "I'll get one for you!!" not, "I've got one for you!!"

In any event, when GB starts assigning avatars, it just gets hilarious.
:D

Hahma, (though you should stick with whatever Grungeboobs comes up with) open the avatar you want to use with MSPaint and then shrink it using 'Stretch/Skew' from the 'Image' menu, until it is of the appropriate dimensions. If you email the file to me, happy to do it for you.

Dont you think you could change your avatar to a more... demure one than nudity+bodypaint?
There are youngsters on here afterall.

Thanks guys for your help. I followed Toddrew's advice regarding using MS Paint. The only thing is that the image isn't as clear as it was before shrinking it, but oh well. It was like 3x bigger before and I guess it loses something when adjusted like that.

Now that I know how to do it, I may change it if I find something better.

Thanks Grungebob for the offer to provide me one, by the way, nice eyes :shock:

Off to work soon, see ya around.
