Yep, I think it's finally time for a new avatar, but when I find one I like..it's too big. The URL for the one I'm thinking of using is
www-personal.umich.edu/~fazzari/Amber/T ... ct3-sm.jpg
How do I make it smaller, since my profile thingy keeps saying it's too big!

Yup. At the risk of giving Vain yet more to do around here, he shrunk pix for Taiga and me, so we now have our avatars.

Just as a general info thing, the way I usually shrink my pics is by opening them up with MS Paint, pick "Image" on the top, "Stretch/Skew" and then use the percentage thing to shrink it. (current image size) * (percentage of horizontal and vertical) = (Avatar Size). So if the image you have is, say, 250 (the larger one being more important) by 150 it'd plug in as 250x=100, so you'd want to make the percentage 40% (for both dimensions otherwise it gets squished looking). Save the new image and there you go.
Of course, even though I get the image to the acceptable size (pixels and file size), it still usually doesn't work, so I have to bug Vain anyway.
