It's hardly very bushcrafty but was hoping someone could tell me how to shrink a picture to use as an avatar. Bit of a technophobe when it comes to such things!!

Have a look in User CP or whatever it is called these days. You can upload the picture from your 'puter and it automatically does it for you.
Don't think it resizes it for you.....
If you can email it to me I'll have a go at squishing it
Well, the burning ring of fire was bigger than that, and I didn't do anything other than stick it on the site through the browse option in avatars.
Must be a new feature... I had to have several goes at tweaking mine to get it to fit the size restriction
(though that was a while ago, before the big makeover)

Download this resizing tool.. http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm You have to select custom size and then you can make your picture go down to a 100x100 pixel size..
Looks like Spam's right!
the pony was 1924 x 1924 pixels and 262 KB when I uploaded it
now, where did I store my old avatar

Next question!
OK, how come you're posting in threads when according to my screen you're not online ???
Because of my before now unknown Double O status.

... and there was i thinking you'd turned on 'invisible mode' in the user CP
Not quite the same problem:
I can resize the image (although reading the thread that don't sound like it's important) and I've tried different file formats but I keep getting the same message:
Error occurred during the moving of the uploaded file.
Any ideas?

Not sure if it was user error or what, however I have options on my profile which I swear weren't there before, and one of them is edit avatar (the page I was trying to do it on before I nw can't find) and it appears to have worked - this the first post scince uploading...
Thanks for your assistance everyone.
