I want to ask about the size on a picture that I want to put in my avatar, or whatever it calls, I tried to put in my picture but it didn't work because it was too big. Then how the hell am I gonna get it smaller? It's quite difficult to me to understand ^^ I know what MB means but MiB? I don't hear a clock ringing anywhere in my head..

MiB is the same thing as MB or Megabyte.

The size it asks for is pixel X and Y and if they match they go for the size (weight) of the file.

Hum, that was easy to understand x)

Who uses MiB instead of MB? Did weirdos do the programming?

Don't wanna be a wise-ass, but MiB= Men in Black

But it's a pity there's a limit in the amount of pixels. I mean, now I have to find an image that matches the right amount. Isn't there a way to upload any picture, but with some kind of tool that corrects the size in the forum? Now I have to use that crappy thing I have now.

Or is there any way to make the images smaller, without cutting in the image itself (like I do with paint in the guess the cover game)?

If I made the programming there would be such thing that resized the image and reduces the "weight" of it aswell to the proper values and sizes.

But I did not so we just have to stick with it

You can upload or add your picture on photobucket. There you can edit and resize your picture.
When I build an avatar myself, I resize it with photoshop. All pictures I take from the internet I'm adding to my Photobucket account and resize it there.

Poor me, that didn't maked me wiser

I resized my avatar using the Gimp. Open Source programme, similar to paint or photoshop I guess. It's very elaborate and takes a lot of work to find out how something works, but seems to work decent so far...

IrfanView. Most simple way to do simple things with any kind of pictures.
