hi, I'm a new member and hate to gripe but the avatar I have used for numerous other boards is deemed unsuitable due to size here:

"The submitted avatar is 408 pixels wide and 306 pixels high. Avatars must be at least 50 pixels wide and 50 pixels high, but no larger than 150 pixels wide and 200 pixels high."

I think this is a little overboard, why not just have a max size? Now I have to go online and find a site to redo my photo, I would rather be surfing the forum here instead !!

UPDATE
Now I have just spent 15 minutes on a website trying to resize my avatar without distorting the photo. The program wants to choose 160 by 150 @ 50% but your website wont accept it because its 10 over. I reduced it by 75% and now can barely see it.............

lol i understand. Can you post a link to the original picture? i be happy to check it out and set it up for you.

if its on FB or somewhere else just post a link to it

I just set it by size and not % works better. so in paint just change to 150 pixels wide and that should work ok

I did it in paint, as well as an online website; you have to select both height & width, the size that paint selects for you (non - distorted) is 10 pixels over your limit) when I make it smaller it distorts the photo- see attached.
I ended up just loading a very very small jpeg as the avatar. That is the only option that worked

also where is the new topic button in the camaro garage forum??
thanks
