DDTB is the expert I believe, there are special software tools to reduce photos so you can use them for avatars

I just use Photoshop to resize a pic to the size permitted and adjust resolution accordingly so that it doesn't breach the max KB size.

There is good online image resizer here http://www.resize2mail.com/ which I used to do my avatar.

If you're using windows XP just download the Image Resize Powertoy.... then all you need to do is right click and select what size you want it to be.... nice'n'easy...

Get your powertoys here... roll up! ... roll up!

What is it you are 're-sizing'?

......sweetness!

so Gorrie...how do you do that bad boy that sits with your signature

Maybe time to have a word about sigs...

Gorrie's is about the limit for what I think is fair. Bit big TBH. We don't want this looking like a croooze site with the sigs bigger than the posts - doesn't do anything for those reading at work.

Cool folks?

Agree - also huge text sigs serve feck all purpose (given that we`ll all have read them a lot as its not like there is 10,000posters on here

)

massively agree - i was reading some forum the other day and i spent 10 minutes on one post, mostly trying to find where the body of text actually was!
