Any reason why I can't upload a custom avatar?

The avatar thing needs to auto shrink a file. If it is 100x50 and hosted on another site. The website should auto shrink it. I can't use my domo becuase its 64x68

Right now all avatars are on hold, due to the security issues... They should be back here soon, but im not real sure... Cant take any chances with the hackers still lurking

it's 64x64...

Just crop the picture to that size, and you can use it. Besides, even if you try to upload a bigger picture, you'll get a nasty message saying your picture is too big... :)

You can if you have the right software. If you have photoshop, you should have ImageReady, which should work just fine.

yeah.. there was this easy free gif animator called www gif animator that allowed you to edit gifs.

however, it must also meet a byte size requirement. If your animation is long, it may be too big.

The byte size req. is pretty big, it's just the size that's a killer.
