I'm not sure how to achieve it. No matter what I try, I don't seem able to get an 80 x 80 image to less than 8k !

I made the max. size of an avatar larger. Now you can have them as large as 150 x 150 pixel and up to 10 k!

Sorry, I should have come back to say I've managed it. Using a second program to convert and reduce the file size.

Thanks just the same tho'.

Yeah, just make sure you're using a smaller file like a .jpg Don't use bitmaps, they tend to be large

Well, I was using Photoshop, and the combination just wasn't working.

I can't remember how I got to it, but I output a BMP from Photoshop, and used Imaging for Windows' to convert that to a JPG. It came out about 3 or 4k less than a JPG direct from Photoshop.

They obviously use the JPG algorithm differently. But it was annoying in Photoshop, the JPG's being just 1k too large!

my avatar won't work...I have it 7k and 50 by 51 pixels... I would have it larger, but I kept making it small in an effort to make it work!

if I have ne even number of pixels by pixels, would that work? what am I doing wrong?

The maximum size is 150 x 150 pixel and up to 10 k, so it should work. Try using the larger size.
