Hi folks,
This may be a bit bass ackwards, but here's a no-brainer way to make an avatar if you have a gallery at PrestoPhoto. You don't need to resize, save for web or any of that stuff.
Upload the picture that you want to use as your avatar. Don't worry about sizing it. After it's in place in your gallery, click on the thumbnail, which will take you to that image on its own page. Under the image are viewing options which offer different sizes. One of these sizes is "avatar". Choose that, save the image to wherever, e.g. "My Pictures". By default it will be called "avatar.jpg"
Now go to your Forum Control Panel, get into your profile, "edit avatar" and upload the one you just downloaded from PrestoPhoto.
It's a whole lot easier than it sounds. Trust me.
Have fun,
Steve
