Deli, you should get some standard attys for your reos for times like this. Then you can use your reos too when your throat is sore.

Hope you start feeling better soon. Summer colds are the pitts.

That's a good idea.... all my atties are 1.5 hot stuff :D

Positive. I even opened the image up and checked the pixels = 200 x 168. Its over 20kb but that didn't make a difference on my last two avatars

They must have changed something fairly recently that forces avatars (even ones hosted offsite) to adhere more strictly to the file size limitations. I changed mine a few times and could never get it back to the original one because I couldn't get the file size down enough, even though I'd used it before under the same posted restrictions. The one I've got now is the only one of maybe 6 attempts that I managed to get under 20kb. Maybe I just need to try a different method of re-sizing . . .

Its weird the same exact file didn't work. In fact the one I did yesterday was over 20kb too.. Hmm must be very recent. I can lower the image quality but that is more intensive using my better graphic editors than the easy Microsoft Paint resize to 200 pixels. :(

Found the advanced editor on the photobucket editing today, used it to lower the quality on my current avi, turned out fine, no extra software needed :D

I'll have to check it out. I wonder if Imageshack has it too.. Honestly its not that much more labor intensive to make the file size smaller, in Photoshop you can just click save for web and adjust the lossy til your file size is right. i just hate opening up photoshop :laugh:

Yeah, Paint is what I've always used for the purpose 'cos it's so easy. Heck, my original avatar is too big to use now, but back then I wasn't a supporting member so had a 5kb limit and it worked fine as long as I hosted it offsite :lol:

paint is way easier

Was honestly thinking of reverting to an older version of it because it was quicker
