How to add a pic. to your profile??

I tried to add a pic. to my overclockers.com profile, but when i tried to upload it, i get an error says the files is to big. That it needs to be less than 100x100. Whats my problem?? I scanned it at the lowest res.

You need to edit the size. I used the software that came with my scanner, and changed the size to 100 x 80, to keep it in proportion. I think you can do this in MS Paint, but didn't do it that way. What do you have for photo editing software? I got MGI PhotoSuite with the scanner. Click on "image" in the toolbar, the "resize" in the drop down menu. May be different in whatever program you have, but it should go somewhat like that.

To stop the Forum Hard Disks filling up w/ just pics of members, Skip decided to limit the size of the pics to 100x100 Pixels. If you scan a 5"x4" photo at 72dpi, that's still 360x288 pixels, which is still way too big.

You need to use the resize option on whatever paint program you use (Don't think M$ Paint has it) to resize the pic so it's less than 100 Pixels wide and 100 pixels deep. Because the Pic i use is taller, I used 100 as the height in Paint Shop Pro, and kept the ratio the same.

FYI my pic of my Cartman Money box is 100x90.

Hey, good job. It's kinda neat when you can "see" who you're talkin' to.
