Making our pictures as avatars

Well, Jeff was most gracious and made a picture of me down to 80 x 80 pixels. So I go to do it, even though Wader still has'nt done his, and it won't let me. Now a message comes back saying it must be smaller than 6 kb. This is over my head as to why I get it down to the right pixels and it still won't take
Any ideas as to what to try next?

Come on guys, we all need to get moving on this. I form one want to see if everybody is as I pictured

rock & roll, there's a very useful post by Janelle in the 'Curiosity' thread and it might be the resolution that's the problem. I'm guessing if you reduce the resolution then the file size will reduce. This is Janelle's post:

For Avatars you take take any photo file on your computer, open it in whatever photo editing program you have, go to resize and choose pixels versus inches, etc. Size must be no higher or wider than 80 pixels. Reduce the resolution if you can to 72 dpi. Save the file as xavatar.jpg/gif and then go to Profile at the top of the page on Cpaptalk.com. This will open up your Profile. Scroll down to nearly the bottom of the page and there will be a window where you can browse your C drive to find the file (you DO remember where you saved it, right?), click on that and it will show the file path in the window. Scroll further down and click Submit and that's all there is to it.

ps, I thought that was your photo

Boo!

Dunno who started it, but I like it
