Quick question about avatars... I've got one in mind, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the size of the image file small enough for it to upload properly. How do you all manage to have avatars that have the right dimensions and are small enough in size to upload? I can attach the image to a post or something if needed, but I have a feeling my problem has a hilariously simple solution that I just haven't though of.
I personally find a picture that I like and scale it down using the Microsoft Office picture editor which came included in the Microsoft Office Suite. They go over the how-to's in the FAQ's. Here is the thread to request an avatar that you cannot upload yourself:

If you find an image that you need scaled down, you can shoot me the link and I'll be more than happy to scale it down for you, and re-upload it. Anyhoo, here's the official "Welcome To Musicbanter" jist:
