-- Posted by Moonscar at 3:36 pm on June 28, 2009 I want to put an avatar up for my account on Livewire. I can't though because the maximum KB for avatars is 5kb. No matter how small I make the picture it's still 21 kb so it won't upload. Help?   -- Posted by RIMHfire at 3:36 pm on June 28, 2009 Change the format? And .AVI is a video file, what the hell are you doing? -- Posted by marshmellowman at 3:37 pm on June 28, 2009 AVI files are video files, you can't upload those anyway. You can just upload the photo to your Image Basket and then use the avatarise function and that will do it for you. -- Posted by The Big M M at 3:38 pm on June 28, 2009 avi= video file= failure -- Posted by Moonscar at 3:38 pm on June 28, 2009 I meant avi as in short for avatar   -- Posted by Moonscar at 3:39 pm on June 28, 2009 Quote: from marshmellowman at 3:37 pm on June 28, 2009 AVI files are video files, you can't upload those anyway.

Where's the avatarise function? -- Posted by anonomouse at 2:02 am on June 29, 2009 You have to make it smaller on your computer... Photoshop usually has pretty good filters that will control file size, etc. Also try different formats (i.e. png vs. jpg vs. gif all have different sizes).
