I want to post a custom avatar, when i tried to upload my file from my 'my documents' and entered, the following error message popped-up " The upload file is not a valid GIF, JPG, PNG file. Please ensure that it is and try again." My file did end with .......JPG.htm, so I assume it is a JPG file. Thanx.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I have a different problem now, the file format is fixed, but the image is too big, i havn't tried to make it smaller yet. If I have problems i'll post again
Well, the max. size for an avatar is 19.5 kb (300*400 pixels) mine is 30.2 kb (640*420 pixels), any ideas how to shrink the size in windowsXP, thanx.
I think you can open it in Microsoft paint. There, you should be able to resave at a different size/resolution. MS Paint is most likely on your computer or on the Windows OS disk. Or if you have software that came with a digital camera, that will work. Right click on the image, you most likely will see a prompt "Open With" select -drowse for program. Uncheck "always use this program" something like that.
Try this thread. -Darren
Post the pic you want as an avatar on this thread, and I'll fix it and post it for you, then you can use it.
Jeeva, This is a really handy, free Msft tool that will let you right click on the image file and resize it. http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe
My original post was almost a year ago, it's been brought back to life...thanks for the help, but I had figured it by now, I am not that slow
LOL!! I thought you were looking at doing a new avatar. Didn't see the date.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
