It needs to be under 7 KB.

Disclaimer: Ryan Smith said I'm wrong and the limit is actually 25 KB

As of right now the only way I can figure out is to hire James Cameron. Otherwise we're screwed

I can't even find where i'm supposed to change it.

Top menu.

Just found it - Avatar wasn't showing originally.

It won't accept my new one when I click ok. Probably the file size as mentioned above.

Lamboats.

Mine will not change. I have it under 25 KB.

Any app to convert to GIF (online ones, too) should be able to get it down in size.

Or upload it to tinypic or other host and I'll do it for you when I get home.

I had to pick one that was 8 KB. I have one that is 24 but will not take.

mine won't even upload??

what hell?

is there a specific file format it wants?

 

[RichUK]

Mine was 5.27KB after editing (I resized it), perhaps that's why it worked.

Thanks for the offer. I'm away from my computer. I'll find an online converter.

Google it?

Used a totally different pic for my avatar, and decreased its quality so that it'll be around 7 KB... and it worked!

I used your suggestion and stuck with around 7 KB for the file size (quality got compromised, but whatevs).

I found that anything over 7 is rejected.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Holy carp. It uploaded! Thought it had failed again. Just a placeholder really.

How do we know you aren't?
Didn't he have a wife that died, Catherine or something? Maybe we could call you that.

I converted my 14KB .jpg one to .gif and it actually went up 1KB so the idea that converting it to .gif will reduce file size ain't exactly foolproof..
