You can resize your AR15 image using this program:

http://www.gifworks.com/

but it may come out with too little detail. Give it a try anyhow!

first resize it with the windows picture editor. that will reduce the picture down to the 80x80 pixel size limit and still keep it to scale. then use the gifworx program and reduce the color palett to get it down to the 6k size limit. gif is nice cuz it shows you what the picture looks like and the corresponding file size for each reduction

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i tried for a half hour to change it to a .gif format and i dont think my computer will let me, and trying to resize it wasnt working too well... well... just when i thought i maye have had it figured out a circut breaker in my house popped and shut off my computer. maybe the guys on AR15.com have a pic of an AR15 i can steal from them, but i want a pic of MINE!! otherwise Mil1ion sent me a loink to the perfect avatar... but its not gun related

Send your pic to me using the reply to the e-mail I sent & I'll resize it.

or

Create a Avatar only album and upload that pic.

Then click forum codes & copy the Thumbnail Code to paste in your avatar upload window in your profile.

Create an Avatar album in your gallery .
Upload that image from your computer to that Special Avatar album

Then Go the the pic you want and copy the *forum code* for the THUMBNAIL image.
Then post it in your avatar link.

well i finly got the pictures in my gallery but when i try to insert the image to the avatar using the thumbnail code i always get an errer on page.im i doing somthing wrong.

Mil1ion · #11 (**permalink**) 10-28-2005, 10:45 PM

Probably.

The code is wrong.

I forgot to mention, you may have to remove the coding.

Try [url] instead of [img].

Or just remove the code altogether.

davethecow · #12 (**permalink**) 10-28-2005, 10:50 PM

if i remove the code altogether what do I put in?

Mil1ion · #13 (**permalink**) 10-29-2005, 01:23 AM

Remove the http: code in the window and paste the forum code for that thumbnail

It's been a while since I did it, I'm going by memory

I tried the same thing and I still get the error message- cannot find .... and so on. I have tried adding the url= phrase and deleting the http phrase and still no luck. Any ideas?
