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

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.

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.
