Anyone want to do a Valentine Avatar Contest? Again, we need at least 5 to get it off the ground. Who's in?

We still don't have enough people. We need AT LEAST one more. If we had more, that would be much better.

Well, we can't get enough people so it looks like this is not going to happen unless a few more decide to join.

Well, Valentine's Day is Sunday. The question is do we want to have it done by then? We will need time for people to vote.

The technique I used was to save the required image to a photo folder in my computer, and then change my avatar in Personalized Picture in your Forum Profile.

That was the reason that cause me to struggle last night, I am not technically minded in knowing how to reduced the size of the file. For me eventual image for my avatar, it was a case of seeing an image, saving, then processing it for these boards.

If you're on a computer and happen to have "Microsoft Office Picture Manager", open it with that, then in that program you can use either "Picture->Resize" or else "Picture->Compress Pictures"; either option will allow you to resize your picture.  Certain versions of the old "Paint" accessory will also resize pictures.  Good luck!
