.It says that the picture I'm trying to upload is too big, how do I reduce the size of the image so I can use it as an avatar?
The image must be 100 by 100 pixels and under 10Kb. Download Ulead GIF animator and under the "Optimise" tab reduce the size of the image and it will compress the quality and the size accordingly. You can also use this program to make, resize and add special effects to avatars in GIF format.
Ulead GIF animator 5.0 can be downloaded from
www.download.com and is a 15 day trial.
