It means it may not be a larger file than 6 kilobites. (kb) Yes... it is that tiny.

Would be nice if I could use my old forum picture. Apparently it's 10 pixels too tall, and 10 pixels too fat.

I didn't want to say out loud that I thought you gained 10 pixels.

It is clear that we need to restrict Rambling's avatar pixel cupcake intake. He is starting to get overpixel.

Re: How to put your profile pic on?
Just for you, rounded the restrictions up to a neat 100x100.The Rambling Midget wrote:Would be nice if I could use my old forum picture. Apparently it's 10 pixels too tall, and 10 pixels too fat.
And the file size max is now around 15k.

Yeesh. Try googling an image resizer? If all else fails, google images has a wide selection of 90x90 panda icons.

Download paint.net. It's a free bare-bones photoshop, perfect for simple stuff. Like resizing.

I tried to downsample the gif, make it smaller and lots of other stuff. It just seems I won't get below 15kb with 18 frames in a gif-file :-/

Re: How to put your profile pic on?
I imagine they generally would be a bigger file than a normal picture, since they move and stuff. (Shamelessly knows nothing.)
Re: How to put your profile pic on?
I got my gif I wanted to use below 15(14.9 exactly), and once uploaded it wasn't animated. Does anyone know how to get animated gif avatars?
