I've got a photo I'd like to use for my avatar and I've followed the guidelines I think.  I've resized it using the crop tool to come close to the recommended pixel sizing and saved to JPEG at every quality level down to 1 and I still get the file too large sign.  What am I missing?

That'd be great!  Can I email it to you?  What size and quality setting?

I appreciate your generous offer to help but I don't know enough about computer stuff to have any idea how to do what you sent me.  I always say I'm an "idiot savant" with the emphasis on idiot when it comes to computers.  I know how to us my email and surf the web, that's about it.  Never grew up with computers being 60 years old.

email it to me, [email protected], in whatever form it came out of the camera in.

alternatively, go to imgur.com, upload the picture by drag and drop, and email me the url.

I posted a return message but in the wrong place.  It's on the forum.

you can also upload it to photobucket http://photobucket.com/ and it will give you a link called img code that you can paste here after upload. OR  just right click on the picture and "SEND TO> MAIL RECIPIENT and Enter My Email address in the top line
