Turning a photo into an avatar

I would like to place a pic of my car as my avatar but can only upload it as a 54kb image. How can I bring it down to suit the limit ?

Upload to your gallery, then once done go and view it in the gallery.

Uploading Pictures

Then copy and paste the "Avatar" link from the boxes underneath the picture into the "Link to off-site avatar" box when editing your profile Smile

Right, I've gone one better, there is now a "Set as my avatar" button in the info panel under images in the gallery. Click this and if you see "Done!" then your forum avatar is changed automatically without the need to copy-and-paste Smile

That sounded like a great idea Martin, but why it's done is kill off the only simple route we had for copy and paste of uploaded forum pictures from Apple iPad or phone Rolling Eyes

Mr H this is what I do, go to the image, tap on the avatar line, select all and copy, go back to the topic, tap the img button paste in the link, tap img again.

Then to get the full size picture delete the words avatar_ from the pasted in link Thumbs Up

Err, can I just say in my defence that I had absolutely no idea that it was being used for that?

I'll look into this selection issue again but can I stress that Apple have made it very difficult to do this easily.

Right, I believe I have FINALLY cracked this for iPad/iPhone and the fields, when tapped, will now correctly highlight and pop up the Cut/Copy/Paste controls on those devices.
