I have a MS Paint picture I wanna put as my avatar, but the forum thingy won't let me download it in. If I can't get a MS Paint picture as my avatar, what can I get for an avatar (e.i. what pictures can I put as an avatar & how)?

Try making sure the file (I use .png) is 100x100 pixels or less, and that it is not over 9.77 kilobytes.
And make sure you're doing that in the right page.

Specifically, in MSPaint:
  • In the Image menu, choose Attributes, and set the width and height to 100. Any bigger, and the forum won't let you use it. You can also resize the image by clicking-and-dragging the handle in the bottom right of the image, but this window lets you get the size exact.
  • When you save, go to the File menu and choose Save As, then drop down the "Files of type" selector and choose PNG.

Thanks for the help! I now have a MS Paint avatar (but you may have noticed for the last few days).
