DELETED
I use Photoshop. You lose a lot of details when you shrink a picture down that far, so choose a picture with large areas of color (palm tree w/ocean, for example) rather than faces. Once I have my picture 50x50 I often use the "sharpen" filter to kick it up a little bit.
If you want to upload a bigger avatar, like I did, then you need to make it about 75 x 75 pixels and upload it to wherever you have server space (Kodak Gallery or Picasa for instance). Then link to it on your Profile page where it says: "Link to off-site Avatar: Enter the URL of the location containing the Avatar image you wish to link to."
I hope that helps!
P.S. Mary Beth - we were posting at the same time. You know about avatars! Look how good you always do!

UGH!
Why am I having so much trouble adding a new avatar photo from Photobucket? I am pasting the IMG code in the box that says Upload Avatar from a URL and it gives me a message that the photo has to be a jpeg, gif or png.
The photo is a jpeg!!! Here is the code:
What am I doing wrong???
