I have this picture. In Picture Manager I have cropped it to 86x107 and compressed the size to 3.84 (email setting) How come it won't load another question: How come some avatars are so big on the topic pages?

You probably aren't saving it properly (not enough jpeg compression or an embedded profile that is bloating the filesize). Try this with 125 pixels max size (landscape) or 150 pixels max size (portrait): http://www.shrinkpictures.com/

I tried this. It shows a photo of 130x142 at 6k I save it to MY Pictures and it shows up there as 130x 142 at 67+ k I use the Save Picture As on the right click something about the save that fails.

Instead of downloading the pic you resized online, right click on the pic to get the url, copy the link to your clipboard, then go to your profile and paste the link in the "Upload Avatar from a URL:" field. If that doesn't work, email the original pic to admin@nwhikers.net

I have an unrelated avatar question... How is it that some people have multiple avatars, where each new post has a different avatar shown? Example Given: Slugman
