I wanted to have this extraordinarily cool avatar:
But it's too big. What should I do? Can I compress the image in some way?
Or should I just get used to having a COLD GRAY VOID under my username? :(

Here. It's 2285 bytes.
I reduced also its dimensions a bit, since I prefer that :)
(Without resizing, I could still make it 2926 bytes, but I won't give that to you :P)
If you decide to use it, please put it on a server of your own control; do not link to the URL I pasted.

I will!
Original height and width of 80x80 and new size of 5.7k, both within avatar rules (though the 6k rule certainly seems deprecated by this point).
I wasn't able to paste compress it any more than that, but who cares!
Also, it's on image shack, so if you want, just host it from its current location. Boo-yah!
Edit: Come to think of it, what's the point of the 6k rule if images are hosted off-site anyway?
Edit again: Word correction

There are still people on dial-up? Bummer. They should expect slow internet. Or have an image blocker or something.
Oh well, 5.7k is still pretty small and within the rules.

Ok I'm trying to use my typical avatar that I use for a variety of different sites, and after resizing it, it's now 79x77 pixels, and is 4 kb in size. I've tried using tinypic and imageshack, but whenever I try to upload it here, I get the message "Your profile has been updated", but my avatar never shows up. Here's a link for my pic

Anyone know why it won't save?
