Sorry if this is off-topic, but is there anyone out there that can give me SIMPLE instructions on how to add an avatar onto my forum profile? I finally found a decent photo of me on a bike, when I tried to add it, the system said the photo was too big. I resized to "best for web"-too big. jpeg-too big. bpeg-too big. I don't even know what the hell jpeg and bpeg are, big they are too big to fit onto this forum.
I should mention that I'm a computer moron.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The quick and dirty solution is to open the picture in MS Paint, Edit->Select All, then Image-> Stretch/Skew. Shrink it about 75% in both directions to start with, save it with a different file name, and repeat as needed.

SIMPLE artmichalek, SIMPLE. OK, thanks. I'll try that. Actually, I think I'll go find a third-grader to help with this. Being computer illiterate is hard. Now, where's the damn SEND button?!😠
I can't even edit right. -
It depends on what graphics program you are using. The easiest way is to change page size and set it to 80 x 80 pixels (which should be an option), then just drag the image bigger or smaller to fit best, then save it.

You guys are going to think I'm pitiful, but I'm not even sure how to reduce it to 80 x 80.
Maybe I should stick with Fred Flintstone. -

What program are you trying to use?
