Hello everyone! I am so excited to have joined the group here.
Disney has become such a passion for my family. As I type this, my son is watching our vacation video from this past May at Disney!
Question for you all...while I may be a huge Disney fan, I am no computer genious!
I have paid for the subscription, but still can't get an avatar up. How in the world do you get the size of a picture down so that it will fit?!? I have tried cropping the pics, but by the time its small enough to fit, you can't tell what it is!
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Liz

Okay, I'm no computer genius myself, but try this:

Crop the picture how you want it, then resize it (I had to search around to find the resize button on photoshop.) Resize the picture so it's no more than 150 pixels either way and save it. When you rezise and save, the pixels will look funny in photoshop--don't worry, it usually comes out pretty clearly in the avatar.

Then go to your control panel--avatar and ask to browse your pics. Follow the directions on the screen from there and you should be good to go.

If you are still having trouble, I'm sure one of the real experts can help. :p

llau - If you're still having trouble go ahead and email the picture to me and I'll get it to fit. First crop it to show what you want and I'll handle the resizing.

Send it to wcatherall(at)yahoo.com.
