Just a quick reminder of
the rules for a second. As you should know, the maximum size of avatars is 120x120 pixels. If you're linking to a rather large picture, the forum does run a script that resizes the picture. However, it only seems to go by height. So if you're using a picture that's taller than it is wide, after the resize your picture will still be too tall. Some of you have probably already heard this from me in a PM.
So after you select your picture, just do me a favor and right click it and check its dimensions. If it's a little bit taller than 120, that's not too big a problem. But if it's height is 150 or more, you should resize the picture yourself.
