picture on profile/signature

[Kiki]

alright, I'm a premium member now and I'm trying to figure out how to get my picture I've selected, to post on the left of my message, under my name?
I've also tried to figure out how to get it to post under my signature by putting the URL in my signature box, yet it won't come up.

Please help!

Ok, since sigs are being talked about here I figure I'll throw this in...

Whenever I edit my sig, going thru CP, and I click that button "edit and preview with signiture editor" nothing happens, I just get taken to an empty blue page.
Does that happen to everyone? Or does it just not like me?

After all the love and time I give to you, blue crack, this is how you repay me?!







Maybe I'll see if it works in a different browser....

Oh, I'm confused.

I want to make my own avatar, and I used a program to resize them to 72x72 pixels, but they can't be larger than ... what is it - 7000 bytes?

How do I change the file size of my pictures? They're all the right pixel size, but way too big, size-wise. They're anywhere from 10.8 kb, 15 kb, some are 4.06 kb.



Edit: Okay, so Lisa Simpson was small enough, so I know that 2.something kb is still under 7000 bytes.

What does 7000 bytes translate to, kilobyte-wise?

 

[Sicy]

7kb.

If you use Photoshop do save for web and then you can adjust the kb size as well.

I have some cheapo photo editing program that came with my computer ... I'll see if I can save at a lower quality or something.

Thanks, Sicy!

If not you could always send em to me and I can do them real quick.

 

[Galeongirl]

or just save them with paint, that usually reduces the filesize enough, and with the low pixels you don't see much loss in quality...

 

[corianderstem]

My program did allow me to save at a lower quality, and I can only see a difference with one or two of them. Whoot! Thanks!
