| | How do you guys get such clear avatar files? When I size pictures down to 80 X 80 pixels, my avatar is really grainy and hard to see. Any tips? | | | |

| | I don't resize. I let Vinocellar auto-resize it for me when I upload it. | |

| | Didn't work. VC came back with "can't upload files larger than 40000 bytes." | | | |

| | Ok, that's about the best you'll get out of that photo. I zoomed in a little, applied some sharpening, etc. | |

| | CWG's looks great Brad. But yours is now bad. You cant edit like that at 72dpi. | | | |

It used to work for me. Guess future uploads will be more complicated for me then. D'oh. | |

| My kitty will beat up your kitty.
I do suppose out of the 1000's of 6.3MP photos I have, I could dumb a few down for a cool avatar. | |

| | I believe that Revlis/Brad put in a size limit on the avatars after I complained about TJ having a 250KByte avatar. I prefer to see smaller avatars as the pages load faster and there is less load on the server meaning we all get faster loading of web pages on Vinocellar. A good deal for everyone. | | | |

| | I was going to mention that, but I wasn't going to blame you skwid! lol. I should've blamed myself because originally there was a limit that I took off for some reason and forgot to put it back! 40,000 is the default. | |

| | THe size of the file is no problem, IMO. Getting the file to downsize used to be as simple as loading it up and the site just sorta auto-dumbed it down for me. Now I just need to go figure out how to use photoshop. | |
