Avatar help?
I just joined, and when I try to add my avatar, the error message says "request entity too large". Any tips to get it to work? I'm on a Mac.

Thanks in advance.
We are are part of nature, built from the same stuff as stars, planets, asteroids, and comets. Our protons and neutrons have been around since the earliest times, glued together into heavy elements of long dead ancient suns, blasted out into the universe and resculpted from diffuse interstellar dust clouds by the gentle hand of gravity. When the pattern of atoms known to be you ceases to be, the building blocks will return to the voids of space, and in a billion years or more, they may take their place in another structure so beautiful that a future mind may perceive it to be the work of a god. ~ Brian Cox

Needs to meet the dimension requirements.

RE: Avatar help?
The maximum dimensions are 150 x 150 (width x length).

If you try to add an avatar from a website which is larger than the above dimensions, then you're going to get a message which says that the avatar is too big. I think that's what happened to you. So, you have to find an image whose dimensions are equal to or less than 150 x 150.

But, if you upload an avatar from your computer, then the image will automatically resize to the maximum dimensions allowed for an avatar.

So, save the avatar to your computer and then upload it.

Do you have Paint or something similar?

Load the photo, reduce it to 150 x 150, save it and then save it under another name. Then upload that.

Hrm....I'll see what I can do. Otherwise, the question mark is growing on me. Kind of mysterious...
