trying to put a photo on my profile and my Avatar? keeps saying file too large, what do I do??

Open up the paint program and open the picture up in there. If you go to tools, stretch/skew you can make it smaller without it getting all distorted and stuff. Make sure you save the original though, just in case you screw up trying to resize, don't wanna ruin your only pic.

Ok, I got the pic down to 15% , but when I hit upload it still comes up too large, should it upload from the "paint"?
