    here's a nice, free, app for images (including resizing) and it doesn't use much memory unlike some of the larger applications.
    IrfanView

    Steps are simple for resizing:
    1. use the file -> open and select your image / picture, or drag an that image/ pic into the application itself.
    2. click Image -> Resize/Resample
    3. change the Width (and as long as the Preserve aspect ratio is checked) the Height will change automatically.
    4. click OK.
    5. do a File -> Save as and give it a new name. Poof, you're done.

    Adjust the size based on the size requirements for the icons (which I think they put in their announcement for icon upload day). If the requirements are a certain pixel by pixel size and smaller than > some kb size (ex. 10k or 10kb), then double check the size of your icon you just created by re-opening it in IrfanView, and then:
    1. click Image -> Information
    2. note the Disk size amount.
    3. If you need to adjust the size of the image down, then follow steps 2-4 and save the file and double-check the Information Disk size again.

    If anyone can post the icon requirements, I don't mind helping folks resizing icons either.

    Does the icon have to be less than 100 x 100 pixels?
    Is there a limit to the overall kb size of the image?

    EDIT TO ADD: I think they want you stay under 20 kb, might be 15???

    click on the profile box, then scroll down to the bottom to "Upload your own icon". The icon must be 100 x 100 pixels or less and 10 kb or less.

    hi Mark. Are you getting error when you try to upload this? It's showing that it is 100x100 pixels and less than 10k, this should meet the guidelines.

    That's good, you don't need to resize it.

    Just checking how it would look without the black border???

    EDIT TO ADD: YUK!!!

    Here's one more try.


    EDIT AGAIN: Losing pic quality, oh well ?




    ANOTHER EDIT: Ladder, I agree it looks better without the border, to bad I can't get the thing from degrading???

    Hooray... I totally missed out on the last couple... but now I finally have the same user icon I use everywhere else. Woot!

    When is icon upload day anyway? The 15th of every month? And why is that? I mean, would Collector's Universe come to a halt if people could upload an icon some other time? I bet it's some sort of mystery... or ancient curse.

    Unless the 15th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, then it's either the Friday before or the Monday after.
