| Hi Kevin, 
 Many half decent graphics / photo editing packages allow the saving of the image as a file. (graphics interchange format)
 
 You should be able to open up the jpeg and "save as" a gif image for uploading into your profile for you avatar.
 
 note the required dimensions 120 pixels wide by 130 high, generates a small but intantly visible image on the site.
 
 If you have a problem saving as a gif image, I'll do it  for you, no probs.
 
 Any body else need help ... the same applies

| The word "gif" has disappeared  ... should read ... 
 "allow the saving of the image as a gif"

| If you are using Windows you can load your picture into Microsoft's "Paint" (under Start Menu / Accessories) and re-save it as a GIF. |  |

| Hey Rik, 
 At a guess you'll need to use something like this :

| If I save a pic from JPEG to GIF the quality of the pic become very bad . As I see a lot of sharp ones on GP3S  I must do something wrong.
 
 Any-one has a clue how to prevent this.
