Would like to create an avatar!

But apparently all of my photos are too big. Regardless of how much I crop them, the board won't accept them.

Ditto here. Would like to use my silks but gave up trying long ago.

For me I just used something like this and set it to 80 x 80 pixels and 11 kibibyte

Helps if you include the link haha https://resizeimage.net/

If you want to use your silks, here's an easy way:
1) From your My Stable homepage in the SIM, right click over the image of your silks
2) Select "Copy image address" from the menu options
3) In the Forum, click User Control Panel under your account name, then click the Profile tab, then click Edit Avatar in the left nav menu
4) Select Remote Avatar from the dropdown menu
5) Paste the URL in the Link off-site field (should look something like this: https://www.simhorseracing.com/silks/2460.jpg)
6) Specify 80px by 80px in the Avatar dimensions fields

That's it! You don't have to edit or upload any image files.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone and anyone who has assisted us non-techie minded people to help us negotiate the game! Fanta was always a great one for me, but she’s not the only one to help us along. Thanks much to all of our assistants!
