Can't seem to upload an avatar, help?

[Truth2Tell]

Posted this in another thread, but since I'm kickin it in da Lounge today I figure I might as well start another one:

I can't seem to upload an avatar. I have jpgs and gifs that are the right dimensions... but no matter how small I shrink them, when I check the "properties" they say "size: 1.5k" (or 2k, or whatever) and "size on disk: 4k", whatever that means. And then I get an error when I try to upload. I can't seem to get "size on disk" below 4k, and nothing will upload.


The upload page suggests asking for help in the Lounge. Can anyone help?

10. right click on the picture

in Omphaloskepsis' message (#5) save it to your hard drive. When the uploader asks for the file point to it. Should work.

8. So I just put it in my signature.

I suppose that works just as well until I figure out the avatar upload. :)
