Hmmmm. Can you post a link to the photo here and I'll take a look at it, Ryan. It may be larger than avatar photo file size. The limit for custom avatars is 150 by 150 pixels or 43.9 KB (whichever is smaller).

To give you a point of reference, my current avatar dimension is 150 X 89 and the filesize is 43.3kb.

If you want the ZR-1 neon light for your avatar I can fix you up with a small image.

Chris isn't kidding. I have an alarm on my account set to go off when he posts photos. That way I can fix them quicker. :chuckle

Just kidding, Chris. ;LOL
