Hi!
I had this problem too - right click on the pic and select edit. it should open in 'paint' or something similar.
In this program go to the 'image' menu and select strech/skew.
THen by trial and error you can shrink the image in %'s to the correct size (keep checking in 'attributes'

Hope this makes sense, I've attached the link to my original enquiry - someone else's explanation may make more sense?

Hi babe
In MS paint go to image,
then select stretch and skew,
in the stretch section reduce the size in percentage . so if your pic is 1200x960 reduce it by 50% for example and it will stay in proportion .. Do this until you are happy with the size.. the safe as and then upload........
For avatars:
Go to attributes, there click on pixels as measurement, then type in the above box 70x70 click ok......safe as, then upload........that should do it..........
