Could some1 do me a huge favor and resize a pic for me to use as an avatar. It says it needs to be less then 75X75 pixels and I am not so good with puters and have no kind of paint exp

I cant even figure out how to put it in the thread so I would have to email it I guess.

Here's what you do:

1. Open the picture in Paint
2. Pull down the "Image" menu
3. Select "Attributes" - this will let you know how far you have to go.
4. If the picture is already a perfect square (eg. 200x200) then just type 75 and 75 into the width and height boxes.
5. If the picture is not a square, then do 1 of 2 things:
a - estimate the proportions and type in the numbers accordingly or
b - go back to the "Image" menu and choose Stretch/Skew and in the "stretch" box change the %s to 50 and 50, and then check the attributes again to see the difference it made. If the larger side is 75 or less, then you're good. If it's still too big, shrink it again using the percentage method until it's the right size.

option "b" above requires trial and error, but no math is involved
