Ok I wanted to change my avatar, so I paid up for a 6 month subscription and uploaded my new avatar. Even though it is less than the 19.5kb limit it is still only showing up as a tiny picture you can hardly see.

If that's the biggest size I'm allowed I want my $9 back, cause I cant even see what it is, and I know what the picture is of.

They had taken off the avatar uploading option, but i went back and looked at it yesterday and now its back. And i did not pay for any subscriptions. Maybe they changed their mind? Dunno.

You can resize the picture to 150x150pixels. Then reload the larger sized one. I change mine frequently. I didn't have to join the Booster club to change my avitar.

I did, it wouldn't allow me to upload a new one without it, and now no matter what size I upload the picture it comes out as that tiny thing.

I'm really not impressed at the moment, Ive paid money for this, what's going on?

When I was doing my signature pictures, I had a problem with one of the pictures coming out WAY to BIG! No matter what I did it came out HUGE. I finally got another picture an started from scratch. Could you try another photo?

If you can't manage to get the file uploaded larger why not try uploading it in a post and someone resizing it for you??? Then you can try saving it into your computer and reloading it?

Sorry you are having trouble, but honestly the money you paid is not to "get" a big avatar, it's to contribute and help this wonderful site. I would have paid whether or not there were ANY perks or not.

The problem with your avatar is not a problem with BB. Your avatar has been resized to look exactly like you have it...we have not altered it in any way. If you want help, I suggest asking one of our resident nice image manager peoples (Monica).

Thanks Kevin!

Hopefully though we can get it sorted out and you will have a larger avatar.
