Saving the file/picture as .png helps in size. You most likely should upload it to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and get the image url because then it won't matter what size it is.

Hey!! Go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
www.tinypic.com may be the easiest. Just upload the picture and prss ok or whatever. It will give you like 4 urls for your picture. Copy and paste the first one and put it in "Url of a picture of you" in your proile settings. It will always work.

Good Luck
I hope this helps

It doesn't matter if the picture is tiny, if it is more than 15k it wont take it. You need Mihov Image Resizer.

usually when you save it in paint it will be a .BMP file. Try saving it as a .JPG, then it will be small enough.

Even though the image you are trying to upload is small, it's actual size is bigger than you think, in your case. Instead of trying to upload the image from your computer, you could upload it to an image hosting site such as [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and paste the new URL of that image in the "URL of a picture of you" section in your Profile Settings and the image will show up that way.
