    but only lets me use size 50 x 50 :(

    I'm so tiny now

    (but interestingly, I haven't had a chance to reduce the colours of this avatar yet so the filesize is 3 times bigger than the old one!)

    You're seeing the copy of the image stored in your computer

    If you empty you're temp internet files -

    Tools/Internet options then Delete files followed by Delete all offline content

    then you'll see how they really are

    looks like it

    Usually holding down Ctrl while refreshing reloads an image from source but for some reason we're only seeing how they all really are be clearing the cache/temp internet files

    I made a thread about resizing avatars here

    but I'm worried we'll all make them small then the size'll change again

    Does it say 50 x 50 max size for eveyone when you try to edit avatar?

    well it does for me. After they'd gone haywire this morning, I changed it to a 50x50 image and it was fine. Then after Webby's post I thought it had gone back to being ok so I tried to change it back to the 80x80 one I had before, but it won't allow it - says image is too large and must be 50x50.

    Is this a permanent change to that size of avatar, Webby?
