gif use less space and they look good resized. but nomatter what you use (png, jpg, gif) smaller can;t go bigger and look good. bigger can easly go smaller and have a good look still to it. Heh, I know that. It's always best to find a larger and better quality picture to reduce into something smaller. With smart resize and cropping, it's easy. But depending on your image, saving it is different. Depending on what you have, you have many options to choose. It's up to the individual what works best for their needs.
I have Paint Shop Pro and use the JPEG, GIF, and PNG exports to preview how my avatar will look for each format. Sometimes, JPEGs and GIFs work just fine but more times, I stick to PNGs just because, lol. Again, it all depends on what you have. Some formats will look better than others.

Depending on what you have yea. thanks to my sis i have photoshop and illustrater. but illustrater is crap in resizing for avtars. at school they got indesign and go live for macs. i'm going to get indesign for my windows as soon as i can find it lol... i wanna learn flash too and the higher stuff but got to do the lower first. lol
they only modify it if it is over the limit, not under. i think (could be wrong) that the admins have it set.or maybe the doc set it when he did the update......so now it does that.

The software stretches it and we can't adjust it - it seems to be a bug. The only adjustment we can make is to the maximum size, which is set at 90 × 90 to be consistent with past avatars.
