I know, but I was hoping to find a relatively easy way to get around it. Oh well.
Haven't you figured out by now, there is no such thing as an 'easy way' ?!
If it's something you have to 'buy' to enlarge space, that can wait (plugins or keys/super keys .........................and no, I'm not talking about your car keys)
My GIMP crashed earlier, so went to use PS that was given to me and man, what a trip that is trying to figure that one out after being used to GIMP!!!
Guess I'll have to re-install GIMP again....I know where all the 'controls' are there! LOL Just have to spend time reloading all my brushes when I do that...*sigh*

What I'm looking for now is a place that hosts the images for us, so that we can link to them instead of uploading it to our computers. that seems the way to get around the problem.
Check the avatar editing box and you'll see there are two different ways to get the image, one by uploading it, the other by putting in a URL to some host.
It may not work, but it's all I've got left for ideas.
Grace, looky looky at what ninurta figured out what to do, or rather 'how' to (which I'm sure you know by now. LOL)

I fixed up guohua as well (had to do hers for her... with her permission, I went into her profile to change it)
As with 'TOS', the avatar is the invisible Then the image is the b.g..... located under 'personal'
The dimensions are roughly 225x520-540 give or take, to prevent overlapping at bottom (I played around with the sizing some....may have to re-adjust if a problem with length)
I just saved it to my uploads at 'TOS' and got the image url from there
And then you have to be sure and place the brackets/code in front & back
Upon further reflection, I think you can just left-click in the box where the code goes, and the script will pop out a "pop up" where you can just type of paste in the URL to the image, and the script will fill in the rest of the necessary code around it, like it does with embedding video from Youtube.
