If you have a photobucket account you can shorten it down. I would upload the image to your photobucket/other account and then make it smaller.

The buddy list only works if we enable the option for people to hide their online status. What it does is let you see when your friends are online even if they are hidden from members and guests. Of course you need to log in before it becomes active otherwise it will read you as being a guest.

Currently we don't have the hide option available anyway so the buddy list is irrelevant.

With avatars you can re-size them yourself using either a graphics program or Photobucket, or you can use the preferred option around here which is to hassle Os and get him to fire up Photoshop.

I added the avatar to your profile this morning. Did you change the settings or something?
