are you trying to get one to fit into your avatar, but the file is still too big?
If that's what you are talking about, I had the same problem, but then I tried saving the pic not as a .jpg, but as a .PNG. Then for whatever reason the file was small enough for me to upload it. If thats not what you were talking about, then be a little more specific and I'm sure someone can help you. :)
i tried but it's still too big.. maybe i'll just have to find a different pic.. thanks.

hit me up on AIM and maybe I would be nice enough to shrink it for you. The pic may looked wacked small... but I will be glad to do it. It will take me all of 2 seconds. The longest part will be the file transfer from you to me on AIM.

the whatever reason being:
PNG uses a non-patented lossless data compression method known as deflation. This method is combined with prediction, where for each image line, a filter method is chosen that predicts the colour of each pixel based on the colours of previous pixels and subtracts the predicted colour of the pixel from the actual color. An image line filtered in this way is often more compressible than the raw image line would be. On most images, PNG can achieve greater compression than GIF, but some implementations make poor choices of filter methods and therefore produce unnecessarily large PNG files.
yay for graphics geeks :P
png also supports alpha-channel transparency, which gif does not. ;)

I was a graphic design major for 3 years, and have never in my life had to use a png before. That is really odd.
