Can someone help me out and resize for me? I can't get a custom avatar to display right.

Please provide your e-mail and thanks for the help.

It's easy to do it yourself.

1.) Open MS Paint.

2.) Image >>> Resize/Skew.

3.) Resize with equal percentages in horizontal and vertical.

4.) Image >>> Attributes...

5.) Check the display and see if you are at or below 80 X 80 pixels. If not, undo and try again.

6.) Apply blue paint all over your skin and run around in the jungle with the jellyfish.

I use INFRAVIEW. Its Freeware and converts all kinds of picture formats. Especially great for reducing image/file size. My Avatar was originally a 4 meg file.
