Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

NP, photobucket has a nice automatic resizer for uploading images.

Pardon the stupid question, but I didn't see where I could upload a custom avatar when I created my account.  Can someone point me in the right direction, or must one have a certain number of posts for this function to be enabled?

You can have your own avatar when you reach Wizard, which is 100 Posts

 The little red text above the reply tells me this is rather old, but I'm trolling and feel like helping out. So since this was never answered ...

 To change the file format of a photo, you typically want an image editing software. If you want something that has a bunch of options and you can use to make animated .gifs and a bunch of cool paint functions, etc., etc.  You want Photoshop CS

  But for the purposes of just loading a picture and saving it from one format to the other. I'd recommend a simple free software such as IrFanView . Just load the picture in, crop it or resize it if need be, then re-save it as a .jpg or w/e. (Note: May not support all file formats like .tiff , etc. I haven't used it in awhile).
