I created a new Avatar to add to my profile. Problem is when I go to load it, the instructions say that
"The avatar’s filesize must be between 0 and 9 KiB"

I am using Photoshop but honestly do not know what this message means?

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Up to nine kilobits? You'll have to reduce the file size til it gets below that. I've never used Photoshop specifically (it's a brand), but look for a command that says something about resizing or "Scaling Image." As you make the picture physically smaller, it will reduce the kB.

Save the reduced pik, find it in whatever folder its stored in and hover over it with your mouse; a popup flag should tell you its size. Reduce again if necessary.
