How to get an icon(newbish i know)

find a pic that is 5 k and 50 x 50 pixels. its hard but its what u gotta do

thank u much^

However, be original with it, and don't copy someones. Go to google, do an image search of something you enjoy( if you have no idea, try pika). Then resize the thing to 50 x 50 pixels, upload it, and you are set.

and how do i make it 50x50? yes newbish again i know

Are you running a Windows machine? Windows picture manager will do it for you.

yes windows..i will look.

i dont see it

XP should have it. And if you aren't running XP on a windows, there isn't much hope for you.

i have xp is the picture manager just the my pictures or what?

you may also resize an image in paint. paste your image in paint, hit control e or go to image tab then down to attributes...then you will see you can click pixels...make sure pixels is selected and in the bars above put in 50 and 50. voila.

You donated with still being a noob?
I'd have to say thanks, but thats pretty crazy?

^i tried it in paint but when i made it 50x50 it just shrunk it just cut it to 50x50 so it just showed the upper left corner of the image.

How to make an icon for the forums.
1. First you need to have at least some graphics experience, if not try using one of the pre-made icons and skip to step #4.

2.The requirements for your icon is that it must be 50x50 pixels and under 2 KB. You can use both JPG or GIF formats, animation and transparency are allowed in GIFs. Try and make your icon different so people can use it to recognize your posts. But, also try and keep the colors toned down a bit so it doesn't take attention away from the posts.

3.After you are done creating your icon you must re-name it to your user name on Newschoolers.com and place it in a directory on your computer that the title has no spaces in it, usually just your desktop is best. And use the upload feature of the icon page of the site to publish it, it may not appear right away but to see it right click on the page and hit 'refresh'.

4.This step only applies to people newer to computers or people that want to use one of the pre-made icons. First go to the icon page and find the one you like best and right click on it and select 'Save As' in the name box put your NS username with capitals and all and save it on your desktop. Then, push the 'Browse' button on the icon page, select the icon and push the 'Upload' button.
