how do I make the bytes smaller. I've tried compressing it but it doesn't accept it.

Change the quality to something smaller.

Save it as a JPEG.

What's the file type? Some image files take more bytes than others. For example, .bmp files are quite large compared to most other image files. Convert the pic to a different image file perhaps.

Oh, well, I don't know, then. Maybe the avatar just has too much in it, so it uses more bytes. Consider one that is more simple.

I know but I really like it, and I can't seem to find a different one that is the right size

Ah, that might be why!

Did you use MS Paint to make your avatar? If not, copy it to Paint and save it as a JPEG there. That should hopefully work.

If not, remember that the max size is 100x100 and the max bytes is 20,000.

Yes; I only use .gif for animations, but those look like moving PNGs. XD

I usually just go to Image and then Stretch/Skew and then just decrease the size on Horizontal and Vertical. I make them both the same amount.

Upload the avatar to PhotoBucket or somewhere else and link us to it.

"Error: The file uploaded was too large. Files must be 20KB (20480 bytes) or less. Your file is 255493 bytes."

I'll see if I can shorten the talking animations with Beneton GIF.

O_o Never mind; Beneton loads it weird.

Not that I know of besides physical resizing; use PhotoBucket's edit tool to resize it.
