All of us had to go through the size thing.  
No , you don’t have to sign in to Google Images

If you put your mouse on the pic , you’ll see “More Sizes” somewhere on the page.

Try that…

There’s not way you could fit in one that’s over 140 pixels or so.

to the op: you have to get a url to a image that’s the right size, or have one resized on your computer and choose the file.

Through what?

And to what size?

Try imageshack or [tinypic.com](http://tinypic.com), if you’re copying and pasting a link, (just use the direct link). If you’re uploading a file from your computer, you have to use some photo editing program to re size it.

The image in question should be around 100x100 pixels. Otherwise, it will have a scroll bar underneath, and that’s just stupid and annoying.

With that out of the way, ilove2yoyo is wrong. You should not use the

```auto
 

```

tags. The URL of the image will work. He’s thinking about posting pictures in signatures, since it uses bbcode.

I believe you are talking about an AVATAR.
