avatar image scaler??

[kmc63]

Ok not real good with computers,but dont think im a total moron you be the judge. So I go to change my avatar,it says the image scaler is "on" which is suppose to scale the picture down to fit pixel wise. I find the picture I want click on it and it says "picture to large 'WTF" does the scaler do again?

Your avatar must be no bigger than 160 pixels by 160 pixels in size.

Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 75 KB.

I think it's just not smart enough to scale it down before checking the file size, so if you start with a file >75KB it will be rejected.
