irfanview question

How do I use this program? Everytime I shrink my pic down to use as an avatar and try to save it, it doesn't work. I save the pic small and it goes back to the original size. I'm computer stupid and only know enough to get me by. Can anyone help? Thanks later shawn

 

I have always had better luck posting the avatar on a website then using it that way. Of course I haven't tried it lately on this new website either. Try that.
