I wanted to upload/add an avatar to this forum…. Problem 60×60 pixels is more that the 15kb???? I even did a 20×20 Which looked bad and still can’t get that tiny ..jpg to that size limit.

Thanks gang 🙂

Try saving your avatar as a .png file. They are smaller.

24 bit png is generally much larger than JPEG, but perhaps you used 8 bit?

At any rate, my 80×80 avatar is only 5K, 100×100 is 7K – just using Save for Web in Photoshop. If you were to save a color profile with the JPG that could bump the size way up – for avatars you want to avoid any metadata to keep the file size small.

I realize it doesn’t matter for the moment, but in case you need a JPEG in the future for something, I’d suggest you look at how you’re saving files to see how to make it smaller.
