Can anyone help me resize this for an avatar?

1. It worked.
Sometimes it just takes photobucket a few minutes to actually show up as smaller picture. It's caused me a few :wtf: moments myself.

2. So it will be small enough now?
Why does it still look so big?

3. Actually no.
It's a 5k file and DU has a maximum 3k size on avatars. The pixel size doesn't matter really, since DU will resize that, but they won't let you upload it, if it's over 3k. Maybe you could try shrinking it down in your photo software?

6. Yes
I have it in my photobucket account and reduced the size but can't make it any smaller.

7. Here's a suggestion:
Problem is, you won't see anything on a 48 x 48 px size, so I went and cropped the pic so that only the middle pumpkin is showing. It's a bit hard to read, and there's a softer and a sharper version, but it's readable:

8. Oh Wesley you are so wonderful
Do I just right click and get the properties? Or do I have to export it to my desktop and them import it to my profile?

Thanks for your help :hug:

9. Glad I could help.
You have to save it on your machine and then upload it, when you change your profile here.

:hi:
