What size does the picture have to be to make it fit on your profile and how do I go about it.

    There’s a change my picture bit on the edit profile page.
    No idea on size, I just uploaded one from my laptop and there it was. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Thanks, I have found that but when I upload the picture doesn`t fit.
    From what I remember doing it last year, it has to be a certain size.
  • Hi,
    if you click on picture you can pull it in to resize it.

    Thanks I can do that but then I only get a small square of the picture.
    It doesn`t shrink the entire picture as shown on the left.
    It should say 2022 but only the 22 is showing.

    Default max for Vanilla Forums is 2MB. Don't imagine the site Admins will have changed this. 
  • Hi,
    can you resize in paint first then upload?
