When you go to post a profile pic it always says its too big I think it would be nice if you could upload the pic and YYE would automaticly shrink it to the right size can this be done? ---

It’s been ages since I dealt with that. Doesn’t it list a maximum pixel size? Scale and/or edit the picture, save as a new .jpg and you’re done. ---

I imagine something like this would only appear in the rumored forum update. Beefing up the forum to appear like other social media would be interesting though… Like google+ but infinitely better… And… Not, google+. Because that’d be plagiarism XD ---

YYE uses a commercially available software product for the forum. They have little or no control over the functionality. ---

Pixlr!!! It’s like a free photoshop hosted online! So no downloads, or anything. Or photobucket itself has an image editor. It’s super simple, but has a resize option ---

This is so easy even I can figure it out! And I suck with computers!!! If you really want a profile picture in the right size send me the picture and I’ll shrink it for you.
