Photoshop, Paint.net (Free at getpaint.net), The GIMP (Also free for Mac/Linux/Win at gimp.org.). All of those image programs allow you to resize images to a defined pixel setting. It has been a while since I used PS and Paint.net but you can always get the file size from the file itself on your OS after resizing it if it is not available in the program.

i tried to resize in photoshop and it just completely blurred the image. It was under 5KB and still didn't work...
The displayed images are actually 96x96. It shouldn't be too hard to get them under 5k, at 96x96.

That is common when resizing larger images. Try toying with the enhance/sharpen filter to get it a little clearer.
It will take some tinkering to get it right. Sometimes I'll resize it smaller, sharpen, then resize it again and step down a few times before going straight from say 800x800 to 200x200. At least as an example on how I try to prevent blurred photos.
Also make sure to try to save (or "export as" in GIMP) them as a common *.gif, *.jpg, or *.png file as those offer better image compression than say a *.bmp file. I usually use *.png though this site shows my avatar as a *.jpg.

No offense intended but as it is, I have no idea what your profile pic is other than from your user ID, I assume it has something to do with water. Yours isn't the only one.
It is a waterfall. It is blurrier than the old forum. I just haven't gotten around to changing it yet. It is smaller than the old one which is essentially the same problem Payton is having with resizing.
If anyone needs assistance just shoot me a message with the full size image and I'll send it back resized and clear.
Or as clear as the image will allow depending on it's quality.

How long does it take for that to go into effect?
Because I just tried with an 18.1K size image and got the 5K image size limit error.
Same for me, too... I do some web development, so I'm very good at getting images down to the smallest file size possible without significant loss of clarity. If you can't manage it, send it to me, and I'll fix ya up.

Got it. Thanks
There's just certain pics that aren't going to show up well with the 96x96 format on the forum avi... oh well....
Got it. Thanks
No problem. I tossed the forum avatar into an image editor and the file size is 115k from the change over. Placed it into sharpen and it looks like it used to look. Unfortunately I'm still getting the 5KB error even on the avatars I tried under 30 KB. I'll give it a half an hour for the database to update the settings and try again.
Hey. I see a Hydroscope!
Had to crunch the image down still to get under the 5KB limit. Nice to see that Payton is rocking the new avie now!
YEEEAAAAH!
I click on some of the avatars, and they are the same size in the member info card that pops up.
I click on mine and it's way bigger in the member info card.
I don't know what I did that other's did not do, but mine is exactly 200 x 200 pixels.
Maybe some of the others are much smaller and that's why.
