I use adobe image ready to reduce the avatar. If you email it to me I would be happy to try it and email it back.

I am sure julie knows the best way with photobucket but I don't. It must be a video type of software-- ie, photoshop alone won't do it.
Send me a PM if you'd like
 
Send me a PM with a link to the raw image and I'll use GIMP (it's free -- use Google to find it) to shrink it.

Somewhere around the LAN I have a GIF animator. Sadly, I haven't the slightest idea where it is because I stopped animating GIFs after the first few ...

Have you tried using "Paint"?

You should not have to download anything.

Most computers have a program already installed called "Paint"

Click on "start" ---> "Programs" ---> "accessories" ---> "paint"

Open your file in paint, and then click on "image" ---> "stretch/Skew"

Change the percentages in both horizontal and vertical to the same value. The default value is 100%, and depending on the desired file size, you can start out with 50% each, or even 25% each.

Once you have shrunk the file to your desired size, click on "file" ---> "save as" and choose a new filename for your smaller file, thus retaining the original file, and creating a new smaller version.

Avatars can't be any larger than an 80 by 80. The problem with "Paint" it is a percentage and you have to keep guessing when it is the right size. One doesn't know what size the picture is to begin with and then you must keep resizing.

I guess if there is nothing else it will do but what a pain.
I would download a free program if it will resize the actual size.

Actually, you can tell the actual size using Paint. Simply hit control+E to get the attributes. From there, you can determine the actual size, and using some simple math, determine the correct percentage to apply to the stretch/skew function. :)

Apparently there are people who are paying thousands of dollars having their cats done like this.
