Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThis is probably pretty petty, but when is DU going to let our own photos be avatars??
All the photos that id Like for an avatar is way to big for the size available here. 😢. I have some, what I think are very nice avatars and the DU size cops wont allow them. 😅. What can I do?? Oh, and DUs suggestions are getting pretty tiresome. JMHO.

There's a size limit, but not a ban on using your own photo.
You just have to make a photo of you ... a size that will fit within the allowed avatar dimensions.
