Avatar Problems

i think my avatar looks all bunched and not right at all. how does it look to everyone else? the pic is supposed to be 76x100, but it looks like it was ā€œsquaredā€ or something… :-/

You can change the height and width.

I think 100 is the max, so you could 76X100. I believe it is in the Modify Profile directly under where you put your avatar in.

it looks normal when i do ā€œmodify profileā€ but when i get to the forum itself it looks like a square

did you insert the height and width where Will told you? by default on this forum avatars get resized to about 50 x 50 regardless of their original dimensions.

cool, never noticed that there before… :slight_smile:

awesome, when you put in a value over 100, it wraps around to some other value. anyway, for those interested the avatar is a pic i took of trey at hampton :slight_smile:

Ok, so how do I get an avatar on the new and improved site?? I am not seeing anywhere to enter in an address on the profile page. Maybe I am just missing it, but I could use a pointer…

User Control Panel > Profile > Edit Avatar

This is a different problem, but I don’t want to start a new thread for it.
How do I get the text under my username displayed?

Fitz, send me or any of the mods a PM letting us know what you’d like there and we’ll set it up for you :slight_smile:

Hey dudes. I was just trying to put the ol’ spinning pizza back into play, but the file’s too big. Anyone know a quick way to resize a .gif file? I guess I’ll just have the non-spinning version I found instead for now.

And do I need to PM one of you dudes, or can I just ask you right here to put ā€œSounds Delicious.ā€ under my avatar for me?

Thanks a million.

Or maybe I should say, in the spirit of the fest, ā€œThanks an 8.ā€

Send the image to Ian, he hooked me up.

Thanks Will.

Done!

Yeah! Thanks Ian.

Nice. I’ll drop you one once I think of something.

Well, since the question was never answered, I’m gonna ask again…

My avatar hasn’t worked in a long time, obviously. Everytime I put something in, it says the dimensions are too fucking big. It really pisses me off, especially when it says it will automatically fit the avatar to the right dimensions. I need a visual here, people. We don’t even have a local gallery to choose from (aka greenhead). I miss greenhead. I wish I knew what to do.

If you tell me to delete my cookies, I’m going to scream.

Post the picture and someone will fix it for ya hopefully.

I believe SuperJay made mine suitable.

It’s posted.

We’ll see…

Thanks, Will.

OK, so lately I’ve been having this problem with my avatar. It will say ā€œavatar not accepted because the file was identified as a possible attack vectorā€. What the hell? I just downloaded the picture, uploaded it to Photobucket, resized it, pasted the link in the box, and it told me that. I don’t get it. I’ve tried a few different photos. Why is it doing this to me?
