Hey guys, why, when I link a picture for my avatar, no matter how big it is, is it always refitted to 65 x 65? I know this is isn't the max, because alot of people have bigger ones. What am I doing wrong/what do I need to do?
Thanks for the Help,
~Avalon

Make sure you set the custom width and height to what you want. The highest you can go is 100x100. The dimensions for the avatar you have are 140x184 pixels, so divide by two and you get 70x92...which actually doesn't look good at all.  ...I suggest opening a graphics program and fixing up the image, if you're truly interested in keeping the avatar. Anyway, whatever you want.  |

I'm having a problem too. I want to upload my own avatar, but the only 'address' I have is my own file reference. When I have uploaded an avatar to other boards I have been presented with a browse window for my own files, and just double click on the picture I want. This board seems to work differently. How do I convert my reference to a URL?
Oh yes - and is it possible to have no avatar at all?

Yes,it is possible to have no avatar. Our forum has a drop down menu for the avatars rather than taking time to load all the images at once on the page. On that drop down, just click 'none' which should be the first on top. This forum has not been setup to support file upload. However, Imageshack will allow you to upload your own file without having to register a membership. However, with a membership you can delete your images. Without one you can't. Imageshack allows you to hotlink which means you can use their link when putting up an image elsewhere. It is also important that if you are using your own avatar, you must select 'none' from the drop-down list and then put in the address from your own in the line below. Otherwise, the avatar selected in the drop-down list will show rrather than the one you posted. |

Silly me - I was looking for 'none', but was fooled by the fact that the a's start part-way down the list, so never got to the top of it.* Please forgive. I think maybe I'll stick with the avatar I've got now, or I may get into more trouble! * Or just plain lazy, I guess.  |

Hey, just to let everybody know, the avatars are working correctly. I guess they've been fixed. So go check out the hundreds that are available! ;D |
