Robot Monkey Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 1. As you know, your avatar must be 105 x 105 pixels or the software will resize it. I'll make some templates available shortly for those of you who want them. 2.

Starhawk Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Thanks Robot Monkey. Looks like almost everyone is going to have to do a little avatar adjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Okay, here's two more tips for everyone: Look at the bottom of your page. See the button on the lower left? It's called Open Topic Options. Click it and see what happens. The Fast Reply button works the same way (lower right). I went to my Controls and set "Show Quick Reply when available" to "no". Then I just hit that butotn when I want it and a reply window slides open. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Fast Reply is very nice. Jay, Any chance I can get you to make a cool orange border with the glossy button look for my avatar? That's very nice. BTW, how do you get to be a "Boss"? 128-bit is getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugms Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 your avatar must be 105 x 105 pixels or the software will resize it. 105x105 or smaller. correct? Mine is 105x70 something and its not being stretched at all. This is a good question from a computer idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Looks good, B, so I guess it doesn't stretch it if it's under 105 x 105. BTW, there's a new topic in General Discussion that has avatar templates if you want 'em. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Crap! Mine has white borders. What did I do wrong? All I did was resize my image and paste it into the border. Blech. Edit: Nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainl Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Ouch. Nope, there must be more to it than only resizing larger ones; my relatively tiny avatar has been stretched vertically and generally wrecked. Oh well, time to make a new one. edit - ah. Perversely, if I re-submit my avatar through the relevant page, it unstretches. So thats the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Check the file type of your avatar too. Mine was oddly warped out of shape too...I noticed it was a .bmp so I converted it to a .jpg and now it's fine. Not sure why, but it worked.

Chris Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Argh! I just made a new one yesterday. Oh well, back to the drawing board. BTW, guys, the site looks awesome. Except for my sucky old, stretched avatar Edit: My cool, new, monkey-created avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Robot Monkey is hard at work taking over all our avatars, it would seem. I for one welcome our electronic primate overlord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsrunner Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hopefully my avatar looks okay... No fancy-pants border or glossiness for me I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
