CurlyWhirly Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I have recently fancied having a change of avatar and as there is a maximum pixel size of 90 x 90 pixels allowed on the forum, I have downsized my avatar to 80 x 80 pixels with a resulting file size decrease from 12.9 kb to 7.17 kb which is well below the maximum file size allowed of 50 kb. It is a .JPEG file by the way.Does anyone know if there is a problem with the site's avatar engine and if not then at least I know that the fault is at my end and not the forum :rolleyes: Thanks.

Scarecrow Man Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Your avatar must be no bigger than 90 pixels by 90 pixels in size. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB.The following file types are allowed: gif,jpg,jpeg,png,swfSeems like you've met the requirements. Can you post your avatar in this topic? I may be able to edit it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post your avatar in this topic? I may be able to edit it for you.This is the avatar that I would like. I know that it's a trademark of Microsoft but I got it from a free avatar library so I assume it's okay to use on a public forum like this one? Thanks Scarecrow Man :flowers:Edit: Removed attachment for legal reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Umm.. That is your current avatar.That is a trademark of Microsoft, and can probably not be used on a forum. I will look into this.EDIT: Apparently Mods cannot edit avatars, just remove them. You will need to contact an Admin or Admin Support about this.

Thanks for trying to help!Would be a good idea... for legal reasons. It's probably fine, but craig cannot afford a lawsuit from Microsoft.My avatar for example shows the microsoft logo, but it is not the trademarked logo, it is a recreation... basically just 4 squares that look like the logo.

djohn Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I've removed it for you Curly for the time being, just to be on the safe side. If Craig says its OK then we can restore. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Well, it was there for a while as both Scarecrow Man and myself could see it, that is why I went into your control panel and removed it for you. :wacko: Not to worry though Curly. Have a try with somthing else if you wish. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I couldn't find another suitable avatar so I settled for the 'pink sea' from the Base Gallery instead :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I think you need a moving one Curly, someone on a motorbike to show your interest in them! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 This would be a good one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a problem with your browser?That's strange because on my PC all was showing was the old avatar in pixellated form :blink: I think you need a moving one Curly, someone on a motorbike to show your interest in them! :)Yes I agree, the trouble of course is locating them :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 This would be a good one:Yes I agree that it would be a good one but perhaps a little big for an avatar and to be honest it would probably be a little distracting for me while reading a topic. Thanks for coming up with the suggestion though :flowers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
