2) Avatars
These are little pictures which appear under your name when you make a post. Any pictures have to meet the following criteria:
- No bigger than 80 x 80 pixels in size
- File size of no bigger than 25Kb
- Image has to be a gif, jpeg or png file
- No animated avatars are allowed
Once you have created your avatar, go to your profile and in the Avatar section, either click the Browse button to find the avatar on your local PC, or put the URL in the second box. Either method will upload the image to the forum.
Any problems with creating your avatar or signtaure, please use this thread to make them known and we'll try and get them resolved.

Quick question, it takes me forever to find a pic online that will fit the 80 x 80 pixels so many of them are bigger. Is there anyway to download a picture and then change its size? I've been trying to get an Eddie Izzard one for a while now
Mind you I am rather content with my current one for the time being!

Ok when I shrink the picture it lops half of it off! It doesn't shrink the whole picture?

There should be a stretch/skew option in the menu bar, which give you the option of reducing the whole picture by percentage.
Do you have picture manager? It should be the default JPG viewer for all fairly recent PCs. There's a canny little tool in the right-hand pane which lets you specify how many pixels you want to reduce your pic to (I think mine's 80x67 or something). That should be your easiest option. But 'Paint' should allow you to do the same thing, it's just a bit more of a faff.

Cool! I know exactly when that photo was taken too! He's saying:
"Did I leave the gas on? No, I'm a f*&^ing squirrel!"
Is that right?

I noted your earlier pleasure at the nickname. I'm good at ingratiating myself aren't I, Ouro?

Are you suggesting we're tight with the maximum avatar size permitted or something?

That's an interesting new signature you've got too, BN?!

Yep! That's it! This site sucks! I'm going to FM and I'm never coming back here again!
Seriously though, the only reason it bugs me is because for some reason when I take screen caps, my computer will ONLY save them in bmp files. I've tried a million times to get them to save in jpegs but they won't. So in order to get them to convert to jpegs, I have to save them to Photobucket. Then, in order to use said screen cap as my avatar here, I have to resave the image to my computer (because now it's been converted to a jpeg) and THEN resize it!
It's kind of a pain in the ass but I'll be ok!
I keep getting into disagreements about Bulldog over there at FM and it's not nearly as enjoyable as it is getting into "debates" here about Author, Author, Room Full of Heroes and now apparently..........Odd Man Out!

Shit - how old is your version of Paint? I take screen caps all day for work and I always convert them from bitmaps to JPGs in Paint...
