Or a wide picture. Yes Mike, yours looks OK.

Lizzie's got big while we weren't watching.

But this post has some cracking examples...

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Shouldn't laugh - TB simply cant persuade everyone. And the forum won't work as it is - you can't read the posts on some  :( :(

To "shrink" your avatar, you will need to re-size it in a photo editor and save the new, avatar sized pic up to your image serving site of choice. As TB said 110x110.  :y

Oh, hang on. You meant the dimensions of the picture...  ::)

No it isn't big enough. I swear that since I've been sudying it over the past few months my eyesight has been deteriorating for some reason.

My mother said it would.

I just copied my present avator pic off this forum, saved it in photobucket but specified small size.., think that was 120 but there wasn't a 110 lol.

When I first saw my new avator pic after the maintenance changes earlier thought TB had been messing with me as it just showed Billie's arm and it looked slightly blurry and suggestive lol.

Title: Re: Avatar sizes
Post by: TheBoy on 10 November 2008, 08:09:06
Right. Lets put a few things to bed here.

Avatar size - 110 wide max, 110 high max (both in pixels), and no more than 50kb in size.  As per the forum guidelines at the top of every section that I wasted my time typing up ;)

Avatars that do not meet those guidelines will have to be removed over the coming days to meet the needs of those poor souls who HAVE to use Firefox (IE correctly truncates the images so it doesn't spill over only post).

Whilst you are there, a few Sig sizes also do not match the guidelines - these will also be removed soon if not corrected.
