As above.
Some of the sigs are growing almost by the day and some avatars are mahoosive. Have already deleted a few as some folks have read my PM requests but ignored the content.
Please crop yours if it exceeds the guidelines to save admins deleting it.

Could the forum have an auto resize feature for avatars, or not allow linking to one outside the dimensions?

No!! ;D
I'm not clever enough to sort that one so have to use the old persuassion tactic instead!!

Ok fair enough. I don't know how much control the admins have over customisation of the code and I though a bit or Perl or PHP could handle it, but as you say first try (gentle?) persuasion!

Oh, believe me, we have clever folks here who could rewrite all manner of things but, personally, I'm more of a whitworth spanner/lump hammer type rather than a software engineer, if you follow.... ;D

Isn't that a 55o thread?....... it's a long time since I've cut a Whitworth (or any kind) of thread on a lathe that I'd even need to know! ;D ;D ;D ;D

As I've already said, i am no computer tech by any manner of means, but know that the software we use on OOF was able to cope with abstract avatar sizings until one update where it all went the shape of the pear and we had to conform to size guidelines. I know that some are outside the max sizings (like mine by 2 thou') but, ultimately, some that are in use are extreme to say the least..... We do not have an issue with those that are within a handfull of whats asked, to be honest. Its those that are WAAAAY outside that we have issues with!
The larger sizes cause havok with a number of users, in particular those who log on via their mobiles or PDA's. I only really came to realise this fully when I started to log on via my phone on a regular basis, hence the personal interest.
Thanks in advance to those who have already managed to do something with theirs, just a pity you simply took the ultimate option with yours, dave. Its been a regular sight on here, as your say, from the earliest days of OOF and it was a pity that you used the ultimate sanction.... :-/

TD .. if you want you can e-mail your piccie to me, I'll resize it and ping it back ??? You can then upload to wherever you use.

Following on from Entwood's offer I'd also be happy to help any other OFF members who would like an avatar either amended or created. Send me a pm and I'll see if I can help. :y :y

Thanks for the offer Entwood :y, I could have resized it myself, but as i dont own that Omega anymore I couldnt see the point of going to the trouble ;)
