Import it into Photoshop or similar and save it re-sized to 75x75 if you can't do it in whatever site you're using to host it. Should be able to re-size within the site though :y

For some reason I can't get mine back now ::)

I've only copied/pasted it from your post for now, so if you delete it from your site, I'll lose it.  :-/

Your current / old photo was hosted in your own photbucket account - twiglet1976?

Save the photo to your PC and upload it to your own account, then use that URL  :y

Feel free to delete from your misc folder, although I'll understand if you want to keep hold of a pic of such an awesome car!!  ;)

LD - PM me the flickr link, I'll tell you whats wrong :y


Please note, everybody, we are going to have a bit of a clampdown on avatars and sigs (size and content (sigs) and hosting speed) over the coming weeks, due to potential layout issues with our new software

I must say that like the student I'm preferring dropbox to photobucket these days.

Not decided - possible that width may be able to increase slightly, but height may have to be reduced.  Depends on how we do the layout.

How about 100 x 75 or 160 x 120, many members use photobucket and they are the default resize options.

Doubt we can accomodate the latter, but for the former, avatars don't have to be the maximum allowable size ;)

True, was just thinking of making it easier for less technically inclined members to upload their av, and make the howto easier to explain. :)

Nope.

One could argue that why post any boring utube stuff anyway.  That aside, 99% of gay utube prats use mobile phones to video, so unwatchable at any size, and utube are a bit ott with compression.


Properly filmed, what we have works well - look at any of the mtce guides with videos ;)
