That is your control panel so you can customize all that. The have a viraity of avatar's to chose from. Or you can link to one that is own another server. The size limit I think is 64x64.

Hope this helps

Just testing my new avatar and sig.



Posted by: Outlaw

you do know you can just look at one of your previous posts for that, right?



Posted by: Swilo

The sig wasn't showing up on previous, just the avatar, so I found the most relative thread.

So... this means that if I figure out what to do, and where to put it, post a link to where I put it so my comp can find it, and keep it within a certain size... that I can put up an icon of me in my cheerleading outfit or playing the saxophone?

excellent. I have always thought those avatars looked too familiar anyways. I keep seeing them on people. We need some Uniqueness in this place...gives us some class...mystique...eccclecticism. (note: you don't normally see five "Cs" in "Eccclecticism, I put one more "C" in there to see if anyone would see it)

My avatar isn't animated any more. Is this not allowed on the forums or is my IE screwed again?



Posted by: Canis Lupus

Animated GIFs are not allowed - sorry, I guess I have to put that in the avatar rules or somethin

The only reason it's not allowed is because animated GIFs are usually bigger than static ones ... and if many people start using animated GIFs for their avatars, the loadtime for each thread will dramatically increase

Unless everyone suddenly get broadband, I'm afraid animated avatars won't be allowed ... sorry...



Posted by: Swilo

It was 64x64 and was lesss than 20k, so I figured it was safe. Would it really take longer to load a 15k animated gif than a 19k still image?
[edit]How'd you get your avatar to be 64x75? &ltwhine&gtI want a bigger one too&lt/whine&gt[/edit]



Posted by: Bishop

How about a compromise?

anyone who wants to use an animated avatar must purchace broadband for someone for a full year.

That wasn't the point I don't want people to suddenly use animated GIFs coz they saw someone using it ... a still image is still generally smaller than an animated one, so there

Besides, a 64x64 still image would be hardpressed to reach more than 15K (case in point, my avatar is full color, yet it's still less than 7K) ... anyway, I have limited the image size to 10K now, so

And I have 64x75 coz I am that I am ...



Posted by: redwench

lagacious one, dont you mean "i am what i am" ?

and he has a bigger avatar cuz hes a sexy wolf



Posted by: Canis Lupus

Nope, it's I am that I am ... as in "I'm the burning bush, you're standing on holy ground, take off your keds..."

You know...



Posted by: laborat

I think the laggster's quoting Popeye..."I Yam that I Yam"

but to clear up any doubt... he is definitely claiming the turf
as the Big Kahuna. or as wargs says, My Way or the Highway.
or even better, he ain't taking no Guff about Gifs...
