Hey guys, I want to announce a change in Avatar rules, there actually haven’t been any rules here for avatars, but I found out that restricting the size of avatars can help the boards run a lot faster and use less bandwidth, so I am issuing a size restriction for the custom avatars. From now on the avatars shouldn’t be over 150 pixels wide, and 175 pixels high, so basically shouldn’t be any larger than this you can determine the size of your avatar by right clicking on the picture and going to the properties option. I am thinking of giving a slightly different limit for the moderators, but as for now even the mods will be restricted to this size. I will probably restrict the signature banner size as well, but not right now. Anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to post them. Take care all and Ciao! ~ Faithy

hehe I don't think this really applies to me. My avatar pic only looks good with the size it is now which is only like 75 pixels all the way around. By the way, for both of you, I like the new pics

Lol, I was sitting here yesterday for like 20 minutes to half an hour trying to find a good pic and one that would go good in the frame, than I tried that pic and than I softened it and it looked really good so I decided to use it. And what size was you thinking about making the banners? Lol, and do you possibly gots a dark purple frame like that one up there, or dark pink or something?

Err, um... How, exactly, do I put an avatar in? I tried to do it on my profile, but it didn't work. Also my signature. Do you have to use the [image][/image] tags? and how can you figure out the dimensions of the picture?

[glow=navy,2,900000]Yep, there are sort of html codes. It's odd that you can't put things though, look here, I paste what I put for my banner, maybe it'll help, if you just want to change the adress for the image & the writing (except that you have to take off the "!" I put there to make the code be visible) :
[center!][IMG!]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/frenchyfaith/Banners/ffbanner1.jpg[/IMG!][!color=White] Eálá Earendel engla beorhtast Ofer middangeard monnum sended [!i]Hail Earendel brightest of angels, Over Middle Earth sent to men.[/i!] [/color!][/center!]
For the avatar, maybe you can pm me & send or show me the avatar you would like to put, I'll try to help you to put it. [/glow]

Hey Cass, To figure the size I use the my documents folder on my computer, just highlight the image and it should tell you the image size and properties. You can also do it online. Find the pic you want to know the size of , hover the mouse over it and right click then select properties. It should tell you the dimensions. For your Avatar, you go to your profile and tic the box saying you have your own image, then paste the addy of the image in the box, no tags needed, and then save the changes, and it should work. BUT the normal members, aka not mods or me, have a board size restriction. So if your chosen avatar is bigger than 100 by 100 pixels I believe it won’t work. If your chosen avatar is to big for the automatic loading, but smaller than the moderator set size restrictions of 150 by 175, just let me know and I can add it for you. If your avatar is smaller than that and still doesn’t show up, or is distorted, again just let me know, post a link of the desired picture and I will add it to the board’s avatar list. So either way it’s not a big deal, I just need the addy of the picture. As for your signature, yep you need the image tags, like Frenchy said. You add that in your profile as well. If your having trouble getting it to load just post the addy of the signature pic, and Frenchy or I can add it for you. Hope all that helps! ) ~ Faithy
