Probably becasue the 'old site' didn't have avatars and people (like me) haven't got round to/felt the need for avatars...Rich0

I can't get the picture small enough. nI make it 5k and you can't see it. even then it won't recognise it. I've tried Jpeg Tiff x y and z.
I've followd the instructions when advised by links but it fails continually.
I am getting pissed off to be honest.
Does it show? :twisted:http://twitter.com/mgalex

Try saving it as a gif, not a jpg.Jeff Jones

Every other avatar in this thread is a jpg.
Strange...
but true ( at the moment)
Just been to look at others
the majority( of the ones I have seen) are jpgs
Only one is a gif

dont think it matters as long as it's under 10k? Easier to achieve with a gif true, but jpg still doable.0

IIRC the advice was that it should be no more than 1k and 80 x 80 pixels. The image itself dictates whether it is best optimised as a GIF or JPeg.fluff. wrote:dont think it matters as long as it's under 10k? Easier to achieve with a gif true, but jpg still doable.
My avatar is a JPeg (1.001 k) and would be far larger as a GIF. If anyone wants, I'll give optimising their avatar a go. E-mail it through my profile.A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0 -

They're the little square pictures some people have to the left of their posts.ddraver wrote:I'm still not entirely sure what they are.....
An Avatar is, by Hindu tradition, a tangible manifestation of some higher being (a God, for instance).and why (if they re what i think) are they called avatars...never heard that word before0 -
Mine's supposed to be http://lordandmaker.co.uk/cookie.jpg
But it's too big, and since I've got this Mac I seem to have lost any image processing applications, and I'm not bothered about it enough to do it on something else.0 -

So mine is pretty much the perfect earthly avatar then?
What higher being is there than the lord of all grimpeurs?
What could be more tangible than a tin toy?0
