I just got into your account and changed it through an admin tool. All you have to do is click browse, find the picture on your computer and then hit save. I can't figure out what you were doing that wasn't allowing you to change it. :confused:

You caught me in a generous mood, I raised the maximum file size to 30k.

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

Oh wow. I just realized that Jim's avatar was 26.15 KB. :doh:

(Thanks Mindi!)

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

DOH! :doh: Somebody spank me.. I forgot to 'Optimize' the animated gif.. I fixed the file. it's only 9k now.. If you re-download it you should be ok.

Apologies to those affected by my oversight.

Cheers! :)

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

Yes but I didn't do anything special.:confused:

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

Here's an Idea,.. if you got a paint program that can do the following..

1) Load a .png image with alpha channel
2) Crop and/or resize an image (to 64x64 size)
3) Overlay a .png on the resized/cropped 64x64 image
4) Save As.. .gif (with optimized pallet & set color RGB 255,0,255 to transparent)

Then using this Template..

You too can make a custom Avatar. Try if if you can and see if it works. Be sure to post your results here so we can all see. If you want to make a 'batch' of avatars and post them here, Mindi can decide if they are worthy of being moved to the default selection of avatars.

Cheers! :)

Kitty :)

Re: The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar
 

Ahh, but that part we figured out.....we were having a debate of which kind of kitty, lol. I know it's not the fluffy type that is in our house...although their claws sometimes feel like it...and we were uncertain as a couple different ones seem possible. Maybe we should just go with kitty...meow.
