Forum avatar is going to drive me insane
« on: January 05, 2010, 08:59:05 pm »

Is there some trick to getting an avatar that's 80 pixels wide by more than 80 tall to display correctly?  Mine keeps getting resized to 80 tall when I try a non-square one!  But I see plenty of avs that are ~80x120.

80 tall is the max.  Make it wide.

The thing is, there are avatars taller than 80 on here.  Lots of them.  Let's see what I can find on recent threads...

http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=42918.0

Phantom and Vester.  80x117 and 80x135.

Ah, and managed to refind a thread I'd searched up while trying to solve this on my own.

http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=45192.0

Gothmog and Ironhand.  Both 80x120.

And I don't think file formats make a difference, though I guess it's worth a try.

Come on guys, do you really judge people by the size of their avatar? It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion in the ocean... and the flashing, don't forget the flashing anime effects.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

All I want is for my avatar to be bigger, while still having the scarf in it. :(

Just the tiniest bit more length!

I think I know what you can do, try a much bigger image.

I used to have a large image I used for an avatar, wider than the forums limits.

128x188


The forum fixed it automatically, scaling it down.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Non-square avatars are totally rad.

That's a poorly drawn charmander.  Really.  Wow.  Not that it's a bad drawing, it just doesn't look like charmander.  I mean,

P.S. It's a great drawing.

P.S.S  Total respect for the bossly art skills.

I didn't draw it (it's a little ambiguous if you think I did; the real artist definitely is amazing, though).  I am considering drawing up a cutebold avatar eventually, but for now, it's a Charmander.

And eh, the snout's gotten a lot less pronounced since gen I and II.
