AVATARS

Avatars are the small graphics that are displayed under everyone's username whenever you post. Avatars are a fun part of any message board. For some people, it is an extension of their personality, for other's, it is a message or statement. Everyone has their own unique preferences and reasons behind it. Sometimes it is fun to let others pick your avatar based on how they perceive you.

This thread is for people to post pics they think would make good avatars for themselves or others. There are many people on this site who are very good with "Photoshopping" pics. If we are nice to them, maybe they can do special requests. Please do not use this as an opportunity to take cheap shots at people you may not like. Not everyone may share your sense of humor. I have found this out the hard way MANY times, LOL. The spirit of this thread is to have fun.

Remember, the image standards for the board remain in full effect.

The maximum size of the custom image is 150 by 150 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller). It appears that the board will automatically re-size images as well. You can even use animated GIF's, but remember, make sure they are smaller than the allowed size, otherwise the server will re-size them and strip out the animation.

Anyone having trouble posting pics, just remember to "copy" the "link" to the image from your browser. This is usually accomplished by right clicking directly on an image and finding the "copy". Every web browser is slightly different. Then hit the above your post. A box will open and then you can "paste" the image location in it. That's all there is to it. Have some good, clean fun everyone!

Still this may prove to be very popular among some of our more artistic members!

A recent occurrence led me to wonder whether someone can use a provider's photo as avatar with or without permission.

I have no success with a custom avatar because I only use iPhone and an iPad. I did make a tech request and was told I'm SOL. If anyone has input, please advise, as this keeps me from posting pics as well.

I think I screwed up dimension rules sorry gp :/

I Love the Avatars. NO! Defiantly, you shouldn't be able to use an actual photo of someone without their permission & just be nice everyone :P

Thanks for the info!

Don't worry about the size guidelines, that is only for people who are going to be "photoshopping" to worry about.

And that would be correct, using someone's picture for any reason without their expressed permission would be strongly frowned upon.

Holy shit I got it to work. My current avatar represents way too much intelligence, but I'll find a more appropriate one.
