Some of the avatars are really annoying with their resizing. Phantasmzombie's in particular I noticed to be absolutely fucking huge, I measured it at one milimetre under fourteen centimetres; five and a half inches. Considering my moniter isn't ridiculously large, that's way too fucking huge for me, there's a lot of others, though too. An effort should be made to deal with these massive avatars so that we don't have to see them resize like that.

Or there could be a "I wanna use this image, resize it for me" thread. I remember resizing one for... someone, many moons ago.

Is mine bad? It's a huge image, but it never has a problem loading for me.

I have offered to help with this many times. Anyone who needs help with an image should ask at this point and many of us are willing to assist.

I rather agree. The first time I clicked on a thread and had Phantom's bloody (bloody as in, "literally, covered in blood") avatar full size in my face, I just about had a heart attack. Granted my nerves were frayed from a long dark room/headphones session of Doom 3, but still. Smile

I have removed my avatar, sorry if it caused any problems.

Hey, it was fine, it was just too large. Why don't you ask Fontaine to resize it like he offered? The size was the only problem with it.

Open the image in ms paint, Ctrl X for stretch / skew. Tinker around till it's 100 pixels by 100 pixels. Save, upload to tinypic or image shack or whatever, copy the url and paste it into the link to off site avatar area under edit your profile.

Then have a cookie.

Hahah yeah Phantom, wasn't meant as a diss, and you aren't the only one. Just resize it and slap that shit back on. Smile

Photobucket has automatic resizing for things like this, people.

I kinda fixed Wily's avatar. I compressed it to 333 x 500 and 51.2 KB. I would have made it smaller, but in order to see what the fuck it actually is, you need to be able to click on it for the larger image.

PROTIP: If people can't tell what your avatar is without seeing it at original size, your avatar sucks and you fail epically, not only at the internet, but at life as well.
