Cheese! I'm trying to upload my logo to use as my Avatar but cant do it.... I think I have the wrong image (size or type not good or bad!) so for now I have had to settle for the only photo of myself I could find that would fit.... :D

Anyone got a spare razor! :wink:

[epiphany]

email me the picture you want to use and I will sort it for you :)

[Russ]

Thanks epiphany :)

[bitsnstuff]

Epiphany is there any chance you could help me too, as I had the same problem and in the end gave up?

Kate

[Webstuff]

Just mogrify it :)

Or maybe this works well?

Or, just get Epiphany to do it (probably the best way ;))

[epiphany]

Use the "Upload Avatar from a URL:" bit down the bottom of your profile and use this link.

kate, of course :) When I get some time I will do you something :D

[bitsnstuff]

Thank you Epiphany, as ever greatly appreciated. :lol: I only want my logo, but god knows, why it won't go to the right size.

Kate :lol:

Yeah, I downloaded the Avatar Sizer but this doesn't take care of the memory size of your avatar. I note that it mustn't be any bigger than 6K!! How does one reduce the size of it down to such a small size???? :cry:

[Rob Holmes]

I just did it in Fireworks.

[Russ]

Thanks epiphany :D

[Webstuff]

moneygenerator - put it online somewhere and post the URL.

Ask Ozzy to increase the allowed size of avatars :D

[chris1317]

Just reduce the jpg quality a little, a pic of that size will easily go to below 6k.

[epiphany]

How can I compare to matrix now! :D

If you want it, here is a slightly different one, as promised :)

[MinuWeb]

I have gone for a much simpler approach :D

[Ozzy]

Now you're just being silly :)

[MinuWeb]

ok Ozzy, here is a simplified version of yours (if you can find it :D

[Webstuff]

vshosting, I like your minimalist approach ;)

Am I the only one nerdy enough the give troublesome images a good old mogrifying?

[MinuWeb]

What could you do with mine ? :D

[Webstuff]

This is what I came up with, vs;








I adapted it to be a tad more post-modern. You like?

[MinuWeb]

thats really great..... you didn't provide a URL for it though :p

[bitsnstuff]

Excellent Epiphany, thank you very much. :lol:

I may just have to alternate to keep you both happy!

Kate

[epiphany]

you're welcome :)

vhosting, do you actually want one made out of the crazy frog? :)

[MinuWeb]

I was thinking of one where the crazy frog drops in, the rope goes tight and you see his neck break :D

Might be tough to get a goog quality view with the avatar size limit though......

[epiphany]

It's pretty much impossible to make it look nice at under 6k :) So I took out the background, titled his neck and made him swing a little :P If you don't want the animation to repeat, except on refresh, then let me know.

[Ozzy]

Mine looked a bit sparse ;)
I like the dead frog though, even if I do have the single !

[Altoros]

Take a look at my avatar! :) Cool Yeah!

[Russ]

I found this avatar today! what a result!!
