I was wondering what will happen if someone had "L’Origine du monde" from Gustave Courbet as an avatar?
Should he become banned. I recall that this is art and not pornography. :D
(search wikipedia if you don't know what is this painting)

What is being depicted in that is against the TOS, yes. It would be removed/you could get banned, depending on who sees it and when.

May as well ask this here. How do I get an avatar that changes every time like Red Scarlet's?
I was planning on hosting the pictures on my own server if that makes any difference.

I used a rotating script posted http://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/random_avatar.htmlhere. It's older than the improved one other users use that makes each post have a different avatar instead of mine which has 1 avatar per page.

I had nothing to do with yours, sorry.

No, it's over 3x as big as it needs to be (150kb).

You sure of that? I came across one of those appreciation threads earlier & it had two of your posts at the end with a duckroll post in between with different pictures.

On my comp/browser it's always been one, but on another browser I saw one with a cached one and the rest with new ones.

Is the one I'm using too explicit? IF so, I'll remove it.

Depends on who sees it, I doubt I'd be the only person doing anything with avatars once I start.

That Shepard dancing GIF is hilarious. It's just so ridiculous, especially the spin move.
I seriously have watched it through about 20 cycles.

Nope. Way too big a filesize.

I scaled it down a bit, but had to lose a lot of frames, which sped it up. But I inserted a lapse time between frames to slow it down. Unfortumately, it doesn't run smooth any more. But here it is anyway.



Also, rehost it, I'll remove it from my photobucket at some point.

Thanks alot for doin that !!!!

Yours is fine. In fact, if anything, it's almost too thin. ^_^

Would you believe it's three pixels shy of being right?

Heh. Fixed it, though. ^_^

Easy dimension guide to go by when you're making your avatars. Never have the width smaller than 90 pixels and the height never larger than 120 pixels. To get the most out of your allowed space (90x120) versus the viewing distance of your avatars, you should really only push for three sizes.

90x30 (Widescreen)

90x90 (Square)

90x120 (Correct)

Things get wonky/ugly when you work outside those constraints.

Of course, the 150kb rule always applies. ^_^

If anyone needs any resizing done, I'll be checking both avatar threads pretty regular up until the 8th. Animated gifs or stills, no case is too small. :D

Hope mine is OK, might be a bit on the tiny side, and boring...

All is excellent. ^_^

If you get me your original image, I MIGHT be able to make it a bit larger for you. ^_^

Don't know if you'll like this one, but it was pretty much the only way I could make it work.

Isn't his/her original sig fine though as it's been scaled to a size that is within the rules '132px × 75px (scaled to 90px × 51px)' ? Or am I wrong ?

Actually, I think you're right! I goofed. I wasn't thinking backwards when I checked his avatar. :lol

Moop, your original one should be fine, but you might wait for Red Scarlet to be double sure.

I forgot who this Avatar belonged to, but their original version was getting scaled above the limit.
