Mine should be ok right?

 

[Cheesemeister]

Yeah. For example, a 50x100 image would display as 90x180 and be in violation of the rules.

Ah, gotcha. I noticed that the avatar for AnIco is 30x52, breaking the ratio.

 

[thetrin]

I don't understand why it's so hard to just stick to 90x120 dimensions. Anigifs I can understand, but jpgs?

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Is my avatar fine? I tried following that guide

 

[xero273]

Is my avatar fine? I tried following that guide

no, it's 90x132. If you are on IE, you can check it by right clicking on your avatar. select properties and you'll see image size.

 

[Cornbread78]

Does anyone know how to shorten the left and right sides of the left pic in paint just a little bit, so it meets the 90W reg.

@ Cornbread
In your case I believe your avatar will resize on its own to 90 x 79 pixels. which is okay. If I'm understanding the rules correctly, its the aspect of the picture thats really the issue. It has to be 9:12 (portrait style) or more 'square'. Any more 'rectangle' and you're in trouble.

 

[Cornbread78]

Thanks, now if I can only figure out how to add it and see, LOL.

 

[Lonely1]

Hope mine is alright.

 

[LaneDS]

Oh crud. Poor Sully needs five pixels shaved off of him. Didn't know about the scaling. Time to fix this.

Many people just don't bother--hence all the humongous avatars that look like crap when they get automatically scaled down.

It Begins!

 

[WillyFive]

Is mine fine? Or should I do something about it?

 

[Guv_Bubbs]

How is mine?
I had some trouble awhile ago but then I fixed it.
So an admin put my avatar back but did not give back my rights to change it. (I believe, it may have changed since)

 

[twinturbo2]

I think mine's good on the size front, snesfreak knows his stuff.

 

[Eurocult]

i just added my avatar. testing..

 

[LordAlu]

Is mine fine? Or should I do something about it?

"80px × 80px (scaled to 90px × 90px)" - It's fine.

How is mine?

"90px × 120px" - Yours is fine too.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

The voices told me I was being paranoid.

 

[alr1ght]

this isn't rocket science

 

[Eurocult]

this isn't rocket science

you're right it's not. Just a junior hoping to not screw up over something so simple is all. Even though I was just over by one pixel, a slight adjustment fixed mine.

Interesting that you can't right click and check size using the Chrome browser. I double checked in Firefox.

 

[alr1ght]

don't take it as an insult I used you as an example, just showing how to do it.

 

[cooljeanius]

Posting so I can check my own avatar... Edit: 100x100, scaled to 90x90, so that should be good.

 

[Stop It]

The voices told me I was being paranoid.

Well, my voices said that I wasn't interesting enough and ran off with a dead badger.

Anyway, aside from the juniors struggling, I see more people pushing the size limits using gifs rather than physical size nowadays, maybe I should stop checking every gif avatar when I see them.

Edit: And yes, I have a new avatar to celebrate the launch of Arcanum on GOG.

 

[Eurocult]

don't take it as an insult I used you as an example, just showing how to do it.

None taken. Thanks for showing people what's up.

 

[Kyolux]

So if mine is 200x200 (and under 150kb) it works fine? I'm really just testing to see if it shows up fine.

 

[GK86]

I asked in the other thread, but could someone please fix my previous avy? It was always small. Thanks.

 

[Scrum]

This is just a test.

Edit: It worked out just the way I wanted.

 

[regs]

just making sure I am ok

 

[sinxtanx]

Testing...just in case...

 

[sinny]

Checking...i think im fine

 

[timetokill]

this isn't rocket science

In Firefox 3.5.7 you have to click "Properties" after right-clicking the image, there is no "View Image Info" option.

Still not rocket science, just figured I'd point it out


edit: regs, sinxtanx, sinny, your avatars are fine. But really it's not hard to check yourself.

 

[speculawyer]

You might want to change the message subject to be all caps. A lot of people ignore the stickies.

Most people probably violate this. That 90 pixel dimension is pretty small . . . I had to shave down my already pretty small avatar.

There is going to be a lot of bannings or loss of avatar privileges.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

this isn't rocket science

Heh, exactly what I was thinking. Just right click -> properties and you're good (or not).

 

[Neuromancer]

Testing, testing.

Jammin' on the one.

J-J-Jammin' on the one.

 

[speculawyer]

Even easier . . . just right-click on image and then select Properties

Edit: Damn . . . beaten.

Properties is gone in the latest Firefox.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Mine okay? Don't wanna get banned over this.

 

[X-Burner]

Hopefully mine is alright.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

mines 100x100 scaled to 90x90 so that should be fine

 

[Jangaroo]

You can check a file size and dimensions using Chrome. Right click --> Inspect Element --> Metrics. You aren't looking hard enough.

 

[X shootemup X]

Testing my avatar

Someone let me know if mine is not ok.

It's 90 x 107

 

[Nobodyspatzy]

Testing...success!

 

[Lifejumper]

Checking to see if my avatar is correct..

EDIT: mine is correct right guys? 90p x 120p

 

[X-Burner]

Checking to see if my avatar is correct..

EDIT: mine is correct right guys? 90p x 120p

Yup looks good to me.

 

[Shanks]

Posting to check my avatar.

 

[Peronthious]

Avatar should be fixed. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Fuzzy]

So how about letting me be able to have an avatar,pretty please?

Next time read the thread title and do what it says before you ask a question.

 

[SirSwirl]

Hope mine is good.
