Avatars
 

Hiya all, right i have a little problem i want to change my avatar but every picture i try to put on it says its too big! pha. i have tried to google for pictures that are the right size but it only comes up with ribbish!

Re: Avatars
 

If it’s not an animated gif just a picture then upload it here, in a post and I’ll resize it for you.

Re: Avatars
 

Just re-size the picture in your photo editing software
If it is animated open the file and take a few frames out

Re: Avatars
 

If your running xp use the microsoft photo editor, upload a pic you want to use and then click image, then resize, then save, then upload it. This one was twice the size.

Re: Avatars
 

were can i get the programme i need to resize the pictures and is it expensive?

Re: Avatars
 

maybe it is here can you resize this picture i want to use it for this month with halloween!

Thank you,

Re: Avatars
 

This is the right size now, altered the colours a touch as well and sharpened

Re: Avatars
 

Just found an easier way to do these avatars if anyone else is interested.
When you post a picture on the forum it always shows a thumbnail of it below your post, the thumbnail version always comes out at 100pix on the longest side, if you right click over this image then save it to your pc you have the picture at the right size. Its not the best way of doing it as some I have tried come out at 3kb (Hornbill pictures) but still look OK at 100pix wide

Re: Avatars
 

I see it worked MUMMIBOO :-)

Re: Avatars
 

i saved the big picture and it didnt work so i tried the little one and that worked thank you K.S.H.

Its just a shame i will have to post it on here everytime i want to change it.

Thank you again.

Re: Avatars
 

See my post above for an easy way of doing it, but if you do post them someone will re-size them for you

Re: Avatars
 

Strange. When I attach the gif I changed for you it messes it up and the animation does not work. It works fine before I upload it.

Re: Avatars
 

I resized the animated gif using “GIFWORKS” very handy online software.

I have also taken the liberty of inserting the gif into your avatar for you.


KSH for some reason I cannot see the gif you have done, only white box and red X

Neil's gif is also the correct size and should work.

Re: Avatars

Re: Avatars
 

Well you have mummiboo

Re: Avatars
 

i know but the only way i can do it is to post it and then save it and then it is small enough to use as my avatar!! so you see im getting clever in my old age.
