Avatars are here!
 

So I finally managed to install an avatar mod, it took lots of editing asp files and finger crossing. :)

I have to manually add avatars from URL's, or upload them from my hard drive, or ProPain can do it too.

To get a URL added to the list of available avaters either post a URL here or email the file to ProPain or myself.

It is also possible to make your avatar exclusive to yourself, so let us know if this is the case.

Any size constraints?

In the avatar settings I can set then to 64 pixels or 96 (or smaller), and it appears that they all get stretched to this size (and maybe shrunk if they are bigger).

Which size would people prefer? At 64x64 your CFC avatar would look fairly normal, but at 96x96 you can have a bigger avatar...

?
Image properties of your avatar are:
65 x 58 pixels


Size doesn't matter ...
ok, I'm kidding. Personally, I'd rather prefer a fast page, so 64x64. Otherwise, the images will be drawn from browser cache anyway, after loading once. I might also turn off images in my browser, if I want it real fast, so 94x94 for the fun of it.

I'm undecided/indifferent.

anti spam!

added your avatar ERIKK.

Nope. When I right click on it and look at properties mine says 64x64.

ERIKKs avatar has stretched to fit as well, I will investigate stopping this from happening.

That's interesting.
I do the same with Opera 7.01 and it keeps saying 65 x 58 pixels.
and for Erikk's 65 x 49 pixels

Otherwise, if I look at the html it says:
img src="Avatars/Anarchy.jpg" width="64" height="64"
??
But wait, maybe this are the original dimensions of your images?

BTW: couldn't register with Opera. Had to use IE.

@Anarres - I will be sending my Avatar via E-mail to you :). I just have to poke through my HD to find to. Or should I link up the link to my Avatar at CFC to here?.

If you know the link of your avatar then link it, but if not sending me the image is fine.

I hope it works.
Thanks,

CivGeneral: Added.

If you want it to be private let me know...

Everyone may use my avatar :p

I hope it works, it's supposed to have a transparent background.

Added Shabba, and the transparancy works too. :)

If I could have this set up as an avatar (exclusive to me) I'd be one chuffed newbie:

Consider youself 'chuffed'. :)

BTW, that looks amazingly like some horrible torture method - where's it from?

Muchos gracias :)

It's from the cover of one of my favourite albums, but it's nothing as unpleasant as it appears. Just someone peering at a dessicated viperfish.

Ooh! Look! What a pretty avatar! Thanks!

Eklektikos, I just moved all the avatars locally to this site, but yours was unavailable when I did this. As and when it is available I will make it local also.

:D

Added Sween. :)

Eklektikos, I moved your avatar locally to the site and switched you to the local version.

cool! thanks! is there any way you can make it only available to me? i wouldn't want anybody to steal my avatar ;)

Available only to you now Sween.

Help! Look at my avatar! What happened? It isn't even round any more!

That work?

Added WildFire.

Let us know if you want it to be private.

Shabba, fuck knows what's going on with your avatar, I will have to try and make sense of the asp code. Maybe at the same time I can get it to leave the images at original size, and just have a 100x100 max

I think that's what it tries to do, resize it. It's a bit different every time.

Please add

as my avatar

lol!!! You are a freak ERIKK! ;)

I will add it tonight if PP doesn't beat me to it.

I plan to look into installing the upload feature this afternoon, if I get it working I'll put up the avatar too (and my shiny new one too! :) )

Thanx..

The UN is free to take for everybody on this board!

It's available now Erikk.

EDIT: made a mistake, corrected that, available now for real. Made it personal, let me know if you don't want that

By that I mean anyone who supports ManU is a freak, not just you. ;)

Read back, it is Col who has this request, not me. I assumed you both saw that...

I am an Ajax fan and van Nistelrooij was PSV player... (one of) the enemy!

sorry Erikk, I was confused by col's blatant misuse of your avatar :)

Fixed that now.

Col, your avatar is named ManU and it's private unless you say o/w

Oh my avatar and mine only please?
