I would like to use my avatar how can I?

It has to meet the 125 pixel rule and be posted on the internet somewhere. You can use a hosting service, the web space your ISP provides or have someone host for you. You then enter the URL in your profile.

If anyone needs a picture hosted, I have a web site on a co-located box (game server) that I can put images on. Just email it to me & I'll email you the URL when it is in place...

email: cgibke@compuserve.com

A hint - JPEG/JFIF format (*.jpg) is probably best...

[Tourmeister]

Actually, the GIF format is best. It will usually give the smallest file size. This is important for those poor souls out there still forced to access the internet with modems... ;-)

Adios,

[Gilk51]

Yeah, both GIFs and JPEGs compress well and are native to most browsers in use.

I just didn't want them sending BMPs... :-?

Can any of you admin types resize my avatar. I've tried to find one that meets the rules and meets my requirements but I REALLY want the 59 logo because I am a dues paying member of the 59 club. It would be easier if I could upload from my own compy. I've tried putting it at another site that would host my pics but it won't load up properly.

I don't wanna cause trouble for anybody, but I need help. I really like this website.

Help!

See below! :chug:

I have it here, if you want to just use this URL:

It should be there a long while if you need it...
(It is the same one that Kidder posted)

Thanks gilk!

I too could use some avatar assistance. I guess the avatar requirements changed a while back and I never adjusted to it. Here's what I have. Could I please get some re-size and hosting assistance?

Kurt,

Is my avatar too big?

[kurt]

Yes. It is 180 pixels and the maximum is 125. Coming from a fisherman, and involving a fish, I'm not surprised. :lol:

The URL you list does not have a file with an image extension (it could also be a directory). It needs to look like this:

http://www.texasarlingtoncs.us/pics/smilies/dance.gif
which displays this: http://www.texasarlingtoncs.us/pics/smilies/dance.gif
