Avatar - y r u so wide?
« on: January 03, 2012, 12:50:48 PM »
I've noticed that now your avatar has to be exactly 100x100 or else it will get automatically widened. It doesn't look pretty, even when I edit it. :(
Is there something we can do to save ourselves the time editing it to fit perfectly? Maybe some option that I can't find?

I don't know of a way. I edited mine with the assumption that it would keep working that way from BG.

I'm not sure, but you may be able to save it as a PNG for transparency to get rid of the white boarder for rectangular images. I'm not sure if you're allowed to upload PNGs or not.

PNGs work fine.
Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

My avatar is PNG. Do I have to do something special to make the white parts disappear?

Did you just download it that way or did you edit it yourself? If you edited it, you'd have to save the white parts as transparent. Whether or not your browser renders the transparent parts properly might be a different issue (I seem to remember older versions of IE not supporting this).

As for editing it, Paint won't do transparency, but GIMP and Photoshop should.


Edit:
I tested it out and made a transparent version. Would you like me to email it to you?

It already was PNG when I downloaded it, but it most probably wasn't edited into being transparent.

You emailed it and it works. Thank you.
