GreenJediGrinch Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Maybe I missed somethign somewhere, or I am just a retard.....but how do I add a custom avatar to my profile? I can't seem to find where to add the link in. Any help is apreciated.
setsuko Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 1. Click "user cp", that is at the top right of the page. 2. There, click "Edit Options", it should be next to "Edit Profile" and "Edit Password". 3. Scroll to the bottom. Under "Other Options", you'll find the avatar part. 4. Click "Change Avatar". 5. Again, scroll to the bottom, there you'll find: "You can enter an URL of your avatar" and "You can upload an avatar from your computer:" Choose one of these options, and your good to go! (remember to make sure that your avatar has the right size!)
swphreak Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 remember to click "Yes" by the "Use Custom Avatar" or something like that... just make sure there's a check in the box by "Yes" at the bottom area. That confuses some people.
GreenJediGrinch Posted April 1, 2003 Author Posted April 1, 2003 AH HA! Thanks guys....I thought that by clicking the "change avatar" button that I was accepting the changed done to the avatar, not doing them with the screen it broght up so I never clocked it. Now I just got to get my turd of a friend to shrink my image. Thanks again.
Sounds Risky Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 I've got the best avatar ever. <----- Best avatar EVER.

UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 How do you make something 70x70? Just edit it in photoshop or something? I can't seem to get the picture smaller. I'm using Microsoft Paint. Everytime I try to make it 70x70 it cuts most of the picture out. Little help!
setsuko Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Well... I don't have that kind of problems, since I use Adobe Photoshop. I don't know how to do such things in Paint. For me, it's like calculating graphs by counting on your fingers.
Wraith 8 Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 I agree with Setsuko.. Adobe photoshop all the way i think my avatar and banner are ok
Jackrabbit Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 I like mine, but I'm getting a little bored with it. Don't be alarmed if I suddenly change it

I can't seem to get the picture smaller. I'm using Microsoft Paint. Everytime I try to make it 70x70 it cuts most of the picture out. Little help! Using paint you will want to click: Image Stretch/Skew Now, enter matching numbers in the Horizontal and Vertical values. i.e. If you want it to be 50% smaller, then enter 50 and 50. If you want it to be 25% smaller, enter 75 and 75. Hopefully this was helpful.
UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Thanks! That helped a lot, I'll do this when I'm at home. Don't really have time right now. Got a lot of work to do.
MandalorianRage Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 A better way to make it 70x70 in paint is to go to edit, then select all, then click image and then click attributes. Then you can just make the length and width 70x70(pixels of course!).
Deft Aklin Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 Yes, but that only adds blank sections or deletes part of your picture. My way he keeps his picture, though it might be a little distorted.
shidobu Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 Originally posted by Wraith 8 I agree with Setsuko.. Adobe photoshop all the way i think my avatar and banner are ok nice banner, except that the stripes on the X-Wings would be Grey, unless that's supposed to be Wedge. Oh, and would Face really fly a Naboo fighter?
Wraith 8 Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 LOL!!! 1. Thanks for the comment 2. No Face would not fly a naboo starfighter unless the mission called for it. that is my personal favorite 3. I know they should be grey.. i tries to get them grey.. but i messed up so many times that i gave up... so i left them red Nice Wraith squadron logo.... got it from Aaron Aalstons site?
Sounds Risky Posted April 12, 2003 Posted April 12, 2003 Quick job, not perfect though Direct link http://www.speakeasy.net/~mattshoemaker/images/xwing.jpg
Wraith 8 Posted April 12, 2003 Posted April 12, 2003 hmmm that looked good...... what ifi send you the original pic of the x-wings.. and you do it again.. but on that pic instead of the banner? cause then i can Re-do the banner
Sounds Risky Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 I can give it a try. mattshoemaker@speakeasy.net
RenObiOne Posted April 13, 2003 Posted April 13, 2003 In paint use the stretch/scew option. Then keep reducing your pic till you get to 70 x 70
