Oh I know the tool, Im being being a smartass. I prefer using Free Transform because I usually have to resize my images anyways, so I keep to my process

You still need to change the link in your profile; the too big one is still being used.

I don't want an avatar. Can someone get rid of this text < ?
Red Scarlet

You could post your regular one and someone can resize it. If you want no avatar, just change the url on your profile to a fake url? and maybe then nothing would come up after I change the thing.
For MagicJackBauer:
There is a valid avatar below here
and above here.
It's the emperor's new avatar
. Don't forget to rehost.
Edit: You can also save the one at the following link if you don't want your posts to stretch to show your unseeable avatar. It's only 1 pixel high, unlike the other 90*120 one.

Updated the op as there's already been a repeat offender. After a couple of 'offenses' I'm probably just going to keep you with that avatar.

I have to uncheck your 'custom avatar', are you just going to go with a blank one?

Yeah, it was getting scaled to 90x125 since it wasn't 90 across originally.
My browser shows this, so I nuked it:
The forum makes any avatar 90 pixels across, so if it has to add some width, it adds the same ratio to the height, and that's where most people's avatars become too big. Easiest way to fix yours is to chop off some of the bottom, or add some blank space so it doesn't expand.

It's probably been posted before, but this site's pretty handy for resizing/editing images: http://www.online-image-editor.com/
I use it all the time.

I changed it back to show that above pic of the resize making it too big and in case you fixed it while I was asleep, which looks like what happened.

Yeah, plus Irish Carbombs are my favorite drink too. Double aok!
Red, you don't need to undo a user's avatar restrictions to show them stuff like that. Just turn off the "Show Avatars" option in your User CP. It only hides the modded avatars for some reason, making it perfect to take screenshots of how the avatars look unmodded.Red Scarlet said:I changed it back to show that above pic of the resize making it too big and in case you fixed it while I was asleep, which looks like what happened.

I'm used to the way I do it though (I don't change them back more than once very often).

Clipper, what are you using to make your GIFs?

Steps for the Family Guy one were:
1: Take a 135*180 selection (1.5* seemed good to avoid artifacting)
2: Crop to selection
3: Convert to RGB (indexed colour doesn't scale well)
4: Scale to 90*120
5: Convert back to indexed (GIF needs it)
6: Optimise Animation for GIF (to reduce size, some frames are made as a difference rather than redrawing)
7: Check size of image
8: If too big, drop some unnecessary frames from original image
9: Repeat steps 6-8 until file size was small enough
10: Put a longer pause on the final frame
It was kind of fun. The way it sort of loops is pure coincidence, though. The last frame of him putting on the jacket (which is now the first frame of the GIF) actually makes him look like he's just undoing the cord when you tie it to the end of the other sequence. It probably could have been made better if I dropped the first frame and added the real frames of him undoing the jacket later, but I couldn't be bothered to do any more after I noticed how good it looked with that one frame in there.

Thanks guys. jet, you need to change the url location of your avatar in your profile.
No his way is easier to visualize. You can move around the image to frame it right without having to figure out in your mind how it will look with the sides chopped off. You can also shrink it depending on what shot you want. It's like the canvas is the viewfinder in a camera and you're looking at your image through it.OneEightZero said:Some users are missing this awesome program. ^_^
I'm gonna tell you something that will change your life... because I cannot believe you've been making avatars this way all this time. :lol
Open your image in Photoshop. At the top of the screen, click Image, then click Image Size and resize the image to how large you want it. Then, to the left select the Crop tool. It looks like this.Once you have it selected, there will be a series of tool options for the crop tool at the top of the screen. Set the width to 90 and the height to 120. Select the section of the image you want for your avatar, then hit return/enter.
All done. No free transforming. No copying the size of a moderator or anyone elses avatar. You've done it yourself. ^_^

Post what you want to use, although going by past events it looks like you might get yours changed back again by somebody.

My avatar was 84x120. Didn't know about the scaling thing. It suddenly stopped working, so I fixed it and relinked to the fixed one in my profile.
Please help me, avatar lord.
Thank you.
