Is your avatar a bunch of crappy text? The thread to fix that lives again!

My avatar was fine...? This was it:
GAFAPRIL2010.jpg


EDIT: Hmmm, must've been my animated one I had for a while. just realized it was 4 kb/s over. Sorry XD
 
It'll be about 90x123 or so, it doesn't just add 6 pixels. Try cutting off a few from the top or bottom. Or post in the avatar request thread at the OT, and someone will probably easily add blank space so it won't be expanded a bit from the resize (and thus a little blurrier).
 
Hi there. i'm currently trying to make an avatar using GIMP. it's 90x120 but 210kb. I can't seem to find the option to delete specific frames to get this under 150kb. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

edit: figured something out using another program that allowed me to remove specific frames. But I still can't get that option in GIMP. It used to come out before as a separate box (toolbox, box with pic in it, and frame box). Anyone know what I'm talking about and care to let me know how to get this?

Send it to me, I'll fix it for you.
 
So can I have my avatar privileges back? If true, and if it's possible, I would like this:

To replace my admittedly noob-ish avatar right now :( One of my first mistakes in GAF...

Thanks beforehand.

You need to set it in your user cp. The 900kb/NSFW-ish one is still set.

Kensk, your too-large one is still set in your user cp, too.

Oh, I apologize. Done. What else is required? That pic is not violating any rules, I suppose?

Red,

is the following kosher for an avatar, or is the purple language too much?

Someone else had/has that, and I don't know if he got it removed or not, so afaik I guess it's ok. If not, it's easy to fix.
 
Anyway I can get my avatar switched?

I made a mistake with my avatar 2 years ago when I was a junior, and would like to finally have it changed.

To this if possible. I'll have to resize it.

Can someone please resize this gif for me?
Very quick and dirty rushjob (90x102 px), just to see what level of detail you will be seeing:

...at least it compresses well.

Seriously, keep that Mario Avatar.

Nope, I can't fix avatars anymore. This thread is pretty much dead now.
 
I had a lot of fun helping you guys out with these. Hopefully someone will continue it, there's always a nice little satisfaction with helping people out with a smile. Good luck with wherever life takes you.

You're not a mod anymore? :(

Out of curiosity, why did you step down?

You're gone? :(
 
Fixed my avatar. I was an 80x80 avatar abuser. If I can get mine changed to my more updated avatar, that would be more than swell!

Oh my God, what happened?
 
I'm gonna assume responsibility for this here thread. I'll get started with the couple people who got stranded without a hand at the very end here and move on to anyone else who wanders in after this point. Everything in the OP should still be accurate so take a look at that if you need help getting your avatar working within the rules.

EDIT: caliblue, you're clear. Your desired avatar, at proper proportions (tinypic link, should be safe to use directly):

Alright, time to get rid of this crappy text and get a real avatar. Uploaded this one, should be within the guidelines, hopefully.

Would really appreciate it, let me know if anything needs to be changed.

You're all set.

That particular avatar scales correctly to 90x120, but you may want to look into making a version that's exactly the right size by padding it out with transparent pixels or something so it doesn't scale very very slightly on display.
