Is your avatar too large for our Avatar Guidelines? Or perhaps you'd like a custom avatar or need some other assistance to make your avatar just right? Post in this thread and one of our member artists may be able to help you.

(Edit 14 Dec '17: For general info on how to add avatars on SMF 2, see this thread - Sunflower)

So I've never been very good at getting my avatar to fit the file size requirements without turning it into a blurry blob. I'd love it if someone could help me out! I have a version of my bio photo uploaded here, if anyone wants to give it a shot! Thanks in advance. :)

Of course, I did just get a new kickass tattoo on my back... so we'll see how long I can resist the temptation to update all my pics to show it off. ;) I may need your help again soon, Juni! :D

I must say, I was very suprised to see 'my' avatar in use by another member.  I thought, "I don't remember posting in this thread."  So I suppose it's time to ask for help.

HELP!
I'd like to use this image.  All I have is Paint, and the photobucket tools aren't much better.  All it needs is resizing.
Thank you.

That's the drawback to the stock avatars - we may have lots of them, but some will be more popular than others.  I think of that one as "yours", too, and always have to do a double-take when someone else uses it (which seems to come up every few months, even when we were on SMF).

I'm not usually one of the avatar helpers, but a resize is easy-peasy, and this gives me a chance to play with, and get acquainted with, my new GIMP - I just upgraded my whole system from 2004-vintage stuff to current stuff, so it's a big leap in versions.

So here ya go:

I'd like to know why I have a purple smilie with fangs and squinted eyes, it looks funny and all but it's not what I want, did someone make it so I can't change my Avatar or something cause I can't find the option to do so and I would like to, if someone could assist that would be great!

The software creates one from your email address. you can change it. Go to Settings (in the menu at very top right.  Then select the "Edit Avatar" option.

This is what I'd like to use, but uploading it as-is to the forum makes it rather blurry. I'm not sure what, if any, image magic can be done to reduce the filesize (it's currently at just over 20kB)

All knowledge is worth having.
It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works.

Erm, never mind this.  I've got assistance from a friend elsenet; things are all shiny now.

Excellent. I saw your message late last night and realized I had not reinstalled my good "shrinking software" after my October reformat. I was going to try to find it this morning and see what I could do.
