Admins,

My avatar/sig line privileges were revoked in the past due to avatars being too large and/or out of specs, as nothing will show up when I post. I have added the below pic in my profile and would like to get it all to show up again...please..




I now see....Images should be approximately 30 Kbytes in size. Anything larger than that causes threads to load up slowly. Avatars should be no more than 150 pixels in height and 150 pixels in width. Signature images should be no more than 150 pixels in height and 400 pixels in width. To view an image's pixel size, right-click on the images and go to Properties. The dimensions are shown as width by height.

your humble and devoted servant,
AtlBrett

Would rather not have to create a new account

If only there were a link to guidelines and frequently asked questions to find out something like avatar and sig specs.

Normally I wouldn't support this request.


But your suggested avi pic makes me so I approve.

They need to do that for all admins, imo.

well it needs to be revised apparently.

I got this message "ADMIN: Your image is not appropriate...please choose a new one...thanks"

I don't really care if this is my avatar but I'd like to know the rules for the future


6 Kbytes file size (less than 30Kb)
32 pixels wide x 75 pixels high (less than 150x150)

In what way is the image inappropriate?

Are animated images expressedly forbidden? Because the rules don't reflect it, and there are uses who have animated avatars (notably the blinking chicken)

Hardly excessive.

You posted a gif that is 1645Kb and contains 24 frames.

My gif was 6kb and contained 4 frames.


But apparently the Guidelines have been updated since my post, and animated images have been forbidden.

Q: Are there any requirements for avatar and signature images? A: Images should be approximately 30 Kbytes in size. Anything larger than that causes threads to load up slowly. Avatars should be no more than 150 pixels in height and 150 pixels in width. Signature images should be no more than 150 pixels in height and 400 pixels in width. To view an image's pixel size, right-click on the images and go to Properties. The dimensions are shown as width by height. Animated images are not allowed. If you need assistance, please post on the Help Board.

They've been forbidden as long as I've been here. There are several that are grandfathered in though

Chicken should look into this. He could put a link maybe that says ">> Guidelines/FAQ"

I support the idea
