To those already familiar with the original image, the avatar looks perfectly clear, but when the image is unknown, the avatar is often undecipherable. I had no idea my burning rose wasn't clear until Hiawatha said so. Back to top

To those already familiar with the original image, the avatar looks perfectly clear, but when the image is unknown, the avatar is often undecipherable. That is true. I must admit that I never thought of a burning rose when looking at your avatar Alan until you told us and I saw the complete picture. It seems so obvious now. In some ways it's like those optical illusions like this one. Once you know what the picture represents it's obvious, but until someone tells you it is hard to make out. Now Sir M, I'd like to see the full picture of your new avatar. I'm interested to see what the disturbing detail is.   -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

The text on the page works fine. Unless the picture shows Saruman's beard in a snowstorm, and is supposed to be all white. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

I remember playing Ultima Underworld II and beating it several times, so I know that use of "Avatar" too. Quote that would be nice if I could get the picture to load. The text on the page works fine. Unless the picture shows Saruman's beard in a snowstorm, and is supposed to be all white. As far as I'm aware, you need Flash to see the image. Maybe that's why you can't see it? -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: July 06 2005, 05:04 Now that you have said that Sir Mustaphas avatar is a picture of an all grown up Lisa Simpson, I think I can see a womans form in the bottom right corner and breasts, but what is the white thing? And I have lots of great pics in my files but can't work out how to get a http file name so I can upload on here as an avatar, any simple english advice? -------------- I hate getting up early.

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: July 06 2005, 08:12 Tricky thing, eh? In fact, all you see in the avatar is her face and hair. I think that makes it a bit more clear. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: July 06 2005, 13:43 Like TubularBelle, I would also like to use an avatar of my choice, but I haven't the faintest idea how to do it. I do not have a web address. And anything too technical scares the life out of me!! So any tips would be appreciated.

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: July 06 2005, 15:36 There are a couple of websites that offer free hosting for images. I can name two off the top of my head right now: Image Shack and Photo Bucket (which is the one I use). They're very simple to use, too: you upload a picture, copy the address they give you, and then paste it on the Avatar section of this forum. Of course, there are a few rules to be followed. There's a size limit to the avatar pic (64 pixels wide and 128 pixels tall - a wee bit small, imo, but who am I to complain), so it's useful to crop or resize the picture so they fit. I had to do both on poor Lisa, and Microsoft Photo Editor did it to me (though I recommend something non-MS like The Gimp, ). -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: July 07 2005, 23:55 Yeh me too, when I have my partner here to help me. OK Musty, is what I thought was a boob, her nose? I can see an ear. And is the white thing a pair of glasses? -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: July 12 2005, 02:40 Well Musty, It looks like Bee and I both worked out how to add an avatar except I got my partner to do mine so I'm actually none the wiser, Thanks for that. -------------- I hate getting up early.
