BTS : Avatar Creations

What I really like about my new avatar is that he is almost always points directly at Carl's Eel Face Soup... Its good food

Ok, It looks like I have a problem with my avatar! I have stretched to the limits it says on upload but still it doesnt fit for some reason!

Here is the Avatar I want:




This is the size which should be showing on my Avatar but as you can see, the bottom half wont fit which means I need to shrink it even further!

You want that image in your profile background spot, right below the avatar. Resize it back to 180x480, and put it there.

You'll also want a blank gif for your avatar spot. 74 has a link to one up above. (read back a bit).

I did what you said but it hasnt worked!!

Ok, looks like i've got the length correct but my image is screwed!!

I think I am going to clean up and sharpen your original image a bit. It looks as if it has been copied quite a few times and there is a lot of distortion if you don't mind. I am on my way out to the store so it will be a couple of hours before I get to it but in the mean time maybe some others can help you get the placement figured out. This may help...www.abovetopsecret.com...

The image you are currently using is 235px × 1,814px

Use the one you posted a bit ago instead.

Na.. still not working!!

I have resized my avatar to 100 wide by 240 long and my background image is 200 wide by 700 long.

Looks like the ava is still too wide!!

Why is it overlapping the background image?

Cheers for the help... I'll be back later....

Use this image as your mini-profile background...



and this transparent image below (between the lines) as your avatar.

Finally!!!

I figured out what it was... its the bloody browser 'Opera'... for some reason it has big probs with certain codes and stuff!!

I had to close down and set it up in Firefox!!

cheers!

That looks great I have been inspired by you guys to
try and get into the basics of 'Gimp'. just found a tutorial to get started.

What are the basic size of the Mini Background so i can play around a bit.

Thanks

Hmm.

I run Opera as my default browser. No problems.

reply to post by Druid42


Happened with another site on Opera where I needed to change a password.... I changed it but the site wouldn't acknowledge it... only when I shut down the browser and then opened it again, was I able to then use the new password!!!

As promised here is a cleaned up version for you. I brightened the brights and darkened the darks. I also moved the "word" Aries up into the frame. I noticed that the way it sits in the original the A is completely obscured. I think with this set it will sit between your stats and therefore visible. If you would like some more work done just let us know.
