Buffy Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 ...it says they MUST be 50x50....I think you're saving it as an "icon". Just try saving it as a normal jpg and you should be fine! The mac wants "Icons" to be 50x50... Cheers,Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I think you're saving it as an "icon". Just try saving it as a normal jpg and you should be fine! The mac wants "Icons" to be 50x50... I'm not familiar with this...where does it limit "icons" to 50x50? Is "icon" a file type on the mac? :hyper: EDIT: Asking because I do use a Mac and have never had this problem. But then I use Photoshop for everyting. But yes, the jpg or gif format is the way to go.

Yvonne Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 ___Oooohhh Yvonne! Do you quilt? I have wanted to quilt some of my Katabatak patterns Tormod is musicalizing, but I can't sew a straight line. Is you avatar a quilt you made? ___Uhhh... I keep changing my avatar...it's kinda fun but I hope not distracting.:hyper: It's actually a small 3 * 2,5 inch - not really quited but the letter H is sewn on. I do quilt, patchwork and purses... but I usually make my own patterns as I go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaelcarp Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 My avatar is a guy in a hot dog suit. I use it for a forum where I post a lot (over 5000 posts there), and it just grew on me. I picked it out because I thought it stood out well and I wanted to be able to see my own posts clearly in threads. It led to me being commonly referred to as "hot dog," which is funny because I don't eat hot dogs (not the beef variety anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babbler Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Have any you played Civilization? You should, it is one of the greatest games ever invented. That where I got the avatar. It is the sciencitific leader from Civilization 3 Conquests (which I don't have). I thought it looked cool, so I stole it from the Civfanatics forums and resized it fit the dimentions of the board.

Right after I bought it, I broke my ankle and was out of work for a couple of weeks. I just sat there ant played Civ3 all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1ay Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I thought it was a chair! LOLYeah, it gets kind of funny because members explain their avatars and then change them without changing their explanation. If you scroll up you'll find this one now:Mine is a TI-83+ - my favorite calculator.I must say that this is now the first TI-83 calculator that I've seen that looks like a neon kitty cat :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrmdave Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 It's a very unique edition of the calculator, they only released it in Japan and Britain :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 How about an on-topic post?My avatar's a wombat. Wombats are cute, and an article I read in "Natural History" magazine claimed they are the most playful marsupials. They like to run at each other as fast as they can and knock each other over. The author described them at play as "frolicking fireplugs".I have never met a wombat in person, so if one of our Australian members tell me they smell bad, I'll be sad. I might change my avatar to a quoll or binturong, then.We have wombats down the back of our place. They're really interesting animals, but they've got no respect for fences, small trees, and other objects that you'd normally tend to think of as immovable. They make quite impressive burrows -- I'll photograph some next time I'm down near our creek and post them here. Sadly, they have no road sense, and are nocturnal. They make a shocking mess of your car's bodywork -- twisted chassis are not uncommon -- if you hit one. :hihi: They also often don't survive the experience themselves. :xx: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a variety of whistles available to fasten to the cars bumper to scare them out of the road as you approach. They go by names like Deer Alarm and Deer Alert and work with various rates of success. Perhaps a similar approach would work there with the wombats.
