Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
What is the software used to create said avatars and upload them to photobucket?

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
To upload stuff to photobucket you don't need any special software (other than a regular browser).
To make a avatar you can use any image processing program you want to use or are familiar with. Free options are GIMP or Inkscape. If you want a stick figure avatar Inkscape is probably the better choice, because it is a vector based program, but I haven't used it, so I can't say anything about it.
And probably this sort of questions is better be asked in the Arts and Crafts subforum, too

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
The maximum avatar size is 120x120 px. Yours is 120x150, so you need to crop and/or resize it to be 30 pixels smaller in height. If someone created it for you, you can ask them to edit it, or if you created it yourself, edit it in whatever program you used to make it. Some hosting sites also allow you to edit a hosted picture, but as far as I know, ImageShack is not one of them (may be worth double checking, though, as it's been a while since I used it).

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
If you only have an iPad, I don't know the answer, sorry. I do know that there are image editors which can resize it for you, some free, some not, but I do all my editing on the computer. You can also upload it to a site which allows you to resize the image after upload. But, again, I do all my editing myself on the computer, so I couldn't tell you which sites do that.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
On the first post in this thread, Gorbash Kazdar says:
It is suggested you read over the avatar and signature rules before you get started so that you don't run into any problems later.
"avatar and signature rules" is a hotlink to http://www.giantitp.com/forums/announcement.php?a=39, but when I go there, I get an error:
Sermil, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Unfortunately the OP is a bit outdated (it was done before the forum software updated, and even then it was out of date). The Avatar & Signature Rules can be found as part of the regular Forum Rules (which can normally be found in the upper region of each forum page).

The OP is a bit outdated (we had a forum update since then).
Click "Settings" in the upper right and then find "General Settings" on the left (or take this link). At the bottom there are avatar related options.

Is there a way to still resize avatars? Not seeing that option. Also, I don't have permission to view the rules concerning them.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
I want to ask why my avatar url link will not work, but its kind of hard to do when you apparently cannot post the site address without a post count of 10 or higher, even in a thread whose entire purpose it to help newer people.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
The most common problem is a space in the url. (Which will display as "%20") If that's not the issue, then Hamste's suggestions for posting will get you on the path to getting help.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
1) Why is there no upload allowed?
2) Why does the site not have a mechanism for resizing images properly.
3) Why does the site not allow direct link urls that have too many characters?Games: D&D 3.5e, Pathfinder, and D&D 5e.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
1) Basic necessity to keep the forums running.
2) Because they are not uploaded to the server, so the server has no control over them.
3) I think you answered your own question, they have too many characters. A limit needs to be placed somewhere, and the current limit allows the vast majority of use cases for using images hosted on sites designed to allow you to upload and embed images.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
Please don't colour the text of your posts red. Red is reserved for official moderator messages. Additionally, please don't colour the entirety of your posts a different colour. It can greatly affect readability, quotability, and moderatability of your posts, and if it becomes an issue may fall under the "excessive formatting" rule.
We will not be going into the details of how the forums run behind the scenes. Suffice it to say, most other forums aren't as large or busy as these are.

Re: Setting Up A Custom Avatar
I'm trying to get a custom avatar.
As you can see, it's currently looking incredibly zoomed-in and blurry.
The problem is that this is not the avatar before I've tried resizing it so that it'll fit.
This is the avatar after I have resized it. The version that I'm currently using is 80 x 80; before that it was 117 x 117, which was slightly less-zoomed in and slightly less blurry, and before that it was 150 x 200.
Paradoxically, it was the 150 x 200 avatar that was the least zoomed-in and blurry - it didn't quite fit in the 'box', so to speak, but it was actually recognisable.
Can anyone explain what's going on and how I can fix it?
EDIT NOTE: I have tried using Gravatar links as well. Despite the fact my link differs only from a friend's in the email hash at the end (since obviously we have different emails), his works and mine doesn't.
EDIT 2: It's finally working, though for no explicable reason.Last edited by Magery; 2016-08-26 at 08:33 PM.
