Beej asked for avatars
« on: January 21, 2005, 10:15:53 AM »
I poked around backstage, and enabled avatars.  It says there are some common ones to choose, and you can point to one elsewhere, and it says you can upload one.  I haven't tested all these possibilities yet.

Also clicked a button that says 'enable html'

Caution if you want to upload an image as your avatar: they have to be under 6KB in size (which eliminates all the pics I have here at work).

That's the preset size limit; I can change it.  If you have photoshop handy, it's easy to keep an 80x80 pixel image under this size, but I don't really care; I can change the size.

This one looks a little better. I think I just have to recrop & resample the fedora pic to make it look a little better.

LOL! Yeah, that's what this forum needs- it's own slaughterhouse (and yes, I had to look it up).

(shakes tamborine) Yeah!

I learned the word in an old Python skit -- where Cleese thinks he's designing an abbatoir when in fact he's been asked to design an apartment complex.

"The people enter here and the moving sidewalk takes them into this room where they are disembowled...   Oh. I hadn't correctly discerned your attitude towards the tenants."
