Avatar Question

[elthirineer]

Hey guys!
I've just been curious on signatures, now I haven't had one as I have not been able to find a pic (that I actually like, and see) that fits the picture capacity.
I was wandering if there is a way to 'shrink' down a pics size to be able to apply it, or is there a car load full of pics hiding somewhere on the forum that I can choose from (a couple of other forums have that)
Thanks in advance,
Elthirineer

if i want to scale something down for ulthuan, i tend to go to:

Thanks, I should be able to find out how in due time, right now though, off to school!
thanks again

Alternatively, www.imageshack.us has a dual image hosting and resizing feature.

The answer to both questions is "yes", although the latter is more a "yes, sorta".

Picture files can be reduced in size in any good photo editing software. If you don't have or can't use good photo editing software, providing a link and asking (if it's an online pic) on the forums can work, or if you'd prefer, you can email me the pic and I'll re-size it for you (and if you ask really nicely and include your username, I'll stick it to your profile too).

The answer to the second question is more complex. There are many repositories of avatars, both here and other places on the web. Ulthuan does have one, but it was crashing the script I used, so I took it offline. It's on my list of things to sort out at some point. I do also have various avatar galleries from various places, containing hundred of pictures on a whole variety of subjects. Many can be found on my photobucket account at: http://s716.photobucket.com/albums/ww163/OurBurningSun/
