CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Now that the avatar size checking has been fixed, I will be deleting any avatar from the database that is larger than 90x90 pixels and 15k in filesize using an automatic script. Just thought I'd give some warning.. and provide an explanation for those who find that their avatar has disappeared.

whoops... restoring now ><

Restoring? O_o

I deleted ALL the avatars by mistake just then

Why did you limit the size to 90x90 specifically? Most of the avatar selection I choose from is 100x100.

A pixel limit must be set, otherwise people will upload really large avatars that mess up the table structure. We happened to chose 90x90 originally. It's very easy to find avatars that are 90x90px or smaller.

Wish I wasn't too lazy to check my av size

Edit: I guess it's fine then

I think mine's like 65 x 65 or something;;;

Heh, I resized mine.... then, tried to put it back in, but it wouldn't let me, saying that the picture file size was to large. So, I check the original file size and it was 128k! Oops... sorry that I wasn't conscientious about the file size and image size. I'm still trying to figure out how it was that large.... I saved it as a Jpeg.

oh this is just peachy. mine has to like like crap before itll fit

If you save a JPEG as "best quality" then it doesn't compress at all -> large image... saving as a GIF or lower quality JPEG would have made it smaller.

Oh, gotcha', thanks! (Saves me time of redoing, stuff) I always just assumed JPEG made it smaller and thought non the wiser. Oddly, my version of Photoshop (v5.0.2) doesn't let me save as a Gif, so I have to go through M$-Paint.

tried that. paint sux

Yeah, I hate what it does to the colors. -.-;;;

I do my avatars at 60x60, or 80x80 at the most, and gifs. It's pretty easy to do. If anyone needs help, contact one of the graphic artist people on here, me included.

oh dear

Ruroken, if you want I can host your avatar. ^^

i think its weierd how i changed mine to a smaller one and it returned to my bigger one

My new avy doesnt work.... it has 17.5k

Urrrrrrrgh You Deleted Mine Didnt You????

I've already deleted any avatars over 15k in size.. still need to find a way of clearing out the ones that are bigger than 90x90 pixels.

yes, if you want a website to host a avitar go to
http://www.iownjoo.com
It's where my boyfriend (he hosts my avatar there for me) if you can't host it through here(I'm still lost how to host here, but that's because i'm being lazy and haven't srunk my avatar....) you can sign on there....
hope this helps

Thanks for the heads up as to the deletion of the avatars!

okei dokie

Oh~! and this whole time I thought the limit size was smaller than this~! *laughs* ^___^
