I tend to agree with Stryder. Of course, I couldn't make a Rygel avatar look that attractive, but I guess it works.
I, however have a simple and stylish self-made avatar. Go me, I rock. My squestion still stands. how is it that some people have avatars larger than 40x40? Maia for instance has an avatar that's somethnig like 43x47 pixels in size. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! To see how large an image is just right click it and go to properties. . . if you're using a mac. . . well. . . who cares about you? Go get a computer with a friggin' mouse wheel.
Mine is simpler and better suited to be a small logo like image. It also has the slightly suversive quality of containing five extruded points.
Some older users. Wraith, for example, still has the same, large, animated one. Some people who had defaults set and then left now have an oversized avatar, because even though it fit the restrictions then, it doesn't now.
For reference the color of the header bars that your avatar will be on have an RGB value of 233 233 233 In hex I believe that in hex that's E9E9E9 I tried to just make a png with transparent backing, but for some reason that didn't seem to want to work, maybe it's my copy of PhotoShop, but I also noticed that right clicking my avatar as it shows up in threads says that it's a gif, so maybe it's just something to do with the bizarre inner workings of the sciforums which are not known to me.
yes, that is interesting. i uploaded mine as a plain old JPG and when you check its properties here on the form by right clicking it it claims to be a gif.
It might say they are all .gif but if you look at the extension when you try a "Save Picture as" command, it goes to the right one (gif, jpg, png)

It should be noted that Jpegs don't save an alpha channel. In other words, no transparansy. If you want a transparant backing it's got to be gif or png. Hmmm . . . we can't upload animated avatars. . . can we upload animated or interactives SWF files for our avatars?

Well, they still have avatars from the time before the size limit was established. But you could ask Porfiry if you can have a bigger avatar, but I doubt that he will give you one. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
