Fix your damn avatars

Post by Tetrad »

Look, how hard is it to edit your profile to not point to somewhere that doesn't exist anymore, or abide by the oh-so-simple file size rules?

Edit: those of you with working small avatars, you go girl!

What is the filesize limit, anyway? It's not mentioned anywhere in the FAQ or the user policy for users and moderators.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Arial" size="3">1 Your filename MUST match your DBB user name, or we will delete it.

2 We prefer you use your D3 logo/avatar if you have one.

3. Your user avatar should be in gif or jpg formats only.

<b> 4 Animated avatars can have no more than 8 frames.

5 The total size of the uploaded banner can be no more than 15K.</b>

6 Icon dimensions MUST be 64x64 pixels, if they do not meet this size they will be removed from the server.</font><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

These rules were posted not only for people who had icons on the DBB server, but also for those that host them elsewhere.... these rules have always have been applied as such. Use some brains and stop posting huge icons for the 56k users.

33.6 - 56k actually, but who cares? Limit is 15kB regardless. I don't know why this is so damn hard to comprehend for some people. Of course this wouldn't be an issue if SOMEONE would bother to check their e-mail mailbox and send Topher the info he needs. Image (Avatars will be upload to this server only. No hotlinking at all.)

And it's actually rather disrespectful. "I'm so important that others have to stop and let my 300KB avatar download." Even if it's not rule, it's courtesy. Have a little, won't you?

Except that it can't truly be a copy, because every browser has a different image for that Image.
