Avatar rant
 

Don't just copy the URL of an image you want to use as your avatar. At the very least make sure the image you use is the same height and width, since rectangular images show up all distorted when resized to 80x80.

Ideally, resize it to an 80x80 jpeg to save bandwidth and load time. You can host it at imageshack.us or wherever.

You should at least post instructions on how to accomplish what you're whining about. Not everyone knows how to edit images.

Load times are not a problem for me. I actualy like it when I can copy and paste the URL of an avatar and see a bigger version of it. 80 x 80 is sometimes too small to see what's going on. I could have easily changed my picture on the left to an 80 x 80 version, but I figured I'd let savvy people copy and paste the URL and see me in all my beauty.

Anyone this dumb shouldn't have an avatar.

Um...Just use MS Paint to do it. Under image, you can stretch/skew, so you want to make both sides smaller, almost always in the same proportion. You can also check under image, attributes which will show you how many pixels high and wide the picture is. Just stretch/skew until you get to 80 x 80.

www.imageshack.us is the website to use to host pictures. Save as .jpg in MS Paint, since I'm pretty sure it defaults to .bmp.

Anyone that whines about a problem without having enough sense to post a constructive way to fix the problem is a certified idiot.

Sorry dude. The truth hurts.

Re: Avatar rant
 

I prefer when people copy and post. I like to right click, view picture for a bigger version of Macdaddy's crazy hat or Smiley's giant intimidating stare.

I forget who it was, but someone had an avatar that was actually a gigantic picture of lindsay lohan or something. Maybe PoBoy123? It was like almost a megabyte.

That kinda stuff bothers me.
