Avatars

[JonathanD]

So good to see everyones avatars restored to the bigger square versions again. Coming back on after the upgrade, I struggled to remember who everyone was as you couldn’t make out what their avatars were with the shrunken round versions. And some were completely lost in translation. Seeing then all back up as they should be has been a revelation. They are like faces, and now your faces are all back and I can relate your names to those faces. It’s like seeing a bunch of really good friends again for the first time in years.

There is a downside of course. You can see TeeDees face in a larger higher res than before

Harsh. But fair.

Mine doesnt fully fit in the box as it once did. Don't suppose anyone knows how i can sort that do you?

I know what you mean JD, when someone changes their avatar, i dont recognise them initially.

Re upload it. The forum upgrade years ago reduced it and compressed it. So if it was low res to begin with, it will become pixelated when enlarged again. But if you re upload it. It will be back to its former glory.

Im just fine.

Still can't see the wee knife in my avatar's hand though. I don't think it was quite as dark when I first uploaded it all those years ago.

You can, just - there's no blood on it

Oi! I'm a good vegetarian

 

[Toddy]

That said, I have peeled alder that honestly ran with sap that looked like blood. Weird.

 

[Broch]

Well, it's called the bleeding tree around here! (but maybe that's because it's so hard to split once seasoned )

It’s good to see your full avatar back Mary. I’d forgotten about that ickle blade there.

I never knew there was one. lol. Just saw a South Park thing.

It's the wee teacher from South Park. There was a link to make avatars and things like colours of clothing, hair, accessories etc., could be altered.
So, she's in OD, long dark hair and has a wee knife in her hand.
It actually does look like a cartoon me
