[how to] cut it out with the avatars
 

Some of us like to browse and post from work machines and people having garbage like cat penises for their avatars is pretty fucked up.

Or just browse and post without being nauseated .

FYI, you can disable showing cat peen avatars on your options page:

Lol was wondering what that was

Instead of making a new thread, this one seemed appropriate lol

Avatars,

It seems the sizes are 'ok' for fitting on the page.

I dislike that the .png images still show in white w/ border (see my current avatar).

Also, why such a small margin on size? Even some of the simple gifs I'd like to use will never be below the 29.3 KB :vash: I'm not asking for a 1MB size, but a small bump would be nice. :fael:

y8s, what option would one change to make that happen?

uncheck the box for "show avatars"

CTRL-F it.

Thanks. And I should have thought to CTRL-F "avatar".

that's actually quite odd...

n/m just looked at the code. i see why.

let me fix that.

crap i dont have access to the templates anymore... ill get it fixed--eventually.

:bigtu:

i haz fix.

Heh wait, the message board background is all gone. WHAT DID YOU DO????

And I only have '-- MT 2011' as a theme option. Nobody's names are showing!

Now if you could just resize everything to the 150 pixel width so it's not all jagged and shit.

8-bit Hitler.

is that from an indiana jones game?

Lol Brain's avatar.

No idea. I just did a Google Images search for "pixel hitler" which returned an animated GIF. I took a still-frame and trimmed out the background to make a transparent PNG.

That said, if a person wants an avatar which looks decent, it's up to them to size it properly. Any algorithm which automatically corrects one image during resize will fuck up another.


Not many people knew it, but the Führer was a terrific dancer.

So this is what I see...

The sidebar gradient background image is missing, & post box bottom gradient background image. Not sure what else :hatecat:

The front page seems to be fine...

looks like IB did more than i asked...

i told them to change two lines of code, so you know that means go ahead and break other things for no good reason.

whatever. looks cleaner. except that your new lines of code make your avatar wider than the rest of the layout.

I'm just glad that we could all come together and save Andrew from having to see white borders around beloved cat penis avatars.

There's apparently some resizing going on. My 600px widecat avatar gets squished to 195px.

that was always the max size.

all i asked was that they alter two things in the class .avatar in the .css.

I'm not complaining about this. :likecat:

it used to be 150....

...wide load.

i made it 200 px like a year or so ago... cause i wanted a big avatar to break the column

And this also looks like garbage now...

:hatecat: rawr

thats always looked messed up since IB came along...like 3 years now or something. lol

if you remove that extra div they added with thier logo it formats better. can you tell im lazy?

does it look better to you now? i made some css changes.

yis, looks gooder.

I think it's missing a background that use to be behind it :dunno:

More concerned with thread posts looking bland :cry:

Something something, rabble rabble rabble

is it the alt1 & alt2 in the css missing background img links?

yeah they reverted a few templates back to stock like haters. im going back in and fixing, been a while, gotta find where the turbo gradient class i added was. then we should be back to normal.

My hero! Smoochie smoochie!

now you just need it under the avatar area.

Don't overwork him. You already got one fix out of him today, how much more blood can possibly be in that stone? :giggle:

Also, :likecat: for the fix :D

I know what i have to change in the code, i just gotta find what stupid template the code is in. They basically wiped out my custom skin i built when i asked them to remove the background color and border of the avatar class.

when they went into the styles, instead of just removing those two lines of code, they were like wait this skin isn't a default skin, and literally wiped out everything fun about it.

it's missing a LOT more than just the gradients.

take a look here: https://web.archive.org/web/20150329...ro-pics-63769/

look at each post how it's wrapped in a black outline, then has a 3D feel to it... they removed all that from the templates and on top of that, they completely removed any version history so I cant even go back to a previous version of the templates.

this is what happens when you ask for things...

:fawk:

there; bastards.

From the archive link, WOW :eek3: completely different. Couldn't put my finger on what else was missing. The 3D look is vury naice :likecat:


Edit: How about that avatar file size limit? :dealwithit:

bc.. :eek4:
