Just a kind reminder to our "Newbie" friends to the site.. if your avatar is too big?? It makes people have to scroll to the right in order to read the posts.phjim wrote:1. Log in using your username and password.

3. Near the bottom of the Profile page find the "Avatar control panel" section. In the field "Link to off-site Avatar:" , enter the URL address of the picture you want to link to. You should include the name of the gif or jpg file. Your avatar size should not exceed 140 x 140 pixels.

If I may ask again.. as kindly as I can?? PLEASE, PLEASE!!
Your avatar size should not exceed 140 x 140 pixels.
If you're not sure about the size of the pic in your avatar?? Right click over the picture - go to 'Properties' then 'Dimensions'...
If the pic is larger than 140x140 - it takes up too much space on the posts, and people with smaller monitors have to scroll to the right in order to read the posts.
Thank you.. thank you!!!!

I collect lighthouses. Mostly large lighted ones, but small ones too. I thought it was my mermaid, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I loved that, now I lost the link, I dont suppose you know which one it is? since your the moderater.SMLCHNG wrote:I LOVE THAT LIGHTHOUSE!!!!!
And it's generally the pics in the avatars that are the problems.. not in your sig line.

And no, I don't know what the link was. Once it's gone, no one is able to view/retrieve it.
