New Rules for Avatars and Mini-Profile Backgrounds (Updated Opening Post: 2016)

reply to post by americandingbat


Thank you. I tried it, and here's what we've got. It just seemed to lift the location/mood higher up, which is fine.
No biggie. I might change the font color...(the only thing I can do), so it can be read.

You do know that blonde braid has not gone unnoticed. That should by MY halloween avy.
j/k..... It looks great.

@LIW-

(in the Halloween avi.) The only time I get to be blonde.... Lol

Yeah, I thought maybe it would raise the rest of the text high enough so that the background wouldn't repeat, but I guess not.

If you want the old one back, I saved it to check out how long it was. Its link is:

Sorry, I can't seem to negotiate with that link. But I'm not worried about it either, really. I'll just wait. Inwaiting. lol.

Thank all you guys for the suggestions anyway.

Just looking at the avatars on this thread have made me decide I need to go image searching to find a wolf like snowy background of some type. The background type avatars on this thread are absolutely beautiful! I might need to get one made for me, I am definitely avatar challenged in that way. The one I currently have is just off of google, and not long enough for a background.

I seem to comply with the terms but still my avatar won't work. It's 136x102 and size 2,66 kb. I don't get it.
BTW I also tried to change my GMT from GMT+4 to GMT+1. It just won't work.

Thank you for keeping that, I actually kept it also in the event there was some disaster, but clearly there wasn't.

T-Day is upon us!

Plus, I'm loving the bat. It's beautiful, and it matches your *misnomer*, but very cool username.

Can you give the link to your avatar? Is this it?

Place the above link (remove the space after the first "h") in your profile in the avatar field and hit the submit button right under that field.

Yup! Yours was one of the best ones I'd seen on here too.

I thought all these changes were to make the site better and it was going to evolve not devolve. Obviously not somewhere creativity is part of the plan.

I can still see my animated BG....so on Nov 1st that'll get put in the cupboard? Boooooooo!

You can take my avatar and background....but you will never take my freedom!

Phewww, ok I read the whole thread to make sure this question wasn't asked yet. I made my avatar in power point. It only uses inches that I can figure out at least. So, can someone please translate pixels into inches for me? Is every 100 pxiels a inch? Just want to make sure I get this right!

There should be something on this page to help you. And Here is an actual converter.

Metallic Monk I sent you a PM about the GMT.

An original thought will get some mileage around here, too bad this isn't one..

More Avatar sarcasm.... mmmmm

...Cause an avatar means nothing when it comes to posting quality posts.

edit on 9-10-2010 by LadySkadi because: (no reason given)

not from what I can tell. Not saying there arent useful posts on ATS. Just saying that people care FAR more for avatars and catch phrases than they do intelligent, well-thought-out posts.

nice avatar! S and F for you!
