Roberta's pies and pumas

Hey Andy, There's no accounting for taste.

Hiya Timber, I still owe you a hotdog. I think I may actually understand what you said. Do I get points for that? Had to read it a few times, but I think I know what you mean. I'll try later. Either you or his lordship can help me.

Deb, This fancy shmancy computer stuff just doesn't go into my brain.

I had a girlfriend that wanted to do that to me, once.

I've just got a very basic photo processing programme, and click the "adjust" icon, and one of the options is "resize". Click that and two little boxes appear, in which I type my desired dimensions.

Easy peasy......

Send it me, Deb (if it's decent - I find that smut isn't good for the ticker) and I'll PM it back to you in varying sizes.

Can I send in a pm?

I don't have your email.

'Course you can!

I'm sitting here, bored rigid. I've even taken to reading Gus's posts in detail, rather than just skipping over them.....that's how bored I am!!

what was the response, because I submitted a ticket and never got an answer.

Actually, we did answer you (I know, I wrote it m'self), it's possible your mail program binned the response. Confused

Anyway, I'm escalating this as you're not the only ones who've had issues.

A few months ago, I spent about three hours trying to get a picture of Pacco and Sally downsized enough to use as an avatar. I kept getting it very close, via Photobucket, but most of the photos I tried seemed to "grow" during the transfer. I posted that garden painting photo because it was the only one I could get small enough.

Well, Reyn had a thread recently with a great site for resizing; this was the thread -
http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=86792&start=0

This is the handy easy to use site he reported on that thread -
http://www.resizepic.com

I tried it just now and it worked. It would help for people to know the max pixels for width and height, to fill in the form. On this photo of Pacco and Sally, I picked 90 width and 70 height - just guessing, I knew it was something like 100 x 90 max - and it worked the first time I tried it.

The support team did it!!! No longer nekkid. Lemme live with this for a while. As I said, I found others I liked more, but this is here, and as long as it is, I might as well walk around with it and see how it feels.

I have a bunch of stuff to do later and would prefer not to spend more hours looking for what is somewhere in the morass of icons out there.

LE, I probably will be back. If you're busy then, I'll understand.

Thanks to you and Timber.

Soz, I love tigers, but this one looks a little grumpy to me, which is why I looked beyond.

We could work out captions for this tiger...

Well, from my practical point of view, 90 seems to be the top number.

90 wide by 100 high works fine, Osso.

These will all fit, Roberta, if you're not happy with Mr Grumpybags the Bengal.

LE, Excellent choices. You clearly do have a bit of extra time on your hands.

The four avatars I had chosen were two leopards, one a tiger, and the last a wolf. Love them all. But the one I couldn't find was my top favorite animal. The cheetah. In fact, somewhere in the archives is a thread I ran asking what three animals would you be? My first choice? Cheetah.

As for taste, I'm sure that you've seen JL Nobody's avatar. I chose that one when I first got here. Gave it up when I found out it belonged to someone. I like the drama of the eyes. However, a face that exhibits some expression, preferably not ferocity, would be fine.

Thanks,
R (That pushy person from Noo Yawk)

PS: If you don't wanna do this or if you get busy all of a sudden, that's fine. I think I'm being tremendously presumptuous.

Here's a couple of cheetahs to add to the menu selection:

If you want to use either of them, let me know and I will email it to you or you can download it from here. If you need help doing that, let us know.

Foist, I gotta say that I never cease to be amazed at the generosity and bend-over-backwardness of a2kers. I thank each and every one of you for helping and indulging my avarial pursuit.

I stopped looking at avatar sites and looked at photograph sites. Found one with a wonderful cheetah shots. Decided to stop there. I chose a few because I don't know how easy they are to crop or how the shape or light will work. But each of these faces is the essence of cheetahness to me. I want the avatar to be mostly just face.

Here's the link. Note that the address is the same for all, but the number of the photo changes:

I couldn't sleep, so here ya go, Roberta. I like the 5th and 7th ones. They're hypnotic.

ah damn thats probably what happened.
i hate my mail doing that.

what is the response?

0 Replies

Well, the best thing I can tell you is, let us know exactly which avatar you want. As in, misc. section, sixth row from the top, second from the left, it's mainly blue or whatever and we can try to post it for you.

That annoying person is back. C'est moi.

While butrflynet was creating images for me here (I'm grateful), Lord Ellpus was doing the same in a PM (I'm still grateful). He sent me instructions for getting the pictures into my files and entering them here to get the avatar. I followed the instructions. First with a photo from one and then the same photo from the other.

In both cases, I received the following message: The avatar filetype must be jpg, gif, of png. My response to this is, "Huh?"

What am I doing wrong? I right-clicked on the image. I saved it to my documents. I couldn't open it in my documents, but I thought it would work here. No go.

Thank, both butrflynet and LE -

I see I mixed it up when I said 100 & 90. Back when I was having trouble that day doing resizing via photobucket, I would have something under those pixels, at less than 6 KB, and by the time I went to put the avatar on a2k, I would get a notice from a2k saying it was too big; then I'd go and check it, and it was indeed too big. Weird. Anyway, Reyn's suggested site works just fine, and I'll just use photobucket to store original photos from now on.

(Sorry to interrupt, Roberta.)

One thing you might do while waiting for smarter people on this matter than you and I is to right click on one of the photos above and then click on properties (I think) and then click on open image in another window.
It will, and the url (address) at the top will have jpeg (or one of those) at the end. You can then cut and paste it into the box on a2k's avatar form.
(If that is the question you were asking...)

osso, bubbele, If I knew the question I was asking, I might not be asking it.
