Sup, a quick question.....are there any pics of black and bright anyone knows of? I'm trying to make a back-to-back black and bright av but I can't seem to find the right picz. I would draw them myself but there is a minor problem.........I suck. As for the pics themselves I would of course ask the author's permission and edit the pic to have both of them in it.

Can anyone help or at least just hint?

Surprisingly (or not) that is addressed in the Board Rules.

Hi I was wondering, if it is possible for someone to resize this avatar and take it´s animation away (acording to the rules it´s forbidden).

If it is not possible, just plain old thanks for trying!

Thanks in advance

OK, I've clarified the section of the rules on animated avatars.

I believe my movie file note was the confusing issue; I meant that people shouldn't use mpegs or suchlike as avatars (yes we have seen this in the past.)

But that was confused into no animations in the shortened rules list.

Provided avatars stay within the file size and pixel size limits then animation is allowed; unless it loops ridiculously quickly and distracts people from the post (yes we've had these before as well.)

The file size limitation means that for the most part any animation isn't worthwhile.

The best thing to save your image as is a jpeg you can still have the 80x80 without having to shrink it. Jpegs dont ruin the color that i know of like that of gifs or other files. Mine was saved as a bmp heres the difference of my pic for those who would like to know

PNG - 17.8 Kb
TIF - 21.8 Kb
GIF - 8 Kb But ruins the color
BMP- 18.8 Kb

and the best one JPEG - 2.85 Kb

So as you can see I dont really know much about pic save files but JPEG some how compresses it or something and it dont ruin the color at all from what ive seen in my pic. So if you want a 80 X 80 with out having to shrink it until its small enough to fit use a jpeg. And remember even though it somehow compresses it 80 x 80 is the limit, if you want to see what size the image is Scroll over it with the arrow and a box sould pop up showing its size and its width and height. Also note that it dont work on animated ones. Hope that helps. :D

Lower the resolution, and it should be fine.

Well its 34 x 78 pixels in dimensions so it fits that criteria and it is only 959 bytes for a JPEG file and according to the info lucreborn post up it seems fine.

On a minor note to lucre. JPEG files have more colors than any of the other formats which is why the pictures look clearer.

Well it does kinda mess up the colors and it'll look good.......as long as its a JPEG but you might as well delete it rather than try and revert to the original image (not that there is usually a need to, unless certain sites forbid JPEG).

I'm usually not good at asking for help, but I'm embarrassed to say that I cannot find a suitable picture of Nanami to use as my avatar :oops: . And I was wondering if anyone could help me find one to use. It would be nice if it was already fitted, because I'm not good at that kind of stuff. Thanks for any help.
