just a sugestion, but i think the limit on avatar size needs to be tweaked down a bit. when i put mine in (wich i use on other phpBB boards) came through absolutely gigantic. i took it back off for the time being so you all dont have to stare at a 150x150 pixel picture

Yup

I had the same problem. I scaled my image down to the size suggested with Photoshop and placed it in my web shots account.
It works just fine now. GP's site automatically scaled it down for us.
Has anyone else noticed the lack of spell check? :shock: I will miss that.

I might be able to find a spell check mod for the forums, I'll look into that. Yes, unfortunatly it won't resize automatically... but hopefully it shouldn't be a problem for most people.

Well, you need to have an image that is the right size and place it out on the web. You can use an image that is already out there and copy paste the URL into the Avatar box. You can also make a custom image and post it in a web shots account. Then you can past in the URL. I did the later and it worked just fine. Just remember to check the size or the picture will take up the whole screen when you post. :shock:

I'll make it so you guys can upload the avatars to my server, and maybe even find a resizer. There's a lot of phpBB mods out there I can install if I can find them.

aha

I seem to be having some problems resizing my avatar. It's 75x75 in my photo folder, it's 75x75 on photobucket, but it's 150x150 here... Image


Okay. Got it figured out. All better now.. Image
