if i recall, she was getting imap4 errors. things have been hectic, so i've not been able to actually look and see what they were.

hell, they might not even be originating from your server; i'd been checking my own mail from her computer previously. i'll know for certain tomorrow, though.

Hello one and all,

remember me, I'm the guy from Nashville that came to Sanctus and wore a vinyl suit lol Anyway, I just remade my account here and I was wondering if my avatar was in violation of the rules governing them? If so I'm sorry and I'll fix it. If I do have to fix it, how do I do that without having pixelation? thanks for the help.

I remain,

Brian

wow, they sure are whoring you out with those resize requests. :mrgreen:

i'm teaching myself the finer points of php right now, and i've just gotten into playing with GD. so if anyone wants to try an automated resizing, they can go here and upload their image. often, it'll do the job, if the image is simply. however, if you want specific resizing done (i.e., some weird height:width ratio, color correction, watermarking), you'll still have to ask someone to do it for you.

and i'm almost certain that i'm losing some raw image quality somewhere within the program, too. this is because i suck at math. go figure.

i do review pictures that are resized, so if you're worried about privacy, don't use this service.

sadly, I don't mind helping, makes me feel useful

yes, but this doesn't contrain the proportions.
(what this means is that unless your image is a perfect square, then it will squish it like it did on the old boards.)

whereas I have developed the ability to resize pictures with my eyes closed, using only my other 5 senses to magically perform this task.

you see, implementing that would be "work". i'm lazy.

my sixth sense only lets me find nasty photos and offensive home movies on the internet. i want a refund.

I finally got one up ...lol

People, please don't post avatars larger than 128X128 pixels. If you need a pic resized and don't know how to do it, post a link to the pic in this thread, and someone will help you.

If you ignore this, we'll just remove your avatar for you.

-Thanks, the management.

Avatars - Ignore at your own peril!!!

I don't know if my avatar is ok

Me again
