    Default Avatar Pics

    Is there any way to enlarge someones avatar.

    I have tried saving the pic and zooming but due to the small size they need to be to get on the forum, the enlarged image becomes grainy.

    I have often looked at peoples avatars and wanted to have a better look at them as they are too small to see any detail.

    Cheers, Jack.

    Get a magnifying glass and hold it up near the screen. About the only way I know without losing resolution.

    My avatars are usually around 400x400, and around 50 kb's, and they let them through no problem.

    Avatars are automatically resized as are all pictures posted on the form.
    Joash's avatar is 68x80 and 2.65kb in size.

    Its tricky to get a good picture in there. I've found a few good photos on the net I thought were clever, but shrunk down that just look bloody stupid.

    I've run out of ideas of what to put in there. I had picture of me head in there for a bit. But got tired of looking at myself.

    Thanks for the answers fellas.

    I thought it may be possible to track them down through a URL to get a better look at them.

    Oh well

    Cheers, Jack

    Trust me, for some of them it's just as well you can't get a better look!
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Yeah don't worry. I didn't want a look at some of our members ugly mugs.

    Some people do have interesting avatars that are wood work related

    What a pity, I have a 6.8mb copy of mine I could have e-mailed to you.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    I think you'll find Cliff, he was after a closeup of my bearskin, just to determine what type of bear it came from. I could have told him its a very rare apricot mammoth, not a bear at all.
    Boring signature time again!

    This 'very rare apricot mammoth' you speak of; doesn't happen to drop out of trees onto unsuspecting Homo neanderthalensis var. sepsis touristis crushing them before they have a chance to use their Châtelperronian flint knife by and chance?

    This will soon be better known as the world's foremost Drop Bear Forum.

    Actually, I think Jack is after Ruffly's avatar.

    I've put a link to a larger version of my avatar picture in my auto signature.
    Regards,
    Ian.

    A larger version of my avatar picture can be found here. It is a scan of the front cover of the May 1960 issue of Woodworker magazine.
