My avatar's been removed? wtf? by albert on 02-13-2005 at 08:38 PM

hey can some1 explain to me why did my avatar get removed?

RE: My avatar's been removed? wtf? by Rik on 02-13-2005 at 08:42 PM

You must broken the rules

-Large dimensions and file sizes are not allowed because they can affect the layout of forum pages. The rules for posts apply to avatars/signatures as well.
-Maximum avatar width: 150 pixels.

Your avatar was huge. Please resize it so the width is 150 pixels or less.

i thought the restristion made the sig and avatar fit into the regulation by clipping it to the preset size limit...

That isn't reliable, since it depends on the viewer's browser, and sometimes it doesn't work. Mods still remove avatars and sigs that are too big.

Nope, they don't. I tried putting in a big picture, think it would clip. Took up like 3/4 of my screen when I previewed it.

RE: My avatar's been removed? wtf? by Joe on 02-15-2005 at 04:23 AM

but it DOES do it with the signature right?

RE: My avatar's been removed? wtf? by WDZ on 02-15-2005 at 04:26 AM

It's SUPPOSED to resize avatars and cut off signatures, but like I said, it doesn't always work, and cannot be relied on.

WDZ: What about using the css overflow: y; property and a predefined maximum height in the CSS?

It would show scrollbars for long signatures.

RE: My avatar's been removed? wtf? by WDZ on 02-15-2005 at 05:17 AM

The sigs are currently using CSS. :p

I don't want scrollbars... they would be ugly IMO... :dodgy: The overflow is just set to "hidden."

Yeah, looks like an iframe. :o

I was wonfering how you did that.

overflow: hidden
height: 100px
pseudo, but you get the idea. Too lazy to do it right.

Like that?
RE: My avatar's been removed? wtf? by saralk on 02-15-2005 at 10:45 AM

iirc, i suggested doing that once.

So i like to think im responsible for making sigs smaller :p
