I just signed up and wish to submit my own avatar. I log in and when I click on "Submit Your Own Avatar" a window pops up telling me that I must log in! But I AM logged in. Or do I only THINK I am logged in? Am I truly here? Is this a test to determine whether or not I actually exist?
Thank you from a potential non-entity.

Hi craiger. Indeed, there have been some problemd with avatars. I know that Dave (whose name you might have seen around SFN once or twice) is working on it, and may even have a solution!
In the while, feel free to post anyway. We won't hold your temporary avatar-less nature against you! |

I had a similar problem recently and sent the image I wanted to use to Dave.  |

I hear you. My avatar is all squished on these forums (and only on these forums).  |

The good news is, once your avatar works, it will appear in all your old, "unavatarred," postings. In a similar matter, updated sugnatures will appear in all old postings you've made.

Thanks for everybody's replies! I just might send an avatar of me getting slammed by the hood of a 66 Datsun station wagon. Or maybe getting my foot sucked into a vacuum cleaner (yelling "Suction! Suction!") |

dglas, the avatar you submitted was not square, so when I turned it into an avatar for you, I kept the aspect ratio as it is in the original. Here:
 versus 
The one on the left isn't stretched. The one on the right is horizontally stretched to be square. It's "fat" compared to the original. I also think the "thin" version is what appears in the original video.
In other words, I bet your avatar is wonky on all other forums, and is only correct here on the SFN. |

That's a new one on me. Why don't you email me the image you want to use as an avatar, and I'll set it up for you lickety-split. It'll be faster than submitting it through the site, anyway. My email address is below. |
