Want an Avatar? Look Here!

Hey guys,

As you all know, when you comment there is a blank/generic avatar image next to your post. These have been like this for a while and there is currently no way to upload your own custom image. There were plans to do this but other things got in the way etc.

Anyway, I've decided that in the meantime I'm going to accept your avatars and upload them manually, I just need two things from you in order to do this.

1) Because I don't have all the time in the world it would be nice if you could resize the image yourself, for now at least I need the images in 42x42 pixels and try and please try to keep the filesize within reason. It would be best to post a link to or the image itself (I think you can do this) in this thread.

2) Your full MTG Vault username.

I'll probably do these in batches once or twice a week for now.

Alright, I'm not sure if it's just me, but I'm finding 42 x 42 to be a magically difficult size to work with. Is there any way to do 45 x 45 or 48 x 48?

Do you have Photoshop Elements? You can use that to convert your picture size to what you want. That's what I did.

I can resize images if you'd like. :)

whitey... your image is hosted on your local machine so I can't see it, is there anyway you can upload it anywhere?

I think maybe you should. Some people here seem too lazy to meet you half way with supplying you with a correctly sized picture. I resized mine in mspaint, that's how easy it can be.

Hate to sound like a bot, but it sure sounds like you guys could use a browser-based, poor man's Adobe Photoshop.

Might I suggest http://pixlr.com/editor/.

It's quite handy. It let's you do most of the basic functions that photoshop has to offer, with a few glitches here or there. But resizing an image is a snap.

Give the admin a break! lol

I feel it is time to jump aboard this whole 'avatar' craze, and at least this one doesn't have James Cameron, or that bald kid...

But enough of bad jokes, I don't know if it's the proper size, but I can probably make it so if you ask.

Hey guys, I did say a while back on this thread that doing these take up more time than it's worth. I do have an avatar uploader on the list of things to do but there are many other things to do first and I'm currently working hard on another project (trading card-related) at the moment as well.

It's a much better use of my time to be coding new sites/tools/features than resizing, uploading and editing profile pictures. I promise I *will* get around to adding this to the sites at some point, just not right now.

Sorry!
