How do u get ur own pic to fit in the avatar? Every pic I find is too big. Is there a way to shrink there size?

Use an image editing program, like GIMP or Photoshop.

GIMP is free, by the way.

if you are getting one off of a search engine just select small images only.

I though GIMP was for linux? Is there a Windows version? GIMP is photoshop, hard to use unless you know it. Microsoft photo editor will be super easy to resize a pic with.

Just post the image. Someone here will scale it down for you (it's easier that way).

IRFanView also lets you resize an image and convert to another format. I use it mainly for the 'batch conversion/rename' function. Free to boot.

There is a version of GIMP for Windows. Im too cheap for Photoshop, so its what I use.

It's as if he doesnt know how to start a sentence unless it begins with What or How.

No ok all I was saying is before this topic I wasn't anyone special on this forum so I didn't get any attention. So I'm just saying that Defender wins and I don't care anymore and that I acted childish.

defender
07-02-2004, 10:00 PM
tyecko maybe you should take my advice and shut your mouth a little more and read whats going on around you...

you sound like some whiny little kid..me me me me me me me me me

I am not sure how you got 470 posts without EVER getting a little sarcasm from someone here.

You seem like you really have very little to add to this discussion anyways. You just want explanations. Once someone gives you an answer you want the answer explained.

What does this mean?
Will taht make u guys happy?
You sound so annoying in just about every post in this topic. You sound annoying in your PMs to me. This isnt a flame either..its an observation. OBSERVATION is a word you need to look up at dictionary.com.

1. You move your mouse (which is that little oval item next to your keyboard) to the URL bar.
2. You then Click the left button on your mouse while over the URL bar
3. Now type on the keyboard " D I C T I O N A R Y . C O M"
4. Press enter on the keyboard
5. You will see a form near the top.
6. Type on the keyboard " O B S E R V A T I O N" and press enter
7. Read the page that comes up.

I really hope those instructions are simple enough for you but I bet they arent. I assume half of what I typed will have to be explained to you.

I still would like to ask that you smash your computer. I would consider it a personal favor.

I think the even more disturbing thing is that you are the only person to have ever thought of it like that.

So what do I do next? Once I install it how do I get an avatar? How do I get the color red to be blue? Do I have to pay?

All tyecko wanted was a couple of questions answered about an avatar and look how it turned out. I almost pity the dude.

I downloaded IrfanView and the program does a good job with image resizing and converting. Thanks for pointing that program out PsyClerk.

lol, I really hope that was a joke.

I just use MSPaint copy and paste, then load the image with PhotoWorker. I'm not sure whats its feautures, but it does plenty of things. It can resize by ratio, convert to different image types, and stuff. Nothing much else I guess.

defender
07-02-2004, 10:28 PM
If you follow the thread you will get the joke.

And yeah...I do feel bad for the kid that we are on his butt so much over nothing...but hey I am bored.

So I gave the kid a verbal lashing...maybe he will get a positive lesson out of this. Like instead of asking for help on everything...GOOGLE.

Search at google for "image resize how to"
http://www.google.com/search?q=image+resize+how+to&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Seems to pull up a TON of useful results.
