Custom avatars not functioning again?

telefragged/ugo's php upload was broken universally, doomworld wasn't the only victim

Heh no, it was something else. I meant a few months before they broke.

It took time to sink in. :D Like when you lose your arm and you don't notice it because you don't see it yet. Yeah, exactly like that. :D

I used to be that oldschool. But I got sick of it.
I'll just stick with this customly Admin supplied avatar.

It's a 256 color PNG, so there's no quality loss going to GIF. I changed it for you.

excellent.

Maximum avatar dimensions changed to 48x48.

Thanks!
Also, is it forbidden to upload real gory images, similar to what we see in MAP27: Monster Condo, but not from Doom?
Or satanic imagery?

Just use your noggin. If it's against the forum images policy, that obviously extends to avatars. Let's just say this : if your avatar can't be safely viewed in a work-place, then you probably shouldn't have it.

Whee now I can finally change to the avatar i've been using on all the other doom forums I frequent :P

Ehhh...why? Now all the sizes are weird.

36x36 is pretty friggin small when you think about it. 48x48 is still small but it's easier to make stuff out. Don't worry we won't ever go to 125x125 300K animated GIF avatars or anything.

It was my suggestion to go with something like 50x50, since that (or 48x48) seems to be the size a lot of messengers like AIM use, so there's already massive libraries of images that size available that people can leech from without having to be hassled about resizing.

Ahh..Now this is much better. :)

Cheers that avatars work again. :)

Yeah, now we don't have to play "guess the tiny blob of color". Though I'll miss that game... ;_;

We can still play it with Psyonisis.

Even though these are 36x36, don't forget the awesome fish gallery of awesome:

I want creepypedophilefish :(

Hooray for slightly larger and marginally improved Q3 style Lost Soul.

I always wanted my own fish something black with angry looking red eyes and spikes, I might try my horrible artistic talent on one of the other avatars :p

Or maybe an skullfish :)

It's getting huge! I hope my body can take it!

The thread title explains all... why is this so?!

What avatar are you trying to use?

I always wondered what that avatar Tormentor667 is using is supposed to be.

It worked for me.

size may be an issue if it is larger than 48 X 48 or some of the other things mentioned in the recent announcement post. Or is it an usupported pix format?

No PNGs allowed.

Welcome to the stone age! :(

Remind me again why we can't just add PNG to the allowed list of file extensions.
