Title: Why my Avatar is so messy?
Post by: Jonzu95 on October 20, 2010, 09:45:34 AM: I saved my Avatar as .PNG and this is the result? Messy Avatar... Why some of the guys has good quality Avatars? :ermm:

Post by: somestrangeguy on October 20, 2010, 09:52:14 AM: Was it .jpg before? Switching from jpg to png doesn't fix the mess of jpg.

Post by: Noodle on October 20, 2010, 12:14:04 PM: If you would I could take the picture and try to clean up the artifacts in Photoshop, but I can't guarantee that it'll fix everything. JPEGs can thoroughly ruin images for good.

So lower-quality images would be needed for that.

....Or something like that, I'm not really sure.

Post by: NFX on October 20, 2010, 05:07:34 PM: JPEG works a lot better on large photographs than it does on small avatars like yours, with well-defined edges and sharp colours.

Post by: Jonzu95 on October 20, 2010, 05:14:48 PM: My Avatar normally looks good, but GTM Turns it messy... :frown:

Post by: GoldenFox93 on October 20, 2010, 05:23:45 PM: Sounds annoying, Jonzu. Sometimes, I'd have that problem when I used to try and post GIF avatars.

Post by: NFX on October 20, 2010, 07:46:37 PM: Something else I've noticed about avatars, is they're not being shrunk anymore. Pwn's is only slightly too big to fit in the regulation 150x150 space, but Nar's is just taking the piss. =P
Title: Re: Why my Avatar is so messy?
Post by: Jonzu95 on October 20, 2010, 07:48:05 PM: I just noticed that too...

Post by: Badnik96 on October 20, 2010, 08:26:32 PM: Hey! Why is my avvy so small?
Title: Re: Why my Avatar is so messy?
Post by: NFX on October 20, 2010, 08:28:17 PM: Because it's not being resized anymore. Which is why Nar's avatar is ridiculous.

Post by: Little lost bot on October 20, 2010, 11:44:01 PM: What I'm wondering is why one AV (its always random right now) is out of size now, it started today.
Title: Re: Why my Avatar is so messy?
Post by: NFX on October 20, 2010, 11:47:56 PM: It seems as though avatars aren't being automatically resized to 150x150 anymore. Which is why some avatars look different.
Title: Re: Why my Avatar is so messy?
Post by: Little lost bot on October 21, 2010, 12:01:23 AM: Wonder why. I guess ACAMS might be trying some thing new? happened to the: Show unread posts since last visit. Show new replies to your posts feature. When some thing new was put into that. Just thinking aloud.

Post by: NFX on October 21, 2010, 12:02:53 AM: Yeah, the Active Members was shown at the top for a moment there as well, saying "this is a test". I imagine he's just trying out some new ideas with the forum to see if they work.
