Greetings.
« on: April 22, 2002, 05:46:01 PM »
I do believe, for the name of the forums, that my name is already known by the userbase... I have a question, how can i resize my personal picture to something of more decent display proportions?

Respectfully yours,

- B.C.

MrB,

The forum automatically resizes any image used as an avatar to 65X68 pixels. If you'd like your photo of Barn to display more in proportion with the original image, you'll have to crop a copy of it in some way that's equal to that ratio and then upload the copy to your Web space.
I notice that the original image is 222X307, so cropping it to 222X232 would work. And you could even resample/resize it to 65X68 before you upload it.

I hope this helps. ;)

Also, I took the liberty of going into your profile and adjusting your signature because you can't use straight HTML code here. We use a form of HTML called YaBBC (check out the posting page in the Help topics).

I took your original code:

Code: [Select]
<p><p align="center"><a href="http://pub13.ezboard.com/ftheallsparkgeneraldiscussion/"><img border="0" src="http://www.bluesclubonline.com/crew/Barnabas.jpg"></a></p>  
and translated it into YaBBC:

Code: [Select]
[center][url=http://pub13.ezboard.com/ftheallsparkgeneraldiscussion/][img width=300 height=300]http://www.bluesclubonline.com/crew/Barnabas.jpg[/img][/url][/center]

As you can see it's mostly just a mattert of changing angle brackets into square ones, so someone like yourself who knows HTML probably won't have much of a problem picking it up. [wink2]

The MB
