I feel like I just landed on a new planet!
It looks like a whole new world here folks. I haven't been around for a while for many good (and I do mean Good) reasons - Much project work and I am now a Renaissance Sonar user. Although I never left 8.5.3 - much client work prevented a parallel upgrade. I am excited about the new products and feel the pricing scheme is excellent. Especially compared to Avon's offerings for Partial Tools. No flame just humor attempt. I just migrated my content from the old forum and when I checked my Avatar it seemed 50 stories tall - so this post is to say hey to my old friends here, wish everyone a new year and see if I need to edit my potentially obnoxious avatar.
More later ...

It seems the Avatar is scaled properly in the thread but on the thread list page I'm sure I'll get banned if I can't figure out how to reduce it - ugh!!!

I don't even know how it did that. There should be image height restrictions coded into the CSS for avatars.
But yeah... that's pretty obnoxious but happy new year to you too.

I just used AdBlock to remove the image on the mainpage. The nice thing is the properly scaled one shows up in the thread so I still get to enjoy the pretty dancing colors.
ooooh aaaahh

Guys - it means a lot to hear your typing! Hope all is well
What is up (literally with that AvHeight? in the list). I just resubmitted my gif file -
Mike - RU doing the NAMM report this year again?
Much is going on in Sonar world here in WesternPA -
Possibly a sysop can suggest a solution to my list avatar - I really don't want to post any more until that is figured out

Don, you could scale the avatar yourself if it's showing wrong on the front page.

You'd think a professional webdesign company would know to code in image size restrictions for avatars. Surprised we don't see more of this. In fact it's pretty weird considering my avatar is obviously much larger than displayed as I'm sure many others are.

Hi Don, It has been a long time since we corresponded. I think you have the NAMM reporting misplaced. My guess is that you are thinking of Bitflipper (a.k.a Dave Townsend). It's an honor to be confused for Dave. :-) Re: the avatar thing... put your .gif on a white 150x150 pixele background. The main list display stretches the "width" to 150 pixels... that is why it seems so large. If you frame it with a white background that is 150x it will scale 1:1 on both sections of the forum. All the best! mike

Ahh, I see the problem, the .img placeholder for the main page is scaling the avatar to a fixed width and allowing proportional scaling. So your thin but tall avatar becomes normal width but very very tall...
The answer is to include plenty of white space either side in the .gif to give it reasonable proportions and re-save, re-upload it.

Welcome back btw.
K: I have tried to scale it. I see the issue. The AV is the same as on the left of this post. It is a 2k gif with very small dimensions. The Forum is interpreting it two different ways. I will post one more new post to see if I have corrected the issue - if it doesn't rescale I will create a new one. However I am sure it is not my avatar but rather the way the forum interprets the gif since it is the same file as what you see in this post.

K: Can you estimate in pixels what 'plenty of white space either side' means? Thanks -D

The issue appears to be a missing maximum height entry for the main page avatar.
