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.

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 am so glad to see you Don. Welcome back. You need anything let me know.

Good to see you Don!

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
 
;-p

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.
 
Welcome back btw.

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!
