when I resize my photo to make into an avatar it goes abit blurry!

 

when doing exactly the same on the other site the quality remains perfect!

 

anythoughts pete?

Hi Sexy,

 

Depending on the software you're using, it could be the quality setting. Then again, this forum could 'resize' the image when you upload it.

 

Try saving the image on your pc at 100% quality, then uploading on here.

 

You've done some great work on this forum mate, an inspiration to us all

Ah, just checked and looks like your image is 99% which should be close enough to 'spot on'.

 

If you really want to get technical ....... you could check the quality setting of your camera, 72 dpi (dots per inch) is pretty much standard for online use. But if your camera can go higher, this will produce a better quality image to work with (er ... obviously).

 

Have you met my Granny, I taught her to suck eggs ........ i'll get my coat

 

*added2*

Ok, i'm so sad I had to look into this!

 

You made the same mistake as me (but I wasn't bothered), that is, the displayed 'avatar' is 150 pixels wide by 100 pixels high. But the image you uploaded is 130 pixels by 98 pixels ....... this results in a stretching (and blurring) of the image.

 

Thank f**k I can sleep tonight!

cheers for the help! how is granny by the way

 

the thing is I'm doing exactly the same on the other site & it comes out perfect!

 

so I thought it must be the something on here?

[casper_uk 12]

Yes, could be something to do with the recent update in forum software.

 

I've just re-uploaded my avatar and remembered to enter the width and height settings and it seems ok, considering it was a crap image to start with!

 

Granny's fine, she's stopped working the bars now and taking a well earned rest

I played around with different sizes each one seems to be distorted once uploaded

 

say hi to granny

[casper_uk 12]

Are you saying that you have just uploaded a new image with the size of 150 x 100?

 

If that's the case, when you save the image from your software you'll have to call it another filename, it looks like the image isn't being overwritten when you upload it.

 

Here's one I prepared earlier ........

 

 

Granny's upset that you never got around to bfing her during your trip ........ I told her you'd been busy!

just tried what you said & it came out better not sure paul will like it

 

cheers

[casper_uk 12]

Sorry mate, but i'm a really, really 'anal' kind a guy (in the accountancy sense!) and one for the 'details'.

 

the image you uploaded is coming up as 150 wide by 113 high ..... hence the 'widefaces'

 

Judging by all the action you two got, I KNOW you're both better looking than that!

[sexy beast 12]

I keep trying but fucking up

[casper_uk 12]

no problem Sexy,

 

You're a 'sex machine', loved by the girls, who just so happens to have brought happiness (if not plain old jealousy!) to hundreds of boardies.

 

I'm a computer geek who knows how to get a 150 pixel image right.

 

Which one would you rather be? .......... go back to bed mate, you've probably got a long day ahead

 

I'm closing off now so I can watch 'Friends'.

 

I wouldn't swap places with you

[sexy beast 12]

lol funny stuff, friends shit I've got a better thing in bed

 

every time I resize 150 it automatically goes 150-113?

 

I think I've done it

Save your picture as a GIF file rather than as a jpeg.

It's hard to say where it.s going wrong from your post. If you email me the full size pic, I'll have a go and see what happens.
