Question About Avs - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 10-24-2006, 05:23 PM

Is it all in my head, or do the quality of the pictures always turn to crap whenever you upload them onto SO? But then again I see people with perfect avs and I'm like...well how come theirs don't screw up when they upload them? I don't know if it's my computer, my lack of PSP skills or SO doing it but it's annoying me. The quality of the picture seems fine before I upload it so I don't know...

Well, I don't know. It looks a lot less clear once I upload it. Thanks though, lol

The pic you used, is it pretty big or is it a small pic BEFORE you uploaded it?

I resize the pic to 150X150 before I upload it

Ireneparalegal · 10-24-2006, 05:52 PM

You know, I never resize my pics.

I leave them as is and let it get "resized" when I choose it as my avatar. Usually the pics I use are not much bigger than what is allowed. If I use one that is small, it will look funny when it gets enlarged.

I checked the sizes of some of the avs that I have used and they are 300x200 or 180x180, some of them anyways, others are larger.

ha all of the pics I use were originally large pictures. I never bother to let it get resized itself because I think that's a recent thing for SO, isn't it?

I am not sure. Since I have been here as a member, I never resized my pics beforehand. I just choose my pic and let it upload. I don't have much luck with resizing and so forth, it's not my thing.

lol I can do it, but I'm not good with keeping the picture clear and everything.

I didn't even know SO could resize your picture. It never used to be able to but I just tried it out on my profile pictures and it works.

Polniaczek033 · 10-24-2006, 08:15 PM

it just be how many bytes or whatever it is. maybe change the file size.

lol what does that mean and how? Sorry I'm computer ******** -_-

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 10-24-2006, 08:43 PM

It depends on the filetype. .gif tends to look a little speckly and .jpgs look smudged sometimes. .png is my favorite filetype but the size is too big to be used as an avatar here.

Courtnee · 10-24-2006, 09:06 PM

it works. I just uploaded a blend I made and it resized it for me. Nifty...

What's the filetype for your current av? It doesn't look blurry at all.
