GeneralAvatar Madness!
28th Jun 2008 18:05 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder
Hopefully the novelty will wear off soon and people will be reasonably sane with their choices! For now, I've chosen my avatar because I am the dictator of Mindat and I quite like Chicken.

Now, two things.
First of all, what is to stop someone like...me...from just making Avatars to advertise my websites, bypassing the banner system?
Second, I thought you were the prime minister of MinDat Jolyon! That changes the whole geo-political landscape now. What happened to the dreams of freedom? There is no emoticon suitable for my feelings in that array of smileys.
28th Jun 2008 22:27 UTCJesse Fisher Expert
Nice idea. Being your basic over educated misanthrope, cutsie stuff like smiley faces have always invoked a gag reflex when encountered. How do I add a suitably "distinctive" image of my own? But have no fear, I'll leave the crack-smoking pirate monkeys to Justin.
28th Jun 2008 22:49 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder
I am sure it goes without saying that anyone caught trying to upload an advertising image of any kind as their avatar will be sent off to the gulags and stripped of all messageboard priviliges!
I assume that crack-smoking pirate monkeys are not directly related to your website, but I can never be sure.

Well sweet then, if it isn't noted somewhere you should make it available, because I'm thinking of many a person who frequents this board who would think nothing of it. I DON'T want to see someone getting kicked off or having some crazy regular of MinDat jump down someone's throat for a policy that is not stated. Good lord, I don't need to witness that.
Second of all, I think the crack smoking pirate monkey is, in a nutshell, an advertisment for RockhoundingVideos.com

Oh, look, there is my emoticon.

I figure I will change avatars often, I have a huge array of them loaded on my computer!
And, can I ask that we keep naked women avatars off of Mindat, please? Every site forum I belong to has some juvenile posting naked women as though that is cool and all it does is make me think the guy posting is a drag queen.
Thanks!

How about Peter's wonderful avatar of the lady chemist. I dreamed about someone like her for all those years I worked in chemical laboratories and production facilities but never found. You wouldn't take her away from me would you?

Just to be sure. If I upload a 'commercial' avatar would you send my avatar to the GULag or would you send ME to the GULag?
If you would sent me I have some suggestions: Khibiny, Lovozero, Magadan oblast, Norilsk...... all former GULags I'd love to visit some day.
(All jokes aside, I did visit a former GULag on Kamchatka and it is pretty impressive)

Actually you can take most any photo you have on file and use an online program to shrink it to the size for an avatar. For instance the following link will accomplish this: http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar/

Well done with the server, as well. This one is definitely waaaaaaaaaaaaay faster...
To Peter Haas: do your lab assistant need any help with the chemicals? :D

I think she should be called a 'Rogerley Nymph' rather than a 'Fairy' due to the copious amounts of running water involved (but naked's OK!).

Please do not upload avatars larger than 25 KB and 100 x 100 pixels.
Only the following file types are allowed for avatars: gif, png, jpg.
You can store at most 5 avatars.
On the control panel's avatar section, you upload photos to the system for your avatar. It should show the pixel size and file size for your avatar selections.

You need to select the avatar by ticking the radio button (*) next to the image to activate it.
Also, I have deleted your message as I think you are using website URLs in your footer. This is not allowed. Any messages I see with URLs in the footer will be deleted.

I am just trying to head off at the pass, so to speak, anything that might tend to drive women off the site.
No one has crossed the line in what I have seen, so no problem.
And Justin? Well...he is Justin after all.....
30th Jun 2008 13:59 UTCJolyon Ralph Founder
We already have a rule (number 1) in the forum banning any offensive content on the site. This applies equally for choice of avatars. We have very few problems on the message board considering how many people use it, so I don't expect there to be any real problems to worry about.

If you use the "save for web" option in photoshop, it'll give you a gif image that at 72dpi and 100x100 is a mere 8kb.

Most photo editors have a function that lets you set the jpeg compression factor. For my photo I sied it to 100x100 pixels and saved as a jpeg image with 75% compression factor. This gave me a 5.5KB file size.

After you select file to upload with the browse button, you must also click the submit button, just to it's right.
You should then have a section below the upload with the following headings (preview is the photo)
Delete Select Avatar File Name Preview
You then need to click on one of the rows for "select avatar" to pick one to use. Then click the "save changes button"
