garthsj Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Try as I might, I cannot seem to get my current avatar to go away. I can get rid of it by using the remove avatar command, but when I try to load a new one, the old one reappears. The new one I am trying to upload is 32K and well within the parameters allowed. I can upload one of the avatars from the bank offered by the list, but not my own. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? .. I know it is me ... Quote
Dan Gould Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 I couldn't guess, but I can tell you that I switched back to the bouncing boobies this morning without a problem. Quote
couw Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 garth, you seem to have set the size of your avatar to 50x100, makes you & elvin look a bit thin. You'll need to set it to 100x100, or set it to default. Quote

You'll need to set it to 100x100, or set it to default. Thanks Couw.. but DUMB QUESTION #547.... How do I reset the size of the avatar ... ? On my scan, or is there some setting on this board? I am at least pleased to see that my new avatar is showing up in some form ... that was not what I originally wanted to use, but I tried various other scans I had on my destop ... However, I do not see the new scan, the original (now narrowed) is still showing up on my screen.... weird! Edited May 14, 2004 by garthsj Quote
couw Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 reload the pic, it should help. All looks okay here now. there is a setting on this board; the default is 100x100 px. everything larger or smaller is forced to 100x100. You can manually set the size if you have a pic that is not a precise square. Quote

Now I see Elvin and Garth(?) Quote

rockefeller center Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 AH! took my own advice and reloaded the pic. It's buddy alright, hope he doesn't fall off that chair! Smells like a gif. Quote
garthsj Posted May 14, 2004 Author Report Posted May 14, 2004 (edited) All is solved .... Well, it is now a gif! Thanks to Couw for a great swinging version of Buddy ... What a list this is ... Now .... I have this strange sound coming out of my refrigerator, and my toaster .... aaaah! forget it .... I am now a happy cat ..... Edited May 14, 2004 by garthsj Quote
Brad Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 Garth, great avatar. Love it. did couw help you with the animation? BTW, I had the same problem. I changed it at home but when I looked at work it was the old avatar. Very strange. Eventually the one at work matched the one at home. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 That's because your work computer wasn't refreshing the avatar. It hard the old one in it's internet cache. Quote

I changed it at home but when I looked at work it was the old avatar. Very strange. Eventually the one at work matched the one at home. Thank you Brad. Yes.. Couw helped me solve my problem by simply suggesting that I clean up my cache, as did b3-er. He was also kind enough to give Buddy the groove he so well deserves ... He also resisted the temptation to have Buddy fall off his precarious position on that chair.. It is interesting that that picture was taken in the early 1950s; except for his hair being grayer, Buddy still looks much the same ... shades of Dorian Gray! Quote
Brad Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 This is probably in the dumb question category but how does one clean up a cache? Quote
couw Posted May 15, 2004 Report Posted May 15, 2004 when using Internet Explorer, click < extras > < internet options > a menu pops up with options to change your homepage setting and two further categories. The temporary internet files have your cookies and your cache, click the < delete files > button (the one in the middle) to clean your cache. The lower category lets you clean your history. (I translated the names of the buttons and the menus from German, hope I'm close) Quote
