Title: *** CUSTOM AVATARS - and how to resize your own ***
Post by: Rob DiStefano on August 02, 2009, 07:59:00 AM

If you wish to have a custom avatar added to your profile so that it will show on all of your posts, please submit A PROPERLY SIZED IMAGE along with YOUR TRAD GANG MEMBER NUMBER to [email protected]

PLEASE NOTE: you must have already sized your custom avatar to no larger than 100x100 - WE SIMPLY CAN NO LONGER PERFORM ANY CUSTOM AVATAR IMAGE EDITING.

If you submit an image larger than 100x100 it will NOT be added to your profile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RESIZING IMAGES FOR AVATARS

First, choose an image that will look good when resized small - this is important!  Use any image editor you like - Windows has one already built it, find it in your Accessories folder.

Here's a good image we'll use to create an avatar ...
    (http://www.tradgang.com/data/130x.jpg)

Now use your image editor to crop it out so that it's relatively square in size, and the main subject is as large as possible ...
    (http://www.tradgang.com/data/130a.jpg)


Resize the image no larger than 100x100, in this case it's 100 wide x 88 high ...
    (http://www.tradgang.com/data/130b.jpg)

Sharpen the focus ...

We're good to go!

Now email the image along with yer Trad Gang member number to [email protected] - that's all she wrote!

Rob,
I sent custom avatar on Monday.  Followed up with a "where is it" on Wednesday and still have heard nothing back.
What am I doing wrong? Attached everything on "Contact Us" message.
Thanks,

if you must contact us, please pm or email only.

if your custom avatar meets the requirements, it will be added asap - this may take a few hours or a few weeks.  please be patient.

if your avatar does not meet the trad gang requirements, you will be notified directly.
