Some of you are still having the "No Photo" avatar. Very clean and minimalistic but I guess Ophecks would like to see some action on that point, right? |
||||||||
|

|
Absolutely... Especially the girls! |

Changing the default photo to something mildy derogatory might help that. :) |

Do drag up a very old issue - can someone help me upload an 'avatar'? I am not so clever with PC stuff. What is the easiest way to change a picture's size to make it fit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Give me a picture or something that I'll resize it. |
||||||||
|

|
|
open up ms paint and guess |

That depends on the following 3 factors: the dots per inch (dpi) of the picture, the file type and the resolution. First download "dpi checker" from sourceforge.net. If you have windows you're going to want to get version 4.2; if you have linux, get version 3. Just make sure you have enough ram to install this and the drivers. You'll have to restart your computer when it is installed, then change "dpi = 3" in your config.sys file to "dpi = 4". Finally restart your computer again, only enter bios mode. If your computer is dell just press F3 to enter bios, unless your monitor's screen is greater than 20 inches, in which case press F4. On any other computer hold down shift and press backspace. Then change every capital letter there to a lower case one because dpi checker was made before the international organization for standardization standardized how capital letters are interpreted. Restart your computer again. When you get this far let me know and I'll walk you through the next step. There's still a lot to do but this will all become second nature eventually. |

open paint, select a part of the picture that's 60x80, cut, open new file (don't save previous) make the pallette (the white stuff) less then 60x80, paste and save, done additional: cut something relative to 60x80 (for instance 120x160), paste in the new file and go to menu image, select sketch/skew and sketch x% horizontal and x% vertical (for instance 50% horizontal and 50% vertical) |

Even with gargantuan compliments like that you'll never be promoted back to moderator. Sheesh. |

Open the Dos prompt. Type "c:/ format" Say "Yes, whatever" to any prompt. Walk away from computer. Begin your life, anew. |

I'm beginning to wonder if this is worth the effort. wmw's instructions could have come straight from an IKEA instruction manual! I wish I was clued-up enough to understand them! |
