Avatars

[tippy]

I got two messages when going to fix my avatar. 1. I can’t post my avatar because it’s a cartoon; so I got a new one and then it said 2. I can’t post it because it’s not jpeg even though the file extensions on both were gif to begin with.

Damned internet copyright laws.

Are you trying to post your pic from your gymnast days?

Seriously, I don`t understand why your turtle is unacceptable.

Well, it’s kind of my punishment. I had a harder time reloading it last time too. The laws change or get enforced rather when systems do upgrades I think. If I had left it alone then there wouldn’t be an issue. I found my first one though this time with the graded grey background but if I can’t load it because it’s not allowed, then it doesn’t matter. Is there a way to change a gif to a jpeg or jpg?

yeah, it's quite easy.

right click the file

choose 'edit'

should open up in PAINT

go to File in upper left hand corner

choose 'save as'

change the 'save as type' drop down box from GIF to JPEG

Click save (and don't forget where you saved the file to)

It's bigger and meaner looking.

Hey, I think I even got a little bigger. You rock, me wag. That was so easy too. I owe you big time. Your avatar is tres cool by the way. Very nice.

Thank You!

Now we can play “Who’s got the biggest avatar?”
