Bikertov Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 2 hours ago, MauriceMynah said: Next to each post there is a small picture, an avitar I believe it's called. Sometimes I'd like a closer look at it. Is there a way of doing this? .... So, I thought, could it be possible for one of them ( I don't mind which one ) to enable readers to have a closer looksee at the avitars? If you hover over and click on someone's profile, then again on their avatar picture in their profile, the image will be displayed as large as it can be. However, normally the avatars are quite small images to start with, from a resolution point of view (ie how many pixels up and across). Else, as it common with Forum software, they may well get "compressed" if they were bigger to start with. So even if you could enlarge the picture, it would be very 'grainy'. The upside of this is that you can't see the dirt on the boats so well ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 what Bikertov said really, the forum software preshrinks the avatar pictures (puts them through a boil wash cycle) to make them a small size, so no amount of stretching will get them back to a bigger size for viewing. and yes some of us have to fit moderating in around boring stuff like work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meantime Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 And to prove it here's a copy of the original artwork I uploaded for my Avatar! I consider it to be rather Zen like. I was thinking of copyrighting it before you go downloading it. I got the inspiration for it from some of Ian's posts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
