how lucky our moderators were. Nothing to do all day but sit about and try to control some of our more unruly contributors

I'm sure that Grendel will be along soon to comment, but given that he does actually have a job...

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 ...

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.

What Bikertov and Grendel said.

My solution,

Buy a large magnify glass.

Looks like an avatar is like a diamond ring only a professional can see the quality. .

I do hope for your sake Mrs Biker doesn't happen upon this forum. What are the visiting hours at your local hospital? I'll bring you a bunch of grapes  x

Nah, should be OK ... but maybe I will bring the Girlfriend to the Spring meet up instead, just in case anyone blabs on me

And mine.

[kpnut]

Think I might have to change mine to a photo of Finlay springer. It’ll then match the boat name. 

 

[Lulu]

I’ll carry on the theme of dog avatars but with a bit of boat

Hey! that's actually mine  Yours is a White F in a Pink circle  or maybe its Purple. 

[Meantime]

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
