Cool How to make Custom Avatars and be a Unique Playa ;)

Man, you can’t be super cool and unique unless you have your own custom avatar, as in not “off the rack”.

Each site will have a different limit as to how big an avatar you can have.
This site happens to have a max size of 100 by 100 pixels or 29.3 KB (whichever is smaller).

You don’t need to be savvy with fancy image altering software like Adobe Photoshop or PaintShop Pro.
All you need is just MS Paint.

Download a picture you like from the net (but not someone else’s avatar) or make it from a picture you have taken.

I will explain it for the program of MS Paint since everyone has that because it comes with Windows (which most of you are running).

Click [CTRL] & the [E] key. Find your current size in pixels. Remember that your size has to be 100X100. Let’s say that your current picture is 600X400 pixels. Simply divide 100 by the larger number (600 would be more than 400 in the 600x400 dimensions) which will give you .166666666
Now just hit [CTRL] & the [W] key to shrink it using the stretch upper boxes.
Enter 16 for both percent boxes (since that corresponds to the .166666 figure we got).
Click [OK] and it has shrunk to just below 100x100 which is acceptable for avatars.

Now to enter it as your avatar in the forum.
Hit “UserCP” in the upper left corner of your screen.
Click “Edit Avatar” in the user control panel on the left of the screen.
Make sure you have “Use Custom Avatar” selected.
Click where it says “Browse…”
Select your picture from the directory in your computer’s harddrive or where you have it stored.
Click [Open]
Click [Save Changes]


And now you are a custom playa!



Actually, some have told me that they don’t know how to make them, so I thought I would help out those that may be in the same situation.
