Avatar maintenance - Please Update Your Avatars
Hi Folks,
One problem that Ron and I have discovered during the migration to VBulletin is getting the user avatars for existing users to scale appropriately. Last night I ran a photoshop script to create 100 x 100 and 80 x 80 versions for all existing custom avatars, but I could not make them active, as simply replacing the images does not cause them to be resized, and as a result creates a new problem - big *and* ugly scaled up avatars.
As such, the only practical solution is to ask everyone to re-enter their custom avatars after we remove the existing ones. Before this happens however, we will publish a link to a page that contains all of the appropriately scaled avatars. This way if you don't have your original (or don't want to use photoshop to get a nice scaled down image) you can grab it directly off this page whenever you have time to re-add your avatar.
I'll post an update once I get the new page(s) added.
Best Regards,
Al H
