should we also get offsite sig banners removed as well then? personally I think a post containing 5 words should not have a 400x100 banner at the bottom of it. (I'm guessing at the size, don't bother correcting me)

As the Forum Rules thread says, we deal with sigs on a case-by-case basis.

Damnit, Jonas, I told you about this error ... Hold on, I'll check my logs.

November! November of 2005! And it takes this long before your get the message to the puppeteers to have Trestkon respond to the issue.

You don't remember? I'm sad. Sad and dismayed. And feeling quotey.


Session Start (zjvavrek@hotmail.com:Jonas): Fri Nov 18 01:26:43 2005
[01:27:14] ZJVavrek: Know any good conversation openers?
[01:27:50] Jonas: lol
[01:27:56] Jonas: No, I'm a geek, but that one worked
[01:28:11] ZJVavrek: I have some information for you.
[01:29:22] ZJVavrek: The OTP forum has apparently no restriction on the size of an avatar if it's linked from another website.
[01:29:54] ZJVavrek: I resisted the urge to link the 1600x1200 image I use as a background for my desktop as my avatar.
[01:31:30] ZJVavrek: That, and I should be starting the first of however many stages I'm going to invent of finally recording my lines.
[01:34:29] Jonas: Uh, ok
[01:34:55] Jonas: I'm going to ignore the avatar problem until somebody actually exploits it
[01:34:59] Jonas: Then I'll ban them
[01:35:22] Jonas: And it sounds good about the lines
[01:36:00] ZJVavrek: ah
[01:36:19] ZJVavrek: I did put in a 400x400 pixel image, as a test. removed it and put in a 150x150 image.
[01:36:44] Jonas: ok

Can't you just right-click save it and then upload?

I tried that with my PDX avvy, but for some reason it will only save at a size slightly larger than the period that will go at the end of this sentence. It's something like 15x15 pixels, so I guess that it out for now.

I'll eventually find the original. It just takes time digging through ~1 terabyte of HDD space across 5 different machines. I know it is on one of them somewhere, just not where I thought it should be...

Maybe you could take a screenshot of it and cut the avatar out with an image program (like Paint or something).
