A thread for general questions about avatars, if you're so inclined to use it ...

~ How do we submit an avatar image to be included among the possible selections, and to whom?

~ How are you limiting the file size or the dimensions? (I hope the file size won't be as small as Rob's board insists upon.)

~ Will you be picking up any of Freekinos/Loser's colored LMBP avatars from the Jolly Roger board? For example, I know that I'd like to be able to switch occasionally between "me" and "my sister."

More generally, I appreciate the founders' responsiveness on all such matters. It's pleasantly surprising to see how much you did manage to work out in advance.

Past message-board blowups and shortcomings certainly helped, especially in knowing what not to do. As I keep reminding myself, nothing is ever a total failure ... it can always serve as a bad example {rueful smile}

~ How do we submit an avatar image to be included among the possible selections, and to whom?

For now submitting them via e-mail to either Gary or myself is great. Once we get it worked out we'll have a general e-mail for the boards to submit inquiries to.

~ How are you limiting the file size or the dimensions? (I hope the file size won't be as small as Rob's board insists upon.)

We have not yet discussed the size of Avatars but the dimensions will be set to 60 x 60 pixels. This seems to allow for cleanest picture at a relatively small size. For now, as long as the images are under 2KB I'm not going to mind as long as Gary doesn't.

~ Will you be picking up any of Freekinos/Loser's colored LMBP avatars from the Jolly Roger board? For example, I know that I'd like to be able to switch occasionally between "me" and "my sister."

Please feel free to submit any of the Avatars you are using on other boards for submission here. Again, right now storage space isn't much of a problem and our bandwidth is unlimited but we will set up standards at a later date.

More generally, I appreciate the founders' responsiveness on all such matters. It's pleasantly surprising to see how much you did manage to work out in advance.

Past message-board blowups and shortcomings certainly helped, especially in knowing what not to do. As I keep reminding myself, nothing is ever a total failure ... it can always serve as a bad example {rueful smile}


I think we all learned quite a bit from the past few weeks and hopefully we've been able to use the experience to make this the place to be. smile

Founders, Sirs,

After hero avatars, will you ever add villain avatars? Like three-eyed crimson commadantes with nuclear blood? Like said villain's very first image in Adventure 344, Page 4, panel 1?

Not being a techie, I know nothing of it's tech feasibility. I was out of the room.

Now the only remaining question is whether I am a complete nasshole or total nasshole for suggesting this. I like to think the former, but you may prefer the latter.

BTW, should you not know, and if you haven't caught my mention of this elsewhere, the cover of Who's Who In Legion #7 has 270 thumbnail portraits of major Legion characters that to my untrained yet triple eyes seem perfect for Avatars.

However, inconceivably and mortifingly so, a picture of myself, the Great Neato Nardo, (aka Neenee Nahnah) isn't included in the 270!!! W'ass'up with dat?!?! Wonder what other great characters were left out...

Anyway, my request: insane or just plain rude?

Thanks, Nightcrawler!

Damn. I said this was a full-service MB.

You are not longer a puny human in two of Nardo's three eyes. You may consider yourself 2/3rds a non-puny human.

Obviously, you'll want to update your resume, maybe give your broker a call.

I wish I had time to be appropriately effusive, but people are screaming at Nardo to get off the net.

Commandant, my ass.

Thanks again, Nightcrawler!

Gary I already have the Who's Who pics scanned so don't take the time. I'll load them up when I can.

I missed, until now, the multiple pages of avatars that were already loaded ... brain fart! ... because I didn't re-size the selection window in Edit Profile to show the "Next" (page) link.

Thanks to the LW founders for setting up so many avatars in the first place, and thanks to Lightning Lad for installing an upgraded version of my own.

Guys, I love my avatar, the symbolic Durlan antennae head.

I really do! But I recalled a head shot of Reep that is just too perfect for me to pass up. I'm only at 60-40 that it's a great idea to "abandon" my super-cool current avatar and switch to it, but really, the new one is even cooler!

It's from Adventure 350, page 20, panel 4. The famous breaking-the-fourth-wall panel of Reep telling the reader that he was around a long time before a certain wall-crawling hero. The image is the perfect expression and proportions, and there's no interfering balloons. And it's Reep in the blue suit drawn by Curt Swan!

If you can add it to the avatar list, could you also lighten the background? (In the original # 350 copies, it's a rather dark solid red. I don't know if it was lightened in the Archive edition.)

Thanks guys! You two get my votes for the first statues to go up on the Avenue of Super-Heroes!

ChameleonBoy

P.S. BTW, LL, just so you know, I was strongly championing the Garth-was-never-Proty position way back at the old DCMB. It got heated a few times, until someone reminded us all that the Proty-Garth was a part of the "Glorith-reality" and never occurred prior to Volume 4. That ended the debate. And it's something I always try to remember when the issue pops up again.

The Silver Age Lightning Lad is my favorite Legionnaire of all time. Always has been. That said, it doesn't mean I won't exploit Proty-Garth a the drop of a space-helmet for some quick laughs!

Q: How many Proty-Garths does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Depends. Are we talking Proty 1 or Proty 2?

Any chance you can scan that pic? All of my issues are still in storage. If you can't I may be able to grab it out of the Archive if I can figure out which one its in. If its in #6 then I'm out of luck. That's the one I'm missing.

And I hope you realize I'm just joking around with you on those Proty comments. I always gotta do that. I seem to remember you (as bbz) going to bat for Garth back then.

Looks like Nightcrawler did his usual bang-up job on your Avatar. Looks good.

And I should have guessed you to be a FT fan. But wasn't the album called 'I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus'? I can't remember for sure. I'd have to dig out my old cassette tapes.

I haven't had their albums for 15-20 years. I first recalled it as "bozos" but that seemed iffy. Shoulda known they wouldn't pass up the nice alliteration.

Never let it be said that I didn't at least try to appease even the smallest minority. Plus, I don't want anyone crushed. Pick your woman, they're all in the Avatar list:

"Lesbian"? Two of them later claimed they were only "experimenting" because they were sophomores in college. And the rest... Well, let's just say that they were only "lesbian" until the right Tranzor-Z or Voltron came along.

BAH!
