right now, until I figure out what is going on, you can only upload an avatar from your own machine, so this means...


#1: create your avatar or find one on the internet, make it or resize it to 80 X 80 pixels or less then save it somewhere on your computer

#2 sign in to your profile

#3 at the bottom in the avatar section, choose "BROWSE", find the path to your avatar then click upload

#4 OR... email it to me at joe@getawebpagename.com and I'll do it for you when i can

I keep getting a message that my pics are over 6kb. What do I have to do to reduce the size on the pic I want to use for an avatar??

CB... I'll see what I can do today.

Also, for anyone interested in using these images... FEEL FREE!
I would ask that you change the colors though... so we can all at least kinda match our Bronco's and not all look the same.

Also, I recommend taking the larger copy (mine or Damagers), coloring it, then resizing it to the 80x80 pixels required here. It's allot easier to color when they are bigger, then shrink 'em.

Thanks!

yup ^^ what he said..work with the larger file and then reduce it's size .. the finished image will be much better quality

I'm working on a original sized (BIG BIG) one that anyone can use as a template.
I'm using MS Paint and going PIXEL by PIXEL so it's going to take most of the day... but it's for anyone that really wants this image, customized for thier ride.

Also... from the original design it says:
FULLSIZE BRONCO
4X4 CLUB
... at the bottom. Coincidence? Hmmm.... :wink:

No kiddin huh? Any chance you'll be making one for a 78-9? particularly, the big size?

Don't think so Dave. As you know there are so many differences in the model years... we'd basically have to redo the entire design.
I'm simply not that talented. :(
Feel free to tweak the template though when it's ready.

Any file type preferancees?
I'll leave the background neon green as it's the easiest to make transparent (for me) and if SuperFord will let me put a .BMP up there... you can slap it into paint and change the colors with just a few clicks.

Canadian Bronco: Almost done man... just tweaking a little more and it's good for you. Where do you want it sent and do you want it already 80x80?

Hey 4xpepe can you send me that BIG size one please??

Thanks!!

BikerPepe`
02-27-2003, 06:29 PM
Just sent it in .ZIP format as it's a .BMP file.
I have to PASSWORD Protect it to get it through work... password is:
BRONCO

Anyone else?

The file is 3.19MB original .BMP and it's ready for MS Paint so you can recolor it to your liking.
I use MS Photo Editor to resize it, convert it to .GIF and get the Transparent backgrounds, if that helps anyone.

It's poormans software, but it does the job! :wink:

02-27-2003, 06:45 PM
Your right... that does look like crap.
Downsizing .GIF's ain't pretty... hmmm.
What did you use to size yours Dustin?
It looks nice and clean and it's .GIF... share the tips dude!

if you don't like downloading from kazaa, try those crack sites. Usually they'll have links to ftp sites or other's pages that download alot faster. just make sure you get the crack for it too.

Kinda sucks to be making all these great images, but have them screwed when there shrunk enough to use. :roll:

OK guys... these ones went up to the max (80 pixels) and seem to still be pretty smooth. :cool:
Last update: 74 x 55 pixels
Current Update: 80 x 59 pixels
Hard to tell the diff really, but that's the biggest they can go... for now.
If Joe ever makes it so we can get bigger AV's... I still have all the HUGE originals in .BMP for each one of these I have made, so I can resize later from the originals if it's an option. :cool:
