OT-Avatar Frustration

You can't. As that person to send you the picture.

I thought this was going to be a rant about how everything is in 3d now that Avatar blew up, INCLUDING the Michael Jackson tribute at the Grammy's. Oh well. I enjoy a good rant. Maybe next time.

And I thought it was going to be about how he was one of the people that was depressed because the world from Avatar was so much more beautiful than earth.

how horny he is for 9 feet tall, extremely slender feline women.

and was going to complain about the choice of "unobtainium"... I mean seriously!
BTW-- what's the chemical symbol for unobtainium? Ub? Unb? Jc?

I'm fairly certain the pictures that people select as their avatar get converted to a much smaller size (100x100ish) before they are saved on the server or whatever that thing is called.

85x85

My picture of Morgan Freeman eating cotton candy was much cooler before it was shrunk to 85X85.

I dunno, 60% of the time, it works everytime.
February 1st, 2010 at 2:45 PM ^
Unless it doesn't, 50/50.

I was all excited that someone else wouldn't like the movie "Avatar" either...I'd like to get a couple of the pics too--especially Homer with the sniper rifle.

I liked Avatar better before he colored all the Native Americans blue. Real original...copy Dances with Wolves, make the people blue and bore me to death for 3 hours. Color me a hater.. I thought the movie sucked.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
mchottie photos were you referring to? I get out the old fashioned 10x specs for those.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
Magnus for the picture.
January 31st, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
I'm sure we'd all like to see the avatars of Bosch, Magnus or chick in the "Ohio sucks" shirt full size.
But at least Big Boutros remains a postage stamp.

Ask and you shall receive, my friend.

I don't know if this will work, but it helped me find a picture for my wife a while back. It has to be on posted somewhere on the web though. You probably have to download the pic of the avatar first. Good luck.
I tried it for Nantucket Blue's avatar below and got some larger versions (but only marginally bigger).

Men often have trouble enlarging their avatars because they can only get it up for smurfy-cats, ostensibly with highly enzymatic genital secretions that stimulate the epidermis, but lead to long-term desensitization. Must be the diet.

I Just took a pic of myself..
February 1st, 2010 at 9:25 AM ^
I cant even change my avatar picture which is really frustrating
February 1st, 2010 at 1:07 PM ^
I once tried to change mine and it didn't change right away, so I gave up. Several days later, the new pic was there.
I'm gonna guess this is because the mods review avatar pics before allowing them to go live... just a guess.
February 1st, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
the mods review avatar pics
no they don't.
My guess is that your browser had your old avatar cached, and the cache was not updated immediately.
February 1st, 2010 at 2:49 PM ^
You have to clear your history, cache, cookies etc...
February 1st, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
Thats weird, I tried that too and I still cant get rid of my old picture
February 1st, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
I hear they are all the rage in Avatar circles.
