Fire away people!

Avatars are fun =). It's interesting to see how many hits your avatar and profile pic gets on your webserver, if you've got one.

I wish the limits were higher. 64x64 just doesn't do my poor Alita justice... But I'm not complaining =).

I just use a simple script:

[code]
grep "picname.jpg" /var/log/httpd/access_log | wc -l
[/quote]

I also like to filter it through another grep so I can parse where the hits came from.

I've gotten 45 hits on my icon so far, and 2 on my profile pic from here.

A , to be precise =).

My avatar isn't working, it showed up once but now its just an X, trying to fix it...

That's because your host, talk city, doesn't like referrals from TMS =). If you manually type in the URL you will see your image in the browser (because there is no referral), then you'll see it here because it's been cached by your browser. You'll have to find a webhost that lets you do this sort of referral.

Also, your image isn't 64x64, so it looks like a very scrunched dragon =).

1. I'm having trouble finding my own host for images.

2. Scrunched up dragons are still DRAAAGONS! Now aren't they?

I'm currently using this as my avatar. I'm thinking of another, but i don't know if it would work well because of the size.

Other than that, its AWSOME!!!

I can't see your avatar.

I am a member.

I think mine <span style='color:green'><span style='font-family:5'>r0x0rs</span></span> most of all

<span id='ME'><center>SyNo beams broadly as he gives a humble bow</center></span>

oooh, we cant emote too!

Okay, someone is going to have to help me find an avatar that looks nifty... I feel so.. plain...

lol

Meow. Aren't I cute?

But.. um.. where do you guys find these things? I had a picture I liked, but it was the wrong size, and I had the same problem Wenlin did with it not showing up. *pout*

Please help the avatar deprived...

Aren't you supposed to keep quiet about that?

I use full-size pictures that I've got lounging around.  Get a free image editor, such as .  Crop out the area you don't want, then simply resize it to 64x64.  You can see I did this with Mustard Man and Cliche Kitty above, and Alita (the pic in my profile).

As for getting a server, I can't really help there beyond letting people use Cliche Kitty =).  For some reason, nobody likes to use Mustard Man...

Poor, poor Mustard Man... (note: this does not mean I'd ever, ever use that image. *L*)

How do I put the image URL in my signature? I can't find the URL for the image I want.

The secrets of Freemasonry are concerned with its traditional modes of recognition. It is not a secret society, since all members are free to acknowledge their membership and will do so in response to inquiries for respectable reasons.

Its constitutions and rules are available to the public. There is no secret about any of its aims and principles. Like many other societies, it regards some of its internal affairs as private matters for its members.

The icons give a very nice window into the poster as well. Their creativity, interests, even some of their personality quirks get reflected in their avatars.
After all, we choose avatars as carefully as we choose nicks, since we use them as our presence on the net.

Here is and excellent site for avatars, all freeware:

i wish the avatars where a little bit bigger....

Ah, pixel envy...

I love my avatar...took me a million years to find one I liked though *mutter*

Mia: I'd recommend making your own 64x64 Avatar from that image you've got =). Your avatar currently forces everybody to download a ~100k 800x600 file, then resize it to 64x64. For comparison, my avatar is 2k, or 50 times smaller.

Although it's interesting you chose one of the girls from CLAMP's X series.. I've only seen the movie =).

80x80 isnt bad for avatars....
