Ok - I'm kinda sensitive about distorted pictuers of my mother. Can anyone tell me how to fix my Avatar image? It looks all bent out of shape. I have noticed that others here were able to make theirs fit properly.
Muchos gracias,
El' Gordo

Gordo,
There is nothing that can be done at the moment.If you check John's notice in the software update thread, you will find out why and the the anticipated time to correct it. This especially applies to avatars imported from outside of our regular gallery.

I see Gordo's avatar squished.
A solid thin line for Fr. Anthony. _____________
A spaced thin line for AnimeFreak. _________ _ __
A solid thin line for Our Lady's Slave. _____________
The last three are colored across like I am seeing a slice of a picture.
We'll see if the tweaking fixes it all.

Dear Wondering,
In your case it might not be the forum's new software, but two other possibilities. One you are using an older PC and that does not have the graphic capability that the new program is sending out with the graphics. That we can do nothing about. The other possibility is to to reset your display setting in your PC's control panel, to highest 32bit and the slider (resolution) should be all the way over to 1024x768 pixels or better. You are the second one tonight that has brought this subject to light. I hope this helps you.

Fr. Anthony,
None of those are the case with me. New computer, good graphics capability, 32 bit enabled, resolution set even higher than that. Any other suggestions?

Not really. You and one other poster are the only ones so far that mentioned that problem. I might suggest you PM the admin. We were just discussing this issue regarding the other poster this evening. He may have another solution for you.

Fr. Anthony,
Thanks. I wrote him. I am wondering if the problematic images are from the ByzCath library. The only one I see on this thread is Gordo's. Does anyone else have a non-stock image? Animefreak's wasn't stock last time I saw it, but I don't know if it has changed since then. I don't see mine (which is imported), but sometimes weird things happen with your own so I won't take that as an indication.

Wondering I'm on my old iMac at present [ long story  ] and it is certainly pretty poor in terms of modern Computers [ a 10GB hard drive !! and not much memory a mere 256 RAM ] BUT I can see everything OK - whether Avatars were from Byzcath or not. The other thing that might be worth checking yourself, is switching to a different Browser . I have heard of quite a few folk in the UK who are experiencing problems with IE7 - I'm using Safari , Firefox , and Camino at present . Camino went on yesterday and I find it's actually making quite a difference with this elderly machine - everything is much crisper. Anhelyna

Anhelyna, Good suggestion! I switched to Firefox and can see them all now. Yours is highly pixelated, but it is there. Mine's not too bad. Fr. Anthony's is great. Anime's is tiny but proportionate. Gordo's is still squished.  Must be something wrong with IE7 and the new upgrade.

Anhelyna,
Must be something wrong with IE7 and the new upgrade. Yes, there is, they are trying to take someone else's program, and in this FireFox and make their program run just like it. Unfortunately they seem to miss the formula again. I forgot that I have been using FireFox only all my computers, PC and Mac for a while now. Thanks for helping us solve this mystery. In IC XC, Father Anthony+

Just to show that some of us Macheads occasionally read about PCs [ well my husband uses one ] I understand that if you remove IE7 it reverts to IE6 - and this should solve your problems. I always say " If a thing ain't broke why fix it ? "  I want that as a sig - think I'm going to have to type it in on every post:)

Well, one mystery solved and another arises. I've not upgraded my browser apparently, so the issue is with IE6 and the software. I'll keep using FireFox instead.
