Please dear god can we sort out those people whose avatars are rectangles squashed into a square?

How do I go about getting an avatar in the first place?

While I was hoping we'd get posts from people with faulty profile pictures, I'm happy to help. What kind of profile picture would you like? A classy b&w image? A picture of your favourite comedian? Perhaps an epic meme?

I was thinking maybe a black and white picture of Ernest Borgnine, or maybe a  detail from one of Salavador Dali's later works. Failing that , how about a nice picture of Lonesome George (RIP), the world's oldest tortoise?








Oh alright, Jodie Comer.

I don't think those people are aware that their avatars are dead links.  It's likely that their avatar image is stored in their browser's cache, so they can see it but nobody else can.

does mine work. it's supposed to be a picture of a handsome man holding his favourite dvd

Let's have an intervention. So far I've noticed:

Bazooka
idunnosomename
jobotic
Jockice
Gerald Fjord
fatguyranting

None of you have working profile images. Please get in touch.

Can you change username?  Asking for a friend.

Jobotic and jockice are different people. I did wonder why he lived in Sheffield, but had to start a thread on Sheffield because he was spending a day visiting. I thought he might be really parochial about staying in Rotherham or something.

It appears to have been replaced by an unfathomably, indescribably grotesque man. In fact, even though I can only see less than 40% of his face, I can honestly say I've never seen anyone so hideous. I hate to think what the rest of his face or even other parts of his body ...

sorry I just burped up a bit of sick, fuck me that guy's ugly

I actually typed out the same thing, but thought it was a bit too harsh and deleted it.

...that said, I suppose if 2 people think it, then it is probably true. Wisdom of crowds and all that.

kittens

marquis, looks like you are needed here. something very wrong with either my avatar or these posters eyes. please fix immediately.

I had the cover of a Gong album for a while but it inexplicably disappeared at some point. I quite like being a no-avatar cunt, though.

You don't even need a photo of yourself as your avatar, I can fucking smell how ugly you are from your very essence on here

alan nagsworth

Are you saying the photo of me hitting a walkoff homerun for the Blue Jays in the 1993 World Series isn't displaying properly?

Nah, it's the people with avatars that have something to hide. Like beards, or slogan shirts. Classic distraction technique. You have no idea of the wonton atrocities I'm committing when you read my posts because there's a picture of cartoon cats right there.

That is exactly what I'm saying. I wasn't saying it before but I am now. You would be photographed doing that though wouldn't you? You walkoff homerun knob.

I'm not sure why but I haven't been able to get an avatar to work for ages. I used to have them and change them regularly but now I can't get them to display. I don't know whether it's my hosts, format, size. I've tried a couple of hosts and make them 100x100. ~shrugs~

Disaster!

You need to copy and paste the "Direct Link" not the "Image Link" on imgur.
