The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I noticed that my default pic doesn't show up when I post like everyone else's does. Is there a reason for that? It's most likely something obvious that I overlooked because sometimes my brain just glitches like that :p

The user avatars are automatically generated by the system. They are taken from the main picture in a user's profile. However, this only works if your main picture is a jpg. Gif's don't resize right.

So, you'll need to convert your main picture file into a jpg in order to have an avatar.

I fixed it! Thanks for helping me out Cancer :)

is there not a way for the gif's to work also Cancer ?

Technically gif's will work, but they look *real* crappy which is why I disabled them. This all has to do with PHP's resizing function and it's quite boring. But if you're really interested...

Gif's are only 256 colors. A resize is a mathematical function of reduction based on surrounding pixels. Having only 256 colors, gifs turn out badly and look "jagged". Jpg's use 16.9 million colors and resize much more nicely.

ok gotcha Cancer... i figured as much... was just curious as to why they were disabled but it makes sense :P
