Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit about having to resize a bloody picture? It takes all of 1 minute to open GIMP or Photoshop (including the loading of the damn program), hit image > resize image > set 128, link dimensions > Okay >export and done.Oh, 1 minute is too long for you? Well here you whining, sniveling cupcakes: There, now you can use those 30 seconds I just saved you to go cry to your mom about how some asshole in the internet is lording over you the fact that he can operate a goddamn computer with some efficiency.I should stop here.

Oh gear grinding.

Let's fuck shit up and give avatars an extra 22 pixels to the height only. Force portraits. Love portraits.

Why not just say that in the Help forum rather than screeching inarticulate demands in the Spam forum?

I posted this at like 11 pm I was tired and not thinking. I saw the description of the spam forums and my midnight mind thought "perfect. Now write the title in a way that can be read two different ways and probably will be read the worse of the two."

Horra. That doesn't work so well with large files that then lose quality or with non square photos. Basically I'm just asking for the avatar system to be like it was before the shutdown.

Wait...
What?

Are you...REALLY?

Seriously, you're trying to tell me that purpose built programs like GIMP and Photoshop, or single-use utilities are going to provide WORSE scaling than anything Mahz could implement with a forum?

Secondly is, the link function I mentioned? Is to keep the same damn aspect ratio as the original image. You take the largest side, put "128" into the box. Hit okay, and holy shit! It keeps the image in the same proportions!
Fast Image resizer is a tiny bit more complicated, using math skills you have to have learned by now: Take image you want to resize. Get pixel dimensions, then find aspect ratio (largest size divded by smallest size). Then take 128, and multiply it by the previous answer: Bam, there's your new width or height. Call me what you will, but I think it is mighty assholish to beg someone to implement something so goddamn easy to do yourself.

Thirdly, the hell are you trying to use massive bloody images that lose that much quality when shrunk to 128x128, as an avatar for anyways?

Cuz how does one even computer.

Phones make things difficult. :c

I just googled "resize picture" picked a site that ha custom resizing (like the first one) uploaded my pic and put in the coordinates. Boom. Looks good enough for me xD then again, my avatars are not usually fancy.

Hey guys, stop being stupid assholes about a simple misplaced request. It's a major overreaction and it's giving validity to his statement about shit around here being like Tumblr with the mindless antagonism.

Yeah, avatar resizing would be nice.

For now, I've offloaded the resizing labor onto users while I work on other things.

It shouldn't take you more than 20 seconds to resize an image.

1. Upload it to http://imgur.com
2.

Click: Edit Image

3.

Change the larger dimension to 128

4. Click "Save"
5. Right click the new image, save it to your computer, upload to the guild
6. Avoid this cesspit of a subforum, listen to Jorick, be sure to drink your Ovaltine

128 is not weirdly specific. It's a multiple of 2! It's 2^6! That's used in a whole bunch of computerized things.

( I chose 128x128 because it's the max unicorn size available from http://unicornify.appspot.com/use-it )
