Fancy new look with big avatars but now that our images are stretched how do we fix them? Am I missing instructions somewhere?

Why not to upload a new 128x128px image?

Great now I have to learn something. I'll try that tonight but, I'm not good with image sizing.

Thanks!

Leonid,

If I post my photo will you make it into *my* avatar?



PS-One glitch: every time I use a "smiley" it catapults my draft of a posting into outer space.

It doesn't look that great big! Probably because I used 128 pixels to compose it?

I saw another word posted here to day that was doing the same thing. I'll try and find it. I was wondering what that was all about. Who'da thought filtering? I'm soooooo not in the know, right Leonid?

Take off the "su" and "iously" and see what it spells.

I am REALLY not a fan of the filtering of words on forums like this....we don't get alot (if any!) vulgarity here and it ends up chopping up posts and looking ridiculous in the end. Any way to just filter out words that stand on their own...e.g. if someone said pula on their own as opposed to manipulate. Otherwise it just seems foolish to have this mutilating our posts.
 
Also, I ran a dictionary search online for p u l a and it doesn't appear to be a bad word other than some foreign currency so I am at a total loss!

Lawgem,

Oh. You must realize that where I live, that slang/slur is not something commonly used at all. I would have *never* thought of THAT. I mean, I *really* had to give that some thought.

Well, I grew up in the South, so it was obvious to me. But I agree with Mara that filtering words containing "bad" words as part of their spelling is unnecessary. I think it's probably just a bug the programmers overlooked.

Hmm I just noticed that my post didn't have xxx's in it..maybe Leo took off the filter tool or slapped its hand or something.
 
BTW LG...I still don't know what that 'slang' term is in that suxxxxiously word is. Maybe I am *really* naiive!!

Naive or maybe just lucky.  Where I came from, it was the equivalent of the "n" word. If it's since died out, I'm not shedding any tears.
