Hi all,
I'd like to use this as my avatar: http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/75055.htm but it's somehow impossible, when i click on "use as avatar" it simply does nothing. Any idea? Thanks & greetings! |

I think it's because the site only allows avatars up to 50x50. You may want to re-submit a version that's not scaled up : There is an "update" button which allows you to change title/description/images. Note that your upscaling to 100x100 was not very pretty, some pixels where bigger than others. It's uglier than if you upscaled by an integer factor: x2.00, x3.00 etc. |

Hmmm, I'm confused.
It seems that the avatars on pixeljoint are shown generally as 70x70 - is this maybe the upper limit? Also - my current (working) "test" avatar is 70 pixels in height. I autoscaled the other one to 100x100 before because some other site used this size to show the avatars - I'll go for a manual scaling to 70 now :) Thanks guys

Your current avatar is 64 pixels vertically. Pixeljoint also doesn't allow resized previews, except when you're making it 2x/3x/4x etc. |

Gosh, now I understand what's the matter.
Had Chrome one level scaled up so everything appeared bigger... I was wondering already why the images look so distorted :P Sorry guys for the confusion :) |
