Hi Cozen,
I'm not sure if my message to you way back when got eaten or not, but I wanted to apologize again for jumping on you about the grammar thing. I was having a bad day and language is very important to me. Please don't think you should stay completely away from me because of it, okay?

Peace.
I'm okay by now, too.
Avatars, peeps: bring 'em on!

Hi folks,
Just a quick clarification; credit where credit is due:
I credit Roxyfreefall with figuring this all out. I saw how she had done it and using the avatar PR customed for me a few months ago, was able to figure out how to clear your old avatar to post the new one.
PR quickly used her skills to create some extremely nifty avatars she was kind enough to post for all.

If that's the case, you really need to turn up the res on your monitor. Even my crappy work monitors don't quite break at 550 pixels, and I thought they were turned down as low as you could go at 800x600
Not changing it. Sorry.

Hmm. That's odd, my resolution is set at 1024*768 which is the most common resolution for browsing the internet:

The next most common is even lower than that.
Your avatar is 550 long, plus it displays the date on the same line, plus there's the scroll bar, plus the thread details and the other threads in the same forum on the left.

Yes, Roxy did it first, though for awhile it didn't register with me that it was in a different position, then I saw that Mavs had done it. It took me a few tries to figure out how to do it myself
And sorry, I'm not trying to be snarky, but that one site is the only one that says low res is common in my search so far. http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/stat_trends.htm says "Most users have 1024x768 and higher, but a large minority have 800x600. A very small and shrinking number, <1%, have 640x480" I have it turned all the way up on my home computer for photoshop and such, and I've found MOST posts here display best at that res, as though the poster also has it set that high. Might be interesting to poll the users, yes?

Well, I was trying to be all respectfully subtle-like by crediting you via my profile. So, yet again it is reaffirmed that subtlety ain't my strong suit, yeah. But, you already knew that.
Also, thanks for blowin' my cover, eh?

The site I linked states that 1024*768 is the most common resolution which is pretty high res, and that is still being broken by your banner. It's nothing major but it does turn every page into one you have to scroll left and right on.
