Johnathan,

You are using someone else's avatar, if you have not noticed (hoplite14). You also seem to lift up significant parts from the secondary sources in your posts on this forum without any reference. :?

Question for everyone ... ok, more like three ... :wink:

I've been here for several weeks, but I *still* haven't figured out how to upload an avatar. Everytime I try, it doesn't work, even though the image I tried to use was within the size limit.

Also, how does one get a laud or those nice, shiny medals? Smile

what is the error message that you get?

you get laudes from other members (the + at the left)

medals are a reward which you get from the staff. See the medal page for more info: www.romanarmy.com/rat/medals.php

It just said that the size must not exceed 6k. Well, the main problem is when it *is* resized to 6k, the resolution gets very bad, no matter how much I try to fix it! Any tips how to fix this? ... I'm so technically-challenged it's not even funny. :oops: Cry

Hello Sharon
The best way to do a decent lookink avatar (within the size constrains) is the following:
use an image editing program (like photoshop or other)
- in the image menu: image size: reduce the image to a maximum of 115 pixels ( height and lenght neither height or lenght can be bigger that 115 pixels)
- in the file menu: save it for web as jpeg.
Best regards

Herzlichen Wilkommen Willi.
Cologne is a very nice city, I've been there 3 times. I love the Dome and rhe Germaniches-Romaniches Museum, the shnitzel and Kolsch at the Fruh are very good also.
I hope you enjoy your time on RAT.
