The Great Twist
The crab looks fuzzy or out of focus in the tag. Anything that can be done about that?

Yeah, unfortunately the source art isn't super high res, so shrinking down the crabby to fit in the gang tag size limits results in some blur. :( I've tried cleaning it up a little but it still doesn't come out all that great.

ANYWAY here's the final/best as selected by you fine folks:

So...how do we actually acquire gang tags? Is this like a mod request thing?

You can make a mod request, or you can do it the cheater way and have someone purchase it as an avatar so that the image gets hosted by SA, like we did with the CIDERBOYS tags. You would take the URL for the SA-hosted image and make it part of your next avatar purchase.

The forums avatar code is set up to only display images hosted by the SA website; that's why you can't post random imgur links into your title text and get more images in your avatar. To include additional images in your avatar, you need to link to images that are hosted by the SA website.

All avatars are hosted by the SA website once purchased. For example, the source URL for your avatar is:

code:
https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/0d/c4/00215545.0001.gif
Because someone once purchased CIDERBOYS as an avatar, anyone who wants to include that gang tag as part of their avatar can include the source URL of the image as part of their custom title text:



Does that make sense?

It's not super complicated but it is a little weird the first time you do it. Really, it's way easier just to have some friendly mod cooperation. :shobon:

Yes, but only super-nerds are going to be doing a zoom in to check the aliasing and who gives a poo poo about them?

My grandfather was a body recovery diver for the Navy in WW2.

He said when they pulled the bodies up they'd be absolutely swarming with crabs, so he refused to eat crabs for the rest of his life after that job.

He still ate lots of lobster though.

I was immensely proud of my cat when she caught a crow some years ago, and that's how proud I am of that crab.

Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
I've been avoiding getting an avatar because I hadn't found one I thought fit well, but with waggles awesome noodle-crab gif I think I've found it. Issue is that it's 0.97MiB. I've tried a few different file types but even those don't reduce it enough. Any ideas on what do I need to do to get it below the 150Kb?




Also, proof that WoW can have little gems in it:

drat, even quartering the frames (which actually is hilarious, just nauseating) doesn't get it below 350Kb, let alone 150. Messing with the colors barely reduced it at all.

Well, at least halving the frames made it a little more adorable. Gobblin' up those noodles.
