At work I'm currently working on a brand new G5 Macintosh.
Great machine but I'm from the windoze environment and all that.
Having said that I usually find my way around the systems. Anoying thing is that some avatars on Ausfish are well and truly stretched.
Take Hagars Avatar for instance, I check the attributes on the Windows machine and it says that its 110x86 as it does on my own avatar. But on the Mac it shows an image that is 640 x 480 pixels and I mean I can drag the avatar of on the desktop open it up and I have a full resolution 7inch by 5 inch image!! My own avatar downloads at 144x113 and thus works fine (even thought the windows machine shows the image and says its 110x86).
My own avatar and plenty of others work fine. Hagars and outersiderskip and many others, their avatars seem to download at higher resolution and will then get squashed horizontally thus getting a long drawn out image, Smithy looks downright dangerous...
I figure its something to do with the sites automatic compression of images as how else can the avatar be downloading at full size and resolution??
Haven't yet got the Mac on the network so I can't drag the files into photoshop and check and I don't know where to check image atttributes on the mac. Anyway I'll attach the picture of Hagars Yalta that I dragged straight out of the avatar, that should show you the height I'm getting on the screen when his avatar pops up.
