Status / Avatar Caption and Avatar Sizing

[Michael Vee]

How does one change the status or avatar caption? This is the short blurb that goes with one's avatar. I'm not sure what that is called, actually.

Also, I can't move my current avatar around where the entire image is displayed. I'm currently using my traditional Thanksgiving one, but I can't get the entire Turklops into the frame - the very top of the head or bottom foot are getting cut off. How do you make the entire image fit into the avatar frame?

Using @beaglesandbass as an example, "Think first, then post?" is the avatar caption. I don't see any way to change it. I've been able to do both things in the past, but not now.

AFAIK...whatever image you use has to be sized to fit the available space.

Thanks, Was. In the dialog box where you select your avatar, it says that you can resize and reposition, but I can only reposition- not resize or crop. I did edit the Turklops JPG to change the size to be less than 400x400 pixels, but it still doesn't want to fit into the avatar frame.

Do you know anything about the avatar caption? I see you don't currently have one, either. I read somewhere that you have to be at least a supporting member of Talkbass to have one of those, and I am, but I still don't see where it is that that caption is set.

If @beaglesandbass or some other TB mod doesn't check in, I guess I'll just get through the week with my one-footed Turklops.. wouldn't be the end of the world.

Try clicking on your avatar to the right of the TB.com logo at the top of the page, then click your avatar again.

I think the caption is referred to as your signature and is pretty easily edited from your account.

The caption is "custom user title".

I did my avatar in paint. From what I remember, I experimented with canvas size till it fit. I opened the source file and the image properties are 2.44"x2.44" or 234x234 pixels.

If I open the image for editing from TB it's even smaller 192x192 pixels. If I open your avatar for editing its 192x192.

I haven't added a signature or status or profile banner. I believe the element you are calling a caption may be one of these.

It's a "Forum enhancement" feature available to supporting membership.

My Got Cluck was added while I was a supporting member.

Here is a part of the account upgrade feature list :
"Custom User Title - Signature Colors/Fonts - Username Changes (5x) - Exclusive Forum Access"

Custom User Title is what he's looking for and calling caption.
