technophobe me again lol. anybody understand what it means for downloading avatars when it say so many pixels by so many pixels max? all I know is sizes like 120x75 etc but is that pixels?

oh forgot to ask....when adding attachments to posts and it says max amount of bytes...anybody what that is in kb's pleeze?

[Perna]

Yes, that's pixels, the 120 x 75 stuff.

A kb is 1024 bytes, so just divide whatever number of bytes by 1000 and you'll get the rough kilobyte size. 10,000 bytes, for example would be 10kbish.

awww Perna you're wicked...and you kept it to a nice easy number too coz I can't do hard math. lol. dividing by ten I can handle though.

just a sidebar on pixels my friends...if you were to take a photo and enlarge it say 10 times you would lose perspective and the pic would look blurry or off a bit...if we magnified this photo a 1000 times we would not be able to regognize the picture...you will notice that your pic looks like little squares...these squares are pixels...pixelated photos can be dithered and anti-aliased...to make them seeable...and further the size you want your pic to be as in 80 x 60 pixels is 80 pixels long and 60 pixels wide...your monitor is the same except it is probably 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 pixels...
