Forum and Avatar Updates

I wanted to comment on this Announcement post and I thought others might as well.

Lost & Found Forums
Thank you all for your bearing with us and having as much patience as you possibly could, we've FINALLY gotten the 2011 Lost & Found forums set up. Separate sections to post something lost as well as something found, and in a number of categories (see below).

Bags (Backpacks, Camelbaks, Handbags, Luggage)
Bikes
Clothing
Equipment & Tools
Eyewear (Glasses, Sunglasses, Goggles)
Gadgets (Cameras, Phones, MP3 Players)
Humans
ID (Drivers Licenses, Passports, Wallets, Purses)
Jewelry
Keys
Other/Misc.

Spread the word, let other burners know. Here's a handy shortened URL for all your social networking needs: http://bit.ly/BM2011LnF

Avatars
Effective immediately, we've increased the size of your avatar (user pic) from 80x80 pixels to 150x150 pixels! The file limit is still 256K, but that shouldn't be a problem for most JPG pictures with reasonable compression. The pictures won't enlarge, so to take advantage of it you need to upload a larger sized pic.

To upload a larger pic:
Slice and dice a pic up to 150x150 pixels and 256K using your favorite image editing program.
Click on 'User Control Panel' (top left of the screen)
Click on the 'Profile' tab (right next to Overview)
Click on the 'Edit Avatar' button.
Choose your file and then click 'Submit' to upload.

Once the picture's been uploaded, it'll show on all your posts on ePlaya.

Cheers!

Really like the larger Avatars...thinking ahead, if everybody enlarges their Avatars to the new size, it will sure look good on the new M&G name tags for next year.

Now to figure out how to enlarge mine!
