Are profile pictures not automatically resized? I just tried to change mine and it did not, it was huge on the homepage, and then just a tall, thin piece of purple (like, the furthest eighth of the picture to the left) on my posts.

I use Imgur, so no worries on that, more like, it’s kind of unusual not to have profile pics resized automatically so that you don’t have to find the perfect size. In a small community like this, not a big deal, unlike were it to happen with a Google account. Seems kind of a basic thing, but I’m not any kind of expert.

You can use imgur to resize/crop an image for an avatar. Take a look at my example.

Thanks! I've only ever used it to upload photos and use them here, so didn't know I could do much else.

So, question, based on Filmspot voting:
Are there more lurkers on the forum than I realize? Or do some just like doing the Filmspots, but not really into the rest of the forum? Kind of wondering who is really out there!

Too bad more didn't submit Flimspots, but it was fun either way.

I feel like Filmspots and Shocktober are the only moments when I'm not strictly lurking. ;D

Anything weird happen with anyone's bookmark to this site? Usually I either open a new tab in Google and it comes up as my most visited site, where I click that link. On my phone, I only need to press in the address bar and the first site I see in the dropdown is the forum. Both of those went away. Also, the favicon is the Google "G" logo. It's like it was erased from my history.
