[Release] distract-o-matic
Latest version: 1.9

What is this?
An JavaScript script that resizes all gravatar avatars on /talk.

Sounds stupid, why use it?
Because I personally feel that the 100x100 size limit is rather limiting, so I decided I wanted 200x200 avatars. Tbh, gravatar allows everything up to 512x512, so even that is fair game.

w/e, how do I use it?
You can grab the script here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/130159. You need Scriptish or Greasemonkey to use it. For the lucky chaps with Chrome, go nab Tampermonkey (Greasemonkey Chrome port) to use it, since after 1.2, it no longer works without it.

Here's a detailed explanation on how to use:
1) sign in your account at gravatar.
2) On the Manage my gravatars page, select 'Check this gravatar'
3) Copy the URL on the third line. For me, it looked like this:

Code: Select all

http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/caa4479313e71fe7b3e76cf684833d7c?s=80

4) Go to the UCP >> Profile >> Edit avatar and paste the URL there.
5) Edit the URL, so the last part will be ?s=100&foo=bar.png instead of just ?s=80.
6) Enter 100 in both fields at the bottom.
7) Enable script and enjoy being distracted by oversized gravatars.

1.2 update: on the first run, you will get a dialog box to set avatar size.

Why the irrelevant name?
Huge avatars are distracting, ne?

TODO: add configuration for avatar size. Stuck on 200x200 right now

there's a site called uzzisoft which is a random pic generator for avatars and signatures. try using that for a bit of fun since it actually works on everyone's computer who comes across it

Finished.
Next up on the list, configuration button, I guess.

I'll have a look later.
Also, excuse my not-so-awesome JavaScript knowledge, but I'm doing the best I can.

This is epic, thanks a lot Works perfect.

Oh and if anyone set a wrong image size , you can change it by deleting the cookie xnx_distract_avi_size from wololo.net folder :3
(Note : I didn't find that, he told it to me lol)
