What does my avatar say?
 

Can anyone read the text on my avatar?

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Not me.....

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Nope. Do YOU know what it says? Where did you get it from?

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

yes avatars are very small and hard to decipher.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I made it by hand it shouldn't be that hard to figure out if you take a good look at it.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Maemo Community <something>

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Mine says "Meow".

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Well, I've just saved a copy and opened it up in a photo viewer, and zoomed right in, and there is not enough detail to work out what is written.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

It says "Mullf is the coolest cat around." ;)

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Thats says Maemo Community User but I mean whats written on the screen of the Tablet. Its not just random letters.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

A really blurry blob of something? It is not legible at that size.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

its any exact copy of http://maemo.org/intro/ on the screen

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

yea...I knew that, I just wanted to give someone a chance to figure it out...;)

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I miss the big avatars.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

. . . and, yet, I've yet to see anybody file a feature request against Newstyle.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I can't even log in to the maemo.org website most of the time when using http:// (the login box in the upper right doesn't seem to work, but when I change to https:// I'm magically logged in ... or try going there when not logged in and clicking on an up-thumb in planet maemo...), and I haven't bothered to file any bug reports. I keep hoping someone with more interest in bugzilla will have the same problem. I can't be the only one, can I?

So if I'm that lazy, I'm certainly not going to file a feature request for a bigger avatar.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

bug reports are filed at http://bugs.maemo.org and I don't think there are logging problems there. Please do it, you have a point.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

There are, actually, (several, too lazy to dig up bug numbers, though—sjgadsby! sjgadsby! sjgadsby!) pick whichever matches your experience and add your comments there.

[rant/troll warning]

Come on, people. We went from 60x60 to 50x50. you wouldn't be able to decipher a full 800x480 screen of text at 60x60 either. how about 70x70 avatars? or even 80x80? would you be happy then? granted, it's a small number of pixels with which to express your identity, but nobody complained before the layout change.

so popular these days to criticize the new layout... imo, it's different, not worse. quit whining.

EDIT: i guess that's a bit of an overreaction... possibly in the wrong thread... i just wanted to get that off my chest.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

You know what it is? Reporting bugs into a formal bug system feels like a police interrogation. You have to report every detail you can think of, you get hassled if you didn't report something properly, and most of the time the problem doesn't get addressed to your satisfaction. It is a bit of a mystery why bug reporting is so much trouble when the system is supposedly supposed to be for volunteers to help developers. You would probably want to help make the experience as pleasant as possible for the volunteers, no?

So, I'll report big, terrible bugs if someone hasn't already done it. But if I can work around the problem (and when I log in to maemo.org, I can work around it by logging in and then manually changing the "http://" to "https://") I'm not going to drag my lazy body over that high threshold. If nobody else is reporting it, it is either something I'm doing wrong or something that is limited to a small subset of people.

And feature requests are the same. Sure, I miss the bigger avatars. But do I miss it enough to make a bug report and then receive endless chatter in my inbox from people arguing about whether this is a valid bug, what status the bug should be set to, or whether the bug should be marked "wontfix" or left as "super-low priority"?

No.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Ignorance is one thing, but if you're declaring your intention to not file bugs, then you should be aware that you're also largely forfeiting your right to complain. :)

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I filed the bug on it the other day so i get to complain now right :)

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

<hits thanks button>

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Yes, you can even whine a little if it suits you.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Have you ever known me to whine?

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

"I miss the big avatars" was more of a wistful, nostalgic, sad little comment than a "complaint".

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Does it say "Change ITT Black"?

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

The orange text on black in your avatar makes my eyes hurt, PenguinBait. ;)

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

i can't seem to add, should be in profile ?

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I would never put that because I'm open minded to change and I don't try and force my options on other people.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I filed a bug report on logging in new maemo.org, see #4417, I have been logging in maemo for two years on my tablet and as soon as they went beta i have had problems. The bug catcher said he couldnt reproduce it and i must be smoking something (i am paraphrasing, of course)...so if you have trouble please vote for my bug...

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

[SENTENCE REMOVED DUE TO ENSUING HOSTILITY ;) ]

Thank you for reporting it.

Here's the bug report: 4417

I got it confirmed with my vote.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

anyone help ?

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Let's get real here, qole, and provide the full quote instead of putting your little "spin" on it:

A simple statement of the inability to reproduce (this is a reality with bugs, sometimes even bugs with more than enough information—which this bug clearly lacks—cannot be reproduced) and a clarification request. There is nothing hostile here.

Let's be sure not to confuse the normal bug process with "hostility", because hostile bug responses do happen sometimes and they are unfortunate, but sticking your little opinions on responses which are clearly both appropriate and non-hostile only helps to break down the process.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

^ more hostility

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Hostility.... ROFL

Oh, You poor sweet sensitive soul... were the nasty computer people mean to you?

Awwww.

Here, look at these: :) :) :)

Oh, have some more:
:) :) :)


Extra <HUGS & KISSES>

Is that better dear? Now run outside and play.

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Qole, you are an educated and even illustrated person with good knowledge of English. Can you please detail what is hostile here:

The "bugcatcher" is called Niels aka X-Fade. He is the webmaster of maemo.org, and the first community guy that was funded by Nokia to work full time for all of you. He works a lot and is very responsible. He actually does much more than what he is asked to do.

It's ok if jandmdickerson didn't know all this when commenting on his bug (that had been raised days before by others including myself, by the way). But Qole you are a council member and therefore you should be a reference bridging between the community and the maemo.org team (made by comunity members, let me insist).

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I was merely adding humor to my post. The bugcatcher has always been professional and helpful to me. My bad-- I forgot to use my humor icon :D

I took it as qole was being playful and fun also. This is why I have come here for 2 years--it is fun. On a side note, I have also learned to understand GA. If you read his words and hear Spock (non-emotional) speaking the words in your mind then his comments will seems completely polite and helpful and never short. But beware it may be Pon Far time :D

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

I feel better now, thanks!

Re: What does my avatar say?
 

Wow I thought I had good knowledge of english, but I had never heard of an "illustrated person" does this mean well decorated or adorned?

I don't think is a common american english expression. Please correct me if I am wrong.
