Help with AVs/Avatars

Here are some tips on AV codes:

  • Scripts are not allowed in AV codes, so if you’re trying to use a font that has the word script in it then it won’t work.
  • Avs with links hidden in them are not allowed. Some chatters visit the site on their phones/tablets and if they tap your av while scrolling it takes them to the link and/or out of the room.
  • Keep it simple. You don’t need a long complicated code.

NOTE:  Please avoid setting the font size with your AV code.  A lot of people have difficulty reading smaller fonts. So be considerate and let the site set the font size.  I will be adding a post on that soon and will add a link here.

Examples of av codes (Replace the bold underline parts):

The simplest AV code is:

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL"/>YOUR NAME

Seriously!!  Anyone can get this right.

Centered with name under av:

<CENTER><IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL"><BR><FONT FACE="FONT NAME"><FONT COLOR="HEX CODE ">YOUR NAME</FONT></FONT></CENTER>

Left aligned with name on the right side of the av:

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL"><FONT FACE="FONT NAME"><FONT COLOR="HEX CODE ">YOUR NAME</FONT></FONT>

Left aligned with name under av:

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL"><BR><FONT FACE="FONT NAME"><FONT COLOR="HEX CODE ">YOUR NAME</FONT></FONT>

Right aligned with name on the left side of the av:

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL" align="right"><div align="right"><FONT FACE="FONT NAME"><FONT COLOR="HEX CODE">YOUR NAME</FONT></FONT></div>

If you want to customize your font and colour of your posts you add the html tags at the end of your av code (these tags don’t need to be closed):

<font color='HEX CODE'><font='FONT NAME'>

You can do a lot more with styles than with HTML

To resize your AV:

You can set the width and height as in the example below though you better be sure the numbers are in the right ratio or else your AV will look warped.

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL" style="width:500px;height:350px"/>YOUR NAME

It may be easier to simply specify the width or the height.  If you have a very tall AV you can do this:

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL" style="max-height:350px;"/>YOUR NAME

Your browser will automatically adjust the width.  If your AV is way too wide you can do something like this:

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL" style="max-width:500px;"/>YOUR NAME

If you want to preview your av and see if there are any errors in the code you can use this online html editor.

To add a mouseover for your AV:

To add a mouseover tag simply add a title to you av code as follows:

<IMG SRC="YOUR AV URL" title="MY MOUSEOVER TEXT" style="max-width:500px;"/>YOUR NAME

New features being released

 At DeviantLives I believe there should always be changes and enhancement to the site to make your chatting experience better.  Here are some changes on their way:

  1. Improved admin panel user interface to make it easier for you to add mods and register users for your room
  2. When registering a user you can choose whether they can boot someone from your room and if they can post videos.  So now either you or some selected users can be granted boot permissions and they can do so right from the chat screen.
  3. Type commands as an alternative to using your mouse and clicking on config or going to the mod screen.  For example in the message box you can type commands such as:
    1. To change your av: @av av_code
    2. To change your av just using an image url (no AV string or code): @av simple image_url
    3. To play a youtube video, make sure you select "All" (if you select a person then the video will play only for that person): @video play youtube_url (Room owner should have granted you permission to do so and you have to log in as a room member).  Youtube urls must be in one of two formats:
      1. To play a single video.  Note the bold and colored part of the URL:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87rhZTumujw
      2. To play a youtube playlist:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJOTlE1K90k&list=RDaJOTlE1K90k
    4. To toggle off the youtube screen: @video off (Room owner should have granted you permission to do so and you have to log in as a room member).
    5. To boot someone select the person to be booted then type: @boot number_of_minutes (Room owner should have granted you permission to do so and you have to log in as a room member)
  4. Yes... Another server change.  When the time comes I will send all room owners  an email on what to expect.

Page Two, the Rest of the Story

 

I once knew a Finn named, Benny;
We shared between us a snort
His sister who was named Penny
had herself an interesting wart
In those places most oft hidden,
and I never asked her to see
but off came the ribbon
by the place where she pee
I'll not bore you with facts,
nor, a too morbid description
but her hygiene was lax
and defies my depiction
So, when you're snorting with Benny,
either away, or, at your home
make sure you and Penny,
are never, ever trapped all alone
