I want to replace the picture of my pet with a bigger version, so that info, minion etc. surround it like the original one/are still visible. Is that (easily) possible? I'd be grateful for advice, how/what to do.

Are you simply wanting to enlarge the pet image?

As the pet image is the background image of the container that it lives in, so to speak, you'll want to increase the width and height - and then adjust the background size accordingly. For example: {width:300px; height:300px; background-size:300px;}

If you're adjusting the width and height to dimensions larger than the image, you may see the image repeating. To stop this from happening, add the following within the brackets of the line above: background-repeat:no-repeat; (Note that if you do this, you may also wish to adjust the [tt]background-position[/tt] as well.)

(Also, depending on the dimensions you're going for, you may end up wanting to adjust minion, et al., but this much should be able to get you started. :) )

Thank you so much for the info!

Yes, I simply want the 300 or even 400 version in place of the regular 200. I'll try that later in the day.

P.S.: jfyi, I tried (several times also with refreshing, even though I had only just opened your profile) to ToT you, but it will always give me the link experied info.

For a 400x400 version, I was able to otherwise preserve the default pet page layout with this: <style type="text/css"> {width:80%;} {width:400px;} {width:400px; height:400px; background-size:400px;} </style>

And drat, thank you very much for reporting on the link. 🙏 I thought I might've got it working, but it seems I've forgotten how to make one that doesn't expire after all. I'll just update it with the default ones. I appreciate it!

Thank you again - and: most certainly!

I simply pasted the 400 pixel code into Duliaz' (https://subeta.net/petinfo.php?petid=340526) description and it worked like a charm. However, now the 200 pixel picture is just blown up and not as sharp as the 400 version.

Would you also know, how I superimpose the proper 400 version "into the right spot"? Or is that not possible? Sorry, I don't know the slightest about coding...

Oh, I see. (And what an excellent overlay! Love the colours and the design <3) Yeah, with this method, you're just scaling it up. Do you have a larger version of the image? In order to replace it, you'd simply replace the image link that you currently have here: {background-image: url('//pets.subeta.net/220777.ZtnuLZJB9d.png');} ...changing only the part inside the ' ' with the link for the larger image.

Also-- Thank you for the book!

Yes, I do have larger versions - Dalice came to my rescue, when the person, who had been working on Venomous quit before having finished. She read my first description on my thread. She hit the nail on the head right away and came up with EXACTLY what I had had in mind originally colourwise and all. I loved it so much, that I decided to give another pet this overlay and she completely redid and redesigned Venomous. Thanks for the compliment.

I can't test it at the moment, because cloudflare is now constantly giving me the "need to verify you are human" and won't let me change any profile description anymore.

Earlier I changed Venomous' profile to 300 pixels, to see, if the resolution would be better with less scaling. Then I wanted to make a small change on another pet's text and it wouldn't let me anymore. I hope it'll be resolved again tomorrow.

Btw., I was stalking your pets earlier and was blown - or rather washed? - away by Adstrum's profile! Stunning! What a swell idea!

It's me, who has to thank you, just a tiny sign of appreciation for your great help!

That's awesome! She did a fantastic job with it :D

And unfortunate about the verification disruption thing. I haven't really encountered that myself, but I think I recall hearing of others running into it before. Can't remember if there was a solution, though.. Hopefully it doesn't stymie you for too long, either way.

Haha, thank you for the compliment on Adstrum! Things are a bit rudimentary there at the moment, but I was just working on that last night :D

Sorry to bother you again. I tried another browser today, the 'are you human' issue appeared again, but after clicking the the square I was sent back to the changed pet description. However the overlay isn't there, still the blown up original.

What I put in is:

Did I make a mistake? Would you kindly check? Respectively do you have another idea?

That's so typically me, that the smallest tasks turn into a huge project taking up days or longer...

I put the 300 pixels code on Venomous profile, not as big as 400 looks sharper/better.

Sorry and thank you!

There's no bother at all, I was anticipating hearing from you again either way once you were able to work on it again.

Be patient with yourself, friend : ) Even html and css are esoterica in their own way; there's no reason to be hard on yourself for having a little difficulty navigating it when you're not really familiar with it in the first place.

And- It's still a small task, actually! You've simply set the pet image line outside of the style tags, which must house all the code. You could move it below the [tt]style[/tt] line and put it on its own line, or you could even consolidate it with the [tt]pet_image[/tt] line that's already there, like this: {width:400px; height:400px; background-size:400px; background-image: url(https://i.imgur.com/QOLyDUJ.png);}

oh, oh, oh, I'm so daft, of course, sorry! It is ages - I guess shortly after joining - that I bothered a little with any of this, I guess I should have known, but I have a very small harddisk in my head, everything I don't use for a couple of years gets wiped - no matter how firm I may have been in certain areas. And no, I have no patience with myself, I'm highly annoyed by myself, constantly.

Of course it worked and it looks as good as Dalice meticulously crafted it for me.

Thank you soooo much!!! Sending you an envelope - thought you might want to open it yourself to find the note, rofl

You're not alone, I have tiny memory too 😌 All the same, you deserve to show yourself compassion - though I know all too well how difficult that is.

Duliaz looks fabulous! And many thanks for the note, my reader appreciates it very much :D

You're more than welcome and huge thanks again!
