I have nothing to say except that I couldn't resist scanning your avatar :P

It's just my KS level. And for some reason I can't scan it. (Why won't you just be scannable?)

With lots of trouble, I got it to scan (its possibly too small, and it says unsupported barcode.

EDIT: I zoomed in on the website, did another scan, and this time it instantly got it, but the same unsupported barcode message popped up.

It seems that the barcode is not either made in a layout not supported by my scanner, or the program you made it with is flawed.

I think it's a mistake I made when cropping it.

EDIT: I scanned it after zooming in (why did I not think of that?) and it worked for me. I'm using the Scan app for iOS, if that matters.

Using http://www.barcodesoft.com/online-barcode-generator.aspx, I've managed to find the problem.

It appears the length of the url is too long. If I use this url: http://nifflas.lpchip.nl?topic= with QR Code, it does scan but as soon as I add one character, the barcode gets larger, and I no longer can scan it.

Using Matrix Code, I can however succesfully create a scannable link to your level. See attachment

EDIT: I use ScanLife for Symbian S60v5
EDIT2: also, why make your avatar so small? the sizelimit is 100x100.

It worked straight away for me, scanned with Google Goggles for Android.

I'm changing it to link to something else soon, I'll use a different generator and shortened links next time to ensure anyone can scan it. And make it larger.

EDIT: Right now the link doesn't lead to anything interesting. I just don't have time to make the new page.
