Bleh, I know we've talked about this before. But are we ever going to have bigger avatars, maybe a little bit bigger. Come to a compromise? 120x120 looks pretty decent.

![]() Seriously, though, what's the point? 48x48 is still big enough to show most things, and it translates really well into MSN avatars. Just be thankful avatars aren't 32x32 and the only options available being random tiles from JJ2 tilesets. |

Hmm, that's totally reasonable. I can barely see my avatar, lol.

He just took your avatar and changed the height and width with html, which you could've noticed when you quoted him. As for your complaint about avatars being too small, just be happy you're allowed to have one. Forgetting about that long battle to get them in the first place already?

I must've missed that fight, Blur.
![]() I also think that 48x48 is ok, but 50x50 wouldn't hurt either. Nothing above 55x55 though. |

Unless he resized that from a larger image. Which seems likely.

I think I campaigned for 50x50 (as that's what dA uses, and it's also a nice size to resize my 100x100 ones for yahoo/msn/lj to), but apparently 48x48 is just as common. That makes it 3 sets of images for avatars then.
I like them being small, anyway. It's a lot nicer than the great big signature images people used to have, especially when you have a tempermental 48k-on-a-good-day dialup connection. |

I think we wanted to keep them small and a constant size because we considered them user "icons" rather than user "pictures". If there is a lot of demand for larger ones though, we could consider it.
Another possibility might be to keep the avatars the same but also enable profile pictures (large images you can put in your profile).

I'm against it. In another forum that one dude has an avatar of a car he likes, which is pretty big, and it messes up the whole page's layout.
48x48 is fine. I'm for profile pics though.

MSN display pictures are actually 96x96. Furcadia uses 95x95. I think 96x96 would be nice, but of course with that size change there would also have to be a filesize change.... And I don't exactly like how it converts pics to GIF format.... So I propose off site avatar hosting at 96x96. That way I can have a nicely compressed PNG format image instead of crappy GIF. PNG > ALL

I propose 3000x3000. That way, it's a simple, uniform three to four page-downs to scroll past every avatar.
Alternatively, I think it would be neat if we could customize the entire cell left of our post, like a signature. Only the cell should stay the same size and the images should rescale to fit that size if the cell changes in size (e.g. if you make the window smaller).

The avatars are WAY TOO SMALL. As long as it isn't bigger than 100 by 100, I'm fine. But COME ON!!! What are we supposed to be able to do in that TINY space?
