Re: Avatars
At this time, I would have to say no. That is one of my pet peeves when reading message boards, if they allow larger avatars it really cuts down on the read-ability of the forum. Why is it that you want larger avatars?wbtfg wrote:Would it be possible to have larger avatars?

Look at his wonderfully smiling face on his Avatar Now! He just wants to be able to share his good looks better with the rest of us!kmax wrote:At this time, I would have to say no.

And there is the other reason. The thought of looking at a huge picture of WhiteMeat with everyone of his posts is a bit scary.mslacat wrote:Look at his wonderfully smiling face on his Avatar Now!

My avatar does not now, nor has in the past, depict a person of mentally challenged state. If you have a problem with it, please call the U.S. department of Bite my A$$. MTBuff/Administrator.

larger avatars
Hey! I am trying to download an avatar but I get an error message that it is too large however, I have looked at a few that are existing on the site already and those files are larger than the one I am trying to download. Just curious, 'cause I have a VERY cool bobcat picture that I want to have with my posts!

Re: larger avatars
There is also a file size limit as well, perhaps this is what you are running into. The current avatar limits are max 80 pixel X 80 pixel and max 6 Kb.SenorWeezer wrote:Hey!

Re: avatar...contiued!
Use an image resizer and decrease the quality a little bit.SenorWeezer wrote:Ahhhh, that is the issue. My download is 60x76 pixels, but 3626 bytes. Bummer.
I use http://www.mihov.com/eng/ir.html for all my resizing needs.

Re: avatar...contiued!
3626 bytes is under 6Kb. By the stats you list there shouldn't be a problem. Shoot me an email with the avatar you want to use and I will try it to see if I can determine the problem.SenorWeezer wrote:Ahhhh, that is the issue. My download is 60x76 pixels, but 3626 bytes. Bummer.
