I know there has been a lot of request for larger signatures and that sort of thing on the site. I'm just wondering if our avatars could be larger. They really are quite small compared to other places I've been. And the space they're in isn't ever somewhat pressed to fit the image in. Just a little increase in size would be a positive. If not, it's really no loss. But it wouldn't be incredibly hard to change the X by Y dimension limitations.

I agree. I had to photoshop my avi a few times just to get the size requirement and then again to get the memory requirement. not fun
 
I requested the exact same thing on a different forum, but they just shot me down. I thought it was a good idea, to say the least.
 
Well this site already allows 50kb avatars which is actually quite large in taking up space. And sometimes larger avatars such as 140x140 actually go over that sometimes. Besides 100x100 is a standard size for any forum.
 
Hmm, I actually like the size of our avatars. Not too big, not too small. It's perfect really. And plus it'll require extra space on the site, which can be a downside. Hmm, I wonder if it affects the bandwidth? Anyway, add the signatures. Now those things take up A LOT of space, so increasing our avatar's sizes will take up more space than what's necessary.

Heh, avatars aren't the main thing in this forum anyway.
 
personally ive never had a problem with avatar sizes...so increasing the size wouldnt really bother me :P

it seems to have the perfect size limit already.
 
I think a bigger avatar size is a prefectly good idea. It took me a while to get my current one, and I couldn't use the one that went with my previous tag because it was too large. It shouldn't take up too much space on the server either, so it shouldn't slow everything down too much
 
Yeah... The avatar size doesn't bother me, and you can see that I have probably the smallest avatar right now. Doesn't bother me.
 
Banners generally take up a fair amount of bandwidth on websites, when most of its members have them. And considering some people have more than one, and are large in size, I think signatures could be reduced in order for slightly larger avatars. I've got a bunch of avatars to use which I really like, but the quality is drastically reduced when I shrink them to 100x100. Even something as little as 20 pixels extra would make a huge difference.

So yeah, I'd like the size allowance bigger. D'=
 
I think the avatars are fine as they are. To be honest, what would you put in an avatar that needs more than 100x100 pix.

Also, the 50kb memory limit is huge. Probably the largest I've seen around forums.

I think things are fine as they are now. I don't see why you can't put whatever it was you wanted in your avatar into your sig.
 
LOL, most forums I've seen have like a 120x120 pixel limit, but a size limit smaller than 50kb. If you wanted to make the physical size allowance bigger, you could always compromise by allowing a smaller file size??
