I do not recall if this was ever discussed before, but why is there a limit of 100 x100 pixels on Avatar Pictures? How much trouble would it be to adjust/fix this to allow the same range of freedom we have with plopping images in the middle of threads?
I'm just askin'.....

what do you mean burg? people who link to fullsize pictures that are than shrunk to fit shit me, it's a waste of bandwidth. it'd be even worse if they weren't resized. 100x100 is all you need db.

Naww.. Da B is right on. 100 x 100 is too small. We can post a pic of an infected clam 5x's that big without any problems. Even if the powers that be allow us to go to 150 x 150 or 2 x 2, the effect would be minimal on bandwidth.. El G wastes more with his incoherent babble. Fucken brilliant idea Da B...

I've had to bounce a lot of possible avatars because of the size issue, so I'm with the Lou Cr3w on this one.

Just who runs this place,,,,Who are the admins that run these board .. Most forums will indentify who is admin..It seems like it must be third party..
In all the time i have been here i haven,t seen any upgrades or changes..WE are lucky if we get a new smilie to post.. Looks like your on a server out of Seattle,,So your definitely not on an off shore server...You should be able to set up a board like this for very minimal cost,if any, with unlimited space..The software that runs this forum is kind of dated........ Time for an update,, i would suggest V-Bulletin.. Thankyou.

I use the very popular Irfanview.
1. Open the pic with irfanview. 2. Click Image menu. 3. Select Resize/Sample. 4. You'll see two edit fields labeled Width and Height on the left hand side. Whichever number is larger, change it to 100. Click OK. 5. Save the photo.

Alot of you seem to be missing Da B's point. Its not about being able to resize the Ava. Its about the size restriction on the Ava's themselves. His arguement (and mine) is that 100 x 100 is too small. It seems that there is no restriction on the size of the pics we can upload.. So why is there a restriction on the size of the Avatars we use?
It's merely a question it seems..not a complaint.

FWIW - There is a size limit to posting a picture. You see this when you try to attach a pic that is too big.
Files can be no larger than 175000
175 KB is the limit.
Personally, I'm fine with the status quo regarding avatars, but increasing the size availability is cool too.
Carry on.

Thanks for clearing that up King.. I was wrong to say there is no size restriction on pics we post. That being said we can all agree that 175 kb is a shit-ton more than 100 x 100 for an avatar.

I don't see any reason to move bigger than the 100 x 100 standard. I've seen boards with big avatars and they look funny. They distort the page proportions and distract from the high calibre discussion.  What I'd like to see is a way to automatically upload a pic into the message pane, instead of cutting and pasting the link and inserting the image tags manually.

I like the avatar and signature restrictions just as they are. Too many forums get ruined by idiots with huge animated avatars and signature graphics. A good example of a shit forum is blackgirlonline.
This forum software may have some age on it, but it's pretty quick overall and easy to read.

One thing I really like is the choice of color schemes, something lacking on most boards. I notice, though, that most people here seem to stick with white and sky blue default.
And you know this how?

Yeah that's true. I thought you were going to point out yet another super moderator power we didn't know about.
Since you mentioned that I have been looking at the other color schemes. I think people use the default because the other ones really suck. Try "wild" if you don't believe me.

After seeing this, it's no fucking wonder there are so few domain names available!
