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.



True and true.

I'd hate to see xpt become a fanboard, where people post avatars and "signatures" consisting of 1000x1000 "mashups" of Hilary Duff, or Hillary Scott, or whoever their current obsession is. The 300+ post "tribute" threads already aren't worth loading for 15 minutes in order to read the most recent posts. I don't want to have to sit through animated gifs and 10-line signatures, complete with pics of Holly picking beans, in order to read "+1" or " ".
