Changing avatar options

Durbkat · 06-04-2006, 05:42 PM

I was wondering if you can change the size of avatars we can have to 200x200 pixels because I've learned that if you have anything smaller the picture looks distorted and if there is writing on it, it becomes to small to read. So admin can you change the avatar options to 200x200 pixels or bigger? Also could we have animated avatars as the mods have them and every other forum has animated avatars as well so could we have them? <---See what I mean with the small avatar size you can't read the writing on the book the president is holding. Thanks for listening to my suggestions.

I can go with this idea but only after a user has reached a certain amount of posts. Pics can take a lot of space on a server and if we have 600+ pics that can severly limit server efficiency. Maybe after 100 posts this could be an option.

It won't take up space to have avatars 200x200 pixels, other forums have them bigger thank that and each member can only have 1 avatar pic so that wouldn't be a problem. Also if they did that then people would be spamming and making stupid and usless post just so they can have normal sized avatars and animated ones.

Not every forum is the same. You havent taken into account bandwidth limits for the server and bandwidth for each individual user (not everyone has high speed), forums have different amounts of users, and different amount of posts. I'm not saying your idea doesn't have merit, but there are many things to consider before making global changes to a forum. I will bring this up to the other mods and Admin.
