larger avatar

[hyde]

Bennett, I could not use my old avatar once I changed it, so it is now pretty small. I mean 80x80 pxl is just TOO small, can you do something about this?
Please consider letting people use at least 125x125 and have 50KB, now it is pretty small and needs to be compressed to hell to get an avatar working.

I second the request....

I would go against it. it would just clutter everything up. sigs are already getting bigger and bigger, and having the left side w/ a bigger avatar would just be ridiculous.

but thats just me.. I am old school like that

I can bump up the KB, but let me look into the sizing to see what it is at. I think anything over 100 pixels would be too big. Jon's is about the size of 98 x 91 and it looks good.

 

[hyde]

Yeah, Jon, why don't you try changing your avatar.

Bennett, all those avatars got transferred from old server works fine, (actually jon's current file size and dimentions are over the limit on VB) so if anyone tries to change them they will be limited to 80x and 19.5 KB.
Try yourself! So I guess 100x, and 50kb will work fine, and allow gifs.

You are correct, sir. I noticed this too when I changed mine one day, then it was too late to back to the one I had that was bigger. It use to be 111 x 111 I think, now 80 x 80. Not a huge deal though.

 

[Bennett]

Done. Try it now.

 

[hyde]

finally, my original avatar is back.
thank you

How come it's back to 80x80 and 19.5? I changed mine today and it shrunk again.

 

[hyde]

This is strange....

 

[06Liberty]

yeah, you should try it yourself...then you can have a tiny little avatar like me! LOL

 

[hyde]

I did before.. and then you cannot go back to it. . i know

 

[06Liberty]

(bump)

 

[06Liberty]

still curious as to why I can't make my avatar any bigger than 80x80, but most other ones are more like 100x100....and it's not the one left over from the old site, they've been updated recently in the bigger size but for some reason I cannot make mine any bigger than what it is now?? just aggravating is all.....

The water must be cold, you must allow for shrinkage.

 

[hyde]

Bennett must have done something to reset it to original

I frequent a local Jeep forum that uses vB, and the admin over there has it set up so that you can get a larger avatar by donating to support the site. There is of course some overkill - one person has an avatar that's 396x260 But I think having the ability to have a larger avatar (say 150x150) in exchange for supporting the site might be something to consider.

Reminds me I need to order some stickers from Bennett
EDIT: done

 

[hyde]

So Bennett is alive?
