Thread: Bigger Avatars!

C'mon' avatars are cool, and bigger the better *eyeing ethicks' avatar* . Perhaps not too big though, right now - if I'm correct this is the size we're allowed -

The maximum size of your custom image is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

Whaddya think?

I am and I've been in many forums. There avatars are usually allowed to be max 80*80, 100*100 or 120*120 pixels. I won't mind bigger avatars. Usually they are pretty cool and I remember the users easier from the avatars.

150 x 100 is standard for most forums I'm a part of. I think the staff does this to cut down server bandwidth cost, so I highly doubt they'll be changing this any day soon. Would be cool if it happened though lol..

Yeah it would be nice, creates more originality and color.

Could be however, you never no.. Im up for this as well if possible.

Ethick's avatar is rally cool , is it same size our avatars ?

Bigger avatars wouldn't be so bad.

I like the idea, but we gotta chill with the requests.

They are working on a new theme. And so i think they are kinda busy!

But yes, bigger avatars would be great!

This is VERY possible without even requesting for anything. You can set the size to ANYTHING you want. All you need is Firefox and the Stylish plugin. Unfortunately, this is only visible to you.

I just tested it on your avatar and it seems to be working. The largest I recommend would be 180px x 180px. For testing purposes, I went ahead and tried 500px x 500px....lol

This method is pretty much the same as the tut in my sig, but requires you to locate your avatar name whne you "View page source". In your case its

I can write-up something if you guys are interested. Hmmm, I'm having so much fun doing this, I might just do it for the hell of it.

Samples:

Oh what big..........avatar you have!

I Like the idea.
i suggest that the maximum size is 150 by 250 pixels.

i guess bigger avatars make it easier to see a clearer image especially for da 4eyed as me!!! =)
