    Larger avatars?

    Sasq, could the avatars be a bit larger nowadays? Not in size, just dimensions, say something like 90x90. I don't think it would clutter the layout...

      Because I pre-approved it, and uploaded it manually.

      hrm now there is an idea, maybe donating members can get 90x90

          Personally, I like the smaller avatar size. I'm not a fan of "large" avatars on forums. tends to distract from where the actual focus should be.

            The actual focus should be... on the bouncing boobies.

              I'm good with the current size, besides I don't want to resize mine anyways, it never comes ou right.

                I'm struggling to see the need or use for larger avatars, in dimensions. Larger file size, maybe, but I agree with DGhost that smaller is better and less distracting.

                We already have signatures that take up more room than a post, do we really need avatars that do the same?

                  But if you look at the current layout, there's a still unused place "around" current 75x75 avatar, they could be slightly larger IMHO without harm. As for distractions...I think animated ones are more distracting than a bit larger static...so perhaps we'll limit size to 10KB? (mortal fear fell on Zokes )

                    I have enough trouble as it is at work now that for some reason we seem to think close-ups of heaving chests (where is implication is she is having sex) are acceptable for this forum. (And no, I don't want to turn Avs off).

                    Keep 'em small and use some taste - this is a forum with standards, standards that used to be higher.

                          Is mine still good or is it floating between acceptable and un-acceptable? I wouldn't want my av to cause any trouble for anyone.

                          I am the one who kinda started the whole bouncing fad, but I had mine WAY before the others though.
