I was just wondering. Is it possible for Ryan to change the avatar's restricted size? I have a f***ing sweet avy, but it's 150x150.

You can always use it in your sig..

Angelic Kitsune · #3 07-09-2005, 09:00 PM

Yeah,but its not the same.Seeing as there is a restricted amount to things in your sig as well.Besides,the avatars should be allowed to be alittle bigger.

Just resize the ava that's what I do to mine when it's to big.

I would normally do that but if I scale it down, it will jack up the quality. I know, because I've already tried.

Same with me.
It just looks weird if you try to make things smaller some times

Resizing does work, but I actually wouldnt mind being allowed a slightly larger Avatar...

150x150 is a good idea...IMO of course...

Resizing the image doesn't lower the quality of the pic if you use the right program. :P

Yeah next thing ya know you'll be asking for free pinwheels when you sign up.

Resizing doesn't = lower quality. You have to constrain the proportions, mizzorons. Like so

800x600 < clearly too big for a avatar

Divide by 8.

100x75 < now you're okay.

Stay in school kids.

Photoshop will do that automatically for you. If you go to Image -> Image Size and type in the first number, it will automatically change the second number.

As for the avatar size, a slight raise to 150x150 couldn't hurt.

Yeah, most newer programs do calculate the second # for you. My favorite program to use to resize images is any Jasc art program.

Although I don't mind how big we can make our avatars (I've been on boards where you're only allowed to have one that's 50x50, no more, no less) especially since most boards are 100x100 maximum. I guess it's just the way it is. But 150x150 would be nice for most members, I can tell. I've seen too many people on this board with avatars that just don't look right resized the way they are. If they could be bigger, that'd be pretty great, I'm sure.
