Title: Avatar Size?
LoobiLou - September 2, 2004 05:10 PM (GMT)
What do you think to having big avatars like on Filesoup? Something like 200x200? Everyone’s pictures would be a lot clearer, or we could just leave it as it is?
I’m not too bothered either way, just thought I’d give you all the option :)
goth willow fan - September 2, 2004 05:19 PM (GMT)
Well, I like big avatars :)
On several boards I have an avatar of 250x350 :)
LoobiLou - September 2, 2004 06:24 PM (GMT)
200’s just a rough number, it could be bigger? :)
goth willow fan - September 2, 2004 06:26 PM (GMT)
I must say I do find 80x80 just a touch on the titchy side ;)
Persephone - September 2, 2004 06:33 PM (GMT)
yay, lets go bigger :lol:

Would 200x200 be the only size we could have or the maximum size?

Maximum size :) If you’re using a picture which you have uploaded then it will stay that size. If you are linked to a pic that’s bigger than 200x200 then it will be resized :)

Personally, I would say stay smaller, cos I've already turned off viewing signatures, so its not quite as obtrusive and obvious when I'm at work. :)
What would be ideal is if we had an option to see large or small avatars on a personalised basis, but I bet it doesn't do that, does it?

I’m afraid not, there’s only the turn of avatars option :unsure:
...it's 2 - 1 at the moment :unsure:

Hmm.. you have a point there M :unsure:
LoobiLou - September 2, 2004 08:49 PM (GMT)
Right, I’ll put them at 200 for tonight and then people can make up their minds about it and say if we should keep it or not tomorrow night :)

The option to upload an image from a pc seem to have gone Rob .

Yeah that’s gone now, with limited space n all :ph43r:
LoobiLou - September 2, 2004 09:37 PM (GMT)
It looks ok at the moment :) especially when you get a few big avatars in a row, although it looks a bit messy when the post chain goes from small avatar to big.
Persephone - September 2, 2004 10:33 PM (GMT)
grrrrrr, giving up, trying to find a big avatar :cry:

Will any of these do? Made them my self from the DVD :01:

I'm not sure - when you had everyone with an 80x80 size avatar it looks nice and even; when (as this board shows) you have the option for people to choose their avatar size (up to a limit) you get people using different sizes, and it looks a bit of a mess :)
Psycho Jack - September 3, 2004 12:45 AM (GMT)
I’d say leave them at 100*100 Rob. Nice round figure!
LoobiLou - September 3, 2004 12:54 AM (GMT)
It does seem messy doesn’t it. I’ve been told that anything above 150x150 and the board will stretch, but when I try to set it down to 150 it just stays at 200, I think I broke it :unsure:
It’s 2am, I’ll come back to it later on in the morning ;)

I'm undecided. I use a board atm with large AVs and it is always looking untidy. It's mainly to do with the table lines not matching up as looking at the big pictures is great. It works there too as there are only a small amount of active users and the AVs are more or less themed to the board. Can we trial the large AVs for a few days?
willowroolz - September 3, 2004 08:56 AM (GMT)
Can I just say how much I like everyone's new avatars? Oh, I just did... :lol: :thumbsup:

Sure, I'll leave it like this over the weekend and we'll decide Monday :)
(Although I still can’t seem to make them smaller :unsure: )
LoobiLou - September 3, 2004 10:14 AM (GMT)
Look at Kate's Av, it's big (133x200) and it doesn't mess with the table lines, we could go with those? I think it goes up to 150 without stretching so we'd have 150x200 avs
goth willow fan - September 3, 2004 10:18 AM (GMT)
You could set it to 200 but request that av's should be no bigger than 150x200
LoobiLou - September 3, 2004 10:23 AM (GMT)
I’ve set it to 150x200 but it hasn’t changed yet? So if it does throughout the day then that’s why. This way we get to have big avatars and keep the tidy table lines :)
Anna - September 3, 2004 12:32 PM (GMT)
Nice - I might need another new AV then, I'll look for one later, that is if you haven't broken the settings :lol:
goth willow fan - September 3, 2004 12:49 PM (GMT)
Nooo don't get another av Anna - that one's very nice :wub:

But wont it look too small if it's shrunk? I could alway cut some the the black edging off anyway so the best bit of the picture stays big :D :thumbsup:

Just changed mine (I think I did it right :unsure: ).
I'm guessing the picture of AH I found where she's resting against some lockers in her underwear wont be acceptable :wub: :drool: :whistling:

You can never have too many Aly avatars on a board :D

Off to go find said piccy again :D
Michelle - September 3, 2004 01:51 PM (GMT)
Thought I may as well update my av, but as I'm lazy, I just used the same pic! :D
LoobiLou - September 3, 2004 01:54 PM (GMT)
It looks quite smart when there’s lots of 150x200 avs in a row, If problem persists with the size not going back down then we could just ask (make :shifty: ) members to have them set at 150x200 or lower :)
