Hello there,

Just a quick suggestion.
Wouldn't the forum look a little neater and more organized if all the avatars would share the same image size (just the size - not the car depicted on it!). This way the message layout would look by my opinion a little nicer.
Some avatars are animated....please...I have nothing against an animation (as a matter of fact I am an animator). But sometimes I found it is tricky to keep an attention on the text when an avatar to the left of text is constantly blinking, changing the images and etc.

I am sorry if my opinion would seem to someone inappropriate

 

Good point Sputnik!

And this OOOOOversized, page-spoiling avatar problem is particularly current topic problem. I second.

 

Yes, please, John .... emancipate us from this! It was sort of amusing briefy, but now it's just visual clutter (speaking as an art director here).

Oooo, wait 'till I go get some popcorn for this show. People are probably going to start in on their 'rights' to do whatever they want with their avatars next <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

 

I agree 150%. Also Max size for pictures posted should be 640 because it is extremely annoying to be sliding back and forth in order to read the lines.

I got it Robert! Its microwave popcorn, but it will have to do. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

BTW, I agree. Lets try to "get small" people.

 

I am guilty of posting a too large Avitar and I apologize. I have resized but now I cannot figure out how to upload the picture again.

 

I think the animated avatars are pretty cool. The size of some avatars could be adjusted. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

 

Cropped, too ;-)

Ha, it's funny that some of the comments about avatar width, come from peoples with wwwwiiiidddddeeeee ones!!

John, add to what I imagine is your already LARGE work load and put some code in to check image properties, if it exceeds X pixels width and height, resize it before loading to the topic. OK, maybe people should police themselves in the meantime?

Cheers,
Dylan.
