Bigger avatars?
Would the board survive a slight relaxation of the size limit on avatars? E.g. to 200x200?
I think the effect on the server, the internet pipes, and the membership should not be too bad.

Re: Bigger avatars?
I think the server could cope. I'm not sure I could. 200 x 200 would double the size of the header row or the left column. Esthetically, I find that troubling.

Re: Bigger avatars?
Curse you toppers. In leftie layout, the left column is already considerably wider than 100 pixels (although it might not be 200).
* JoeP measures
It's about 185 pixels wide.

Re: Bigger avatars?
What?
Are you trying to get a to-scale picture of Anna Nicole in...on...around...your avatar?

Re: Bigger avatars?
g, the main requirement is for curses to have this as an avatar and still have the text legible:

Re: Bigger avatars?
It's as good a reason as any, to be sure. We could make a special case. ceptimus gets 6 extra pixels in width to make his avatar work properly. A hundred extra pixels is a tad much for an exception, though, especially since I'm sure many people have images between 100 and 200 pixels they'd like to be able to use.

Re: Bigger avatars?
Yah, if they end up too tall I might be forced to switch to left postbit. And we all know where that would end up...
The height on that image is only 173px though. It could probably survive a little cropping at the top and bottom, too.

I saw the resized version and consider it quite legible. One could also improve that avatar by making the text bigger, there's considerable wasted space in the balloons right now.

Re: Bigger avatars?
Here's a version with the text enlarged by 25% and the image entire reduced to avatar restrictions. Making it 24-bit color let me do some filter tricks to make the text better, too, hence why it's a png and not a gif now.
I'd also note that, for curses avatar to be better rendered, the width restictions don't need to be changed -- it just needs to be taller.

If 100x100 pixels was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.

The proper postbit formatting. I wouldn't mind the avatar size limit being upped to 125 by 125 pixels. I think that would make for a good size.
