Is there anyway you can enlarge our avatars?

[GhostTrip]

I just think they're far too small. Some of them, I can't even make out.

If it was at all possible to make them twice as big as they are now I'd be very very happy!

 

[Longo_2_guns]

I agree!

 

[masterchris]

I think they're fine. Very non-obtrusive.

 

[used44]

I would prefer them to be a little larger.

 

[maca2kx]

A bit bigger but not twice as large as their current size, that'd be too much.

I don't mind the avatars on the forums being small, but couldn't we at least magnify them in the profile-page? You can't even view the "profile picture" in full scale now?

I'd like it if I could just check out the obscure avatars from the profile, but if they're getting bigger in the forums, twice the size is the maximum...

 

[LinksOcarina]

Twice as big would be nice, actually.

 

[masterchris]

They're 48 x 48 px right now, how about 65 x 65? or 75 x 75? That's not too large.

 

[LinksOcarina]

75X75 sounds good.

 

[JCD]

No, 65x65 is much better. We do not need large avatars. If it is big enough to make out, it's fine.

 

[joeblow]

I was thinking about increasing the size restriction last week actually.

Now if I can get some consensus on an appropriate size.

If joe can't fix it I know who can:

[masterchris]

Why don't we have something visual to look at and compare.

This is what we currently have, 48x48 px:

Next would be 65x65, which I personally prefer:

Next is 75x75, which I think is the absolute maximum we should go for (although I still prefer 65x65):

And finally, the original topic creator suggested double the current size, which would be 96x96:

Too big, imo.

 

[grandmagoodtimes]

I like the looks of 65x65, not too big, but still shows more detail.

 

[masterchris]

Agreed.
96x96 is clearly too big, 75x75 is pushing it. 65x65 is good.

Course if I could have it my way, we'd be back to ranks! I want my turtle back. THE greatest rank ever.

 

[grandmagoodtimes]

I want a rank. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep at night just dreaming of what I could be. I could be so great.... so.... awesome.

 

[masterchris]

Did you exist on the old boards, when there was a ranking system in place?

 

[joeblow]

Thanks for the examples masterchris. That should help.

I kinda like ranks too.

 

[grandmagoodtimes]

Sadly no, me = newbie.

 

[used44]

I'd actually choose 75x75, out of that list.
Thanks, mc.

And I'm actually past wanting ranks on this board. It was alot of fun for the first four years I was here, but let's leave it in the past. The current avater system is awesome, if a bit too small. Also, it works really well with the rest of the Community and comment site features.

I would like the metal system, however.
