Question Bigger Avatars
Can the avatars be at least 110x110 pixels? I can't see my avatar the way the current settings are.

Members that have donated to the site can have 65x65 avatars

like your request for siggy images...I doubt it...

In case you have not got it...the message is no one at this site wants to look at big image signatures or avatars every time you or anyone else posts...

Well, this subject has been covered many, many times. Mike doesn't want banner sigs, huge avatars, and the rest of the BS that pollutes other forums.

Most of us agree.

I figure if you can't see the avatars, you most likely are having trouble with the text also. The text is smaller than the avatar.

Why not edit you avatar? I notice you have a full picture of some woman. Why not take that 110x110 avatar you want to use, crop it so it is only the important part of the picture (Face or upper body), and then resize it to fit? There, problem solved.

HELL, post a full picture of 7 of 9 and I will edit it for you if you don't know how. I will even add a simple effect like scrolling your screenname if you want

last I checked, this is about tech support....not avatars....nothing personal, but to be honest, if avatars were banned totally, I wouldn't be crying....heck, mine apparently reminds people of some psycho....and lord alone knows what O_S is....although he gets the winner for the coolest one.
and Aca gets the winner for the one I am least likely to tick off.

That's Guts, from a very bloody anime called "Berserk". In the anime, Guts is a one man army....

Something in random maybe, we would have to have nominations first.

Valis, I do believe we are partaking in a thread hijack.

LOL, This will keep coming up from time to time. It hasn't changed yet so I figure it won't.

If it does change I'll post a bigger avatar just to keep up with the Jones' but I truly do hope it stays as is. Since I have no say in the matter I just take life as it is. If it were my site then I could say "hell no".

It isn't my site so I'll just say "I like it the way it is".

Valis, your avatar looks like Steve Buscemi to me. Is that the psycho everyone else sees?

I like Steve Buscemi by the way, I'll go watch a movie just because he is in it.
