what do you think the ideal avatar size should be?

I say we double the current size.
 
100*100 is usually the size that I use, because its easier to see, but 50*50 is good.


Heheheh, 500*500 would crash the internets.
 
Hmm, it's been 50x50 for years so I don't think the admins have any plans to change it.
 
This poll is wrong.
There is only one avatar size - 50x50.
You will live with this.
 
50x50 is too small. I don't like it and it doesn't like me.
 
Last thing anyone needs are people boosting their ego's with giant flashing banners.

mr moo row speaks sense!
 
Double the current size at the most.

I have to cut down a red alert 2 icon because 50x50 is too small.
Maybe some halfway point like 75x75?

Anyway I know a better place where the avatars are just begging to be larger! *wink wink nudge*

Yeah, making them wider wouldn't alter the page layout. A height of 50 is enough but we could use some more width. Ask any woman... thickness is what's important. :E
 
I think 50x100 or 150 avatars would be excellent. Still small and simple, not much of a bandwidth increase, and enough space for actual text. Make a 40kb limit and then let us express ourselves a bit more :p
 
Keep it 50x50. 100x100+ is for those lamer boards with the user info down the left side where it won't fark up the layout so much.
 
In practice, this is what a 100*100 avatar looks like and I can safely say that it's not going to happen any time soon.

It looks hideous. "Widescreen" avatars like 100*50 generally look crap as well.

Let's see...

Slightly more acceptable, I guess.

100*100 definitely isn't going to happen though.
 
60x60, maybe 70x70 at most. Anything larger just makes the forum look like shit.
 
64x64

It's only a bit bigger, and it is a 2 to the nth number, which is good. A nice standard number.
 
Yeah, but it's only a bit bigger, so there's nop oint.
 
Ill have 100x100 or 200x200


But 500x500 (or over) it will take VERY long to load the page

Or internet might crash :p
 
If there were a tool for automatically shrinking the avatar I wouldn't complain :D

Not even if we give you money?

kthxbye
 
I'm quite suprised that your bank account name is your e-mail address. I bet the bank worker gave you a funny look.
 
The only problem I had with my avatar was the size, you'd be surprised how much of the original gif I had to cut down.
 
let's have 200x200 avatars and image sigs!!!




or not.
