Must say that I'm also against increasing the size of avatars. The current size is definitely adequate IMHO

Totally agree with what RCK perceived as possibly being an issue. Also Marco's post #172 couldn't have explained better how I personally see / feel an avatar's "purpose" is.

Exactly my thoughts on this subject also.

That 'veteran war dog' clip at the top of this page is the funniest thing I've ever seen on this board.

Must have that as an avatar

Excellent!!

just as a test, i thought i'd have a look at how the avatars from Bloodwych looked on 64x64 ... since it doesnt look that bad, i'm not that bothered by it being made larger.

also - i second Magno Boots' kudos to the animgif above. although i still think animated avatars and pointless here.

I am all for a bigger avatar size but never animated. A bigger size wont affect speeds much and a couple of extra kb shouldn't hurt rck's bandwidth too much.

I'm not for animated avatars, I think it would be too distracting. And I don't mind if size is increased.

OMG! The tables appear to be turning in favour of the larger avatars

btw. 96x96 that's all

+ I am also against animated avatars (just for teh record)

Hungry Horace · 31 July 2009, 14:46

i still think 80x80 should be quite sufficient

killergorilla · 31 July 2009, 15:09

Yeah, I think waiting for RCK will be great.

Shoonay · 31 July 2009, 15:11
