Avatars & Signatures: Large dimensions and file sizes are not allowed because they can affect the layout of forum pages. The rules for posts apply to avatars/signatures as well.

    * Maximum avatar width: 150 pixels.



Guess there is no hight limit?

RE: Maxium Avatar size by ins4ne on 04-22-2006 at 03:43 AM

no high limit but a size limit of 17kb

RE: Maxium Avatar size by tony on 04-22-2006 at 03:47 AM

Correct.

However, your avatar will certainly be removed if a moderator decides that it's too high. :p

That applies to avatars uploaded to the board. Remote (hotlinked) avatars can be up to 100kb.

Why do you have to push it to the limit? I don't appreciate that... :p

No, there's not. Height isn't as much of a problem as width, because height can't mess up the page layout, it just causes some unnecessary vertical scrolling.

No, I think that's excessive. IMO, no avatar should be much higher than this image...

RE: Maxium Avatar size by tony on 04-22-2006 at 04:14 AM

so then it will be 197*205 maxium :)

thanks for the replys.

RE: Maxium Avatar size by ins4ne on 04-22-2006 at 04:15 AM

No, it will be about 200 pixels high. That image was not meant to demonstrate the maximum width, which is 150 pixels ;)
RE: Maxium Avatar size by user27089 on 04-22-2006 at 09:40 AM

To be fair, there should really be a maximum avatar size, something like 180x180... There's no need for an avatar that's bigger than that cause it just looks silly, and it messes up the layout of the page or whatever :-/

just my though :)

RE: Maxium Avatar size by Funness on 04-22-2006 at 09:52 AM

Yikes, 180*180.. most forums have their limit at 120*120 or so.

It probably wasnt directly related to file size, A good part of it was probably how long they took to load.

But dreamhost servers are fast :( Unless the mod was already downloading something i dont understand why this would happen

Not that it matters now but an answer would prevent any future problems :)
