The downside of the new huge avatar is that I may want to consider a new photo. :lol:

..and that now simple one line posts take up a ton of space and requiring much more scrolling to read less postings.

You know.. I dunno if this avatar size change is so great after all..


Hm.


You think maybe we should wait a week or so and then put it up for a board vote whether or not to keep it?

First pic I've had a chance to work with since return to defaultia.

Not so sure I like the "little guy" quite so large. Anyway, I'll work on smoothing him out a bit when I have more time.

Change was made yesterday afternoon (link to the announcement at the bottom of my signature, as well as in my original post), after a bit of testing different sizes. That size seemed to hit the 'sweet spot' (200x200 fit within the template, but was definitely too big). On one-line replies, yeah it adds a bit more vertical space (70 pixels to be precise), but none at all once you get to a few lines in length. You are, of course, free to upload a picture that's smaller than 150x150 if you prefer (a smaller square, or you could go 150 wide and 80 vertical and be all letterbox-style if you wanted).
