Why............

[Dreddz]

Are the Avatar Sizes so small
I know im not using them to there max, but I just wondered why they are small.
Most forums are 100 x 100 which is ideal to me.
They were 65 x 65
Then they shrunk to 60 x 60

Why do they need to be this small ?

[Hawkeye]

Because God created you that way

[Shoeberto]

Because they're avatars and really aren't that important.

[Strider]

So it doesn't look ugly and hideous and completely oversized and out of place and stuff like that.

[Meat Puppet]

so cl_out can have bigger avatars than you

[Dreddz]

yea, cl_out has a 100 x 100 avatar......

Edit : Can this site at least have one of those Image Scale down things.
So if the image is too big they will shrink it.
Cropping Images is tiresome......

[Psychotic]

no

[crono_logical]

I don't think EoFF has ever had 65x65 avatars :p

And mine's bigger because someone else changed my avatar and I was too lazy to find the original to fix it so just dug out the first avatarish picture I could find on my computer :p

EDIT: It's 90x90 anyway, not 100x100, so I think I must have used it on MSN at one point :p

[Dreddz]

I don't think EoFF has ever had 65x65 avatars
No, Im positive we had 65 x 65 avatars.

[Shoeberto]

I don't think EoFF has ever had 65x65 avatars
No, Im positive we had 65 x 65 avatars.
Nope, cl_out's right. It's always been 60x60.

[Yamaneko]

Fool's Gold would love to have you.

[Dreddz]

what !?!
Im certain that the site was 65 x 65....

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

60x60. Always.

[Leeza]

They have always been 60 x 60 and it is one way to have them all neat and uniform. If the limits were any larger, we would have some at 60 x 60, some at 70 x 70, some at 80 x 80, some at 100 x 100 and the place would be terribly messy.

You come here to post and not show off your avatar, don't you?

[crono_logical]

I know it's been 60x60, because there's been an argument before about why the avatars shouldn't be 64x64 or larger instead because another forum used them and someone wanted to use the same avatars, but 60x60 was too small to allow them to do that :p

[Dreddz]

then wth did I think there was a 65 x 65
OMFG there must of been 65 x 65 at some point
Im so sure on this........

[MecaKane]

You're going to have to trust the people who've been here longer than a year on this one.

[Dreddz]

Im just wondering why I thought that there was 65 x 65
I was so sure......

[Psychotic]

noYes. Although I cannot claim to have visited every single forum on the internet, you can rest assured that most of them will be terrible and filled with morons.

[Leeza]

The only time that they were bigger than 60 x 60 was when Dr Unne went nuts one day and gave everyone that logged in a new avatar.

in DNB arena, there is no limit on sigs ( but theres no avatars )
And that place has 60,0000 members
So saying that Avatars, sigs sizes matter is not true..........

[Leeza]

Well, then I guess they don't care how long it takes for their pages to load or if they have more sigs on their site compared to actual post sizes. Not that I know what site you're talking about, but when there is no limit to sigs, some of them can be quite huge.

[Shoeberto]

Not that I know what site you're talking about, but when there is no limit to sigs, some of them can be quite huge.
...not to mention annoying, obnoxious, and often times containing questionable material. I've been to sites without sig limits. It's pretty bad.

[Dreddz]

DNB isnt messed up

[Madonna]

I guess they don't care how long it takes for their pages to load or if they have more sigs on their site compared to actual post sizes.Just in case someone missed what was said in Leeza's post.

I like my large .gif (http://akusui.net/lynx_parasitic/_giftproject/tselu_auronsexysig.gif) sigs, but I'm not allowed them here. I deal.

[Dreddz]

lol, your sig is the best......

[boris no no]

they're not about to change it
so deal with it i guess ;p

[DocFrance]

I demand a 1000x1000 avatar limit!

[Dreddz]

Can we at least have a Image Scale on. PLEASE !!!!!!

[Cloud No.9]

i refuse to have an avatar or sig. make them tiny!!!

[Vyk]

Its better than AIM buddy icons :D

[MoonsEcho]

Large avatars and sigs are eyesores. Everything is fine the way it is.

[Faris]

I agree with MoonsEcho. When you see all sorts of sizes while looking at a thread. You start thinking that they're alive, or your eyes are playing a trick on you.

[Samuraid]

Why do they need to be this small ?

Simple. So something like this doesn't happen:
http://eyesonff.com/samuraid/hugeanimgif.png
Yes, that is a real animated GIF avatar on the dbz tribute forums.

[Agent Proto]

The way the forums are, having larger avatars would make the forums look messier. For the record, EoFF always used 60 x 60.

[nik0tine]

I demand a 1000x1000 avatar limit!

[Agent Proto]

60 x 60 avatars are more aesthetically appealing than larger avatar anyway.

[Polyonymous]

I agree that it is tough to get a good avatar to 60 x 60 (at least for me), but I do like it better this way.

[Sepho]

I'm pretty used to the 60x60 avatar size. I think anything considerably larger looks kind of tacky.

[rubah]

I for one wouldn't mind a larger avatar size, but after a while of watching, I have come to the realization that it is not going to happen.

<del>although I wish we could use lj icons ;_;</del>

[MecaKane]

Maybe we can have 50kb avatars with 5kb sigs! <_<

[Dr Unne]

I think the actual reason for this is that EZBoard only allowed 60x60.

[Meat Puppet]

Hey cool, proto used my title for him. :smash:

[Shlup]

I would not want to be a member of a 60,0000 member message board. Quantity != Quality

[Polyonymous]

Maybe we could make the filesize of the avatars a little bigger... maybe :-/

[theundeadhero]

I've become so accustomed to the EOFF style of avatars, sigs, and everything that anything else just looks bad to me. It's not hard at all to stay within the limits.

[Hawkeye]

its so fudrucking stoopid though!!1 :mad2:

Honestly, it doesnt bother me. If it were to increase, I might make my avatar bigger to fit since and snug into the limits, but it's fine for my tastes

[Jojee]

Lynxie: Oh my god. xD Your sig. *falls over*

And 60 x 60 avatars are big enough ^_^ although I go to forums that use 100 x 100 and it doesn't look terribly messy. I don't mind, either way.

[escobert]

Same here since It's pretty much the only forum I go to.

[Shlup]

I vote 40x40.

[Jojee]

K, your vote sucks. >=|

[theundeadhero]

If the picture you want is too big then open it in paint, go to Image~stretch/skew~and then decrease it in percentages instead of cropping. You don't loose any of your picture that way.

[Cz]

60x60 is traditional, and the golden rule of EoFF is to never break tradition, no matter how sensible (or stupid) the suggestion may be. Besides, it's not exactly hard to resize an image yourself. Even MS Paint can do it, for Chrissakes.

[Dreddz]

I demand the avatars to be 70 x 70 !

[Master Quan]

I vote 40x40.

[Old Manus]

FORUM WAR

[Meat Puppet]

Rumour has it that having boobies in your avatar is the secret cheat to unlocking 70 x 70 avatars. cl_out will back me up on this. :excited:

[Hawkeye]

What kind of boobies???11 :excited:

[Psychotic]

Blue footed boobies, duh. :excited:

Doubtless many think the same of EoFF, remember Something Awful?

[RSL]

Have you ever been to something awful? They have plenty of idiots themselves.

[Destai]

[Master Quan]

Exactly.

[Psychotic]

EoFF has morons, every forum does, but we're not filled with them.

[-N-]

Just don't go south of the border and you're fine. Or north of the border, for that matter. In fact, just to be safe, you'd better just stick around in the General Archive.

[fire_of_avalon]

I think the avatars should be 60 x 60. *deadpan for no reason*

[Hawkeye]

The majority of morons on these forums are named Psychotic anyways :rolleyes2

[Psychotic]

As much as I try to fill the forums, I don't think I have yet succeeded.

[Hawkeye]

Keep trying, fido. Psy_is_great are awesome starts

[Psychotic]

That account has nothing to do with me. It's Meat Puppet. I can't get him to stop it. Sometimes he leaves me little surprises on my pillow. Help. :(

What are you talking. Mexico is the best place ever.

[ZeZipster]

What sense would 65 x 65 make? 60 x 60 is AIM's size. 100 x 100 is MSN's size. Those are the only reasonable sizes to be used. I think 60 x 60 is perfectly reasonable. However, I'm not too fond of the 6 kb limit that limit seems to come out of no where. I doubt that'll ever be changed though.

I like MecaKane's idea. I could so easily resize my sig to 60 x 60. =D

[rubah]

Actually msn's size is 98x98.

[Meat Puppet]

APE RAPE

[Sephex]

I like the smaller avitars. No reason why, though.

[Loony BoB]

Can you let me have a bigger avatar?
No. Use a smaller resolution on your screen and the pictures will appear to be bigger.

*makes fun of you (http://eyesonff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38129)*

[Reine]

Yes keep them at 60x60, but Image Scale would definetly be helpful. I spent an hour trying to get the dimensions just right (60x61) and get the right picture, and no, the stretch skew on Paint squashs and warps the picture, and the end result is terible. Ive tried this. Image Scale is great most of the time, but it's NEVER going to happen.

If you want to resize your picture, just download a small, simple program called IrfanView. It takes up minimal space and memory and does the job effectively. You should be able to find the download site for it using a quick web search for 'IrfanView'.

xDDD You legend.

[Resha]

My HERO! <3 Both of you. xD

[Crystal Tears]

Smaller avatars look quite cute, but sometimes to get one with what you want in you have to cram it in, so it can look a bit messy and illegible. It would probably easier for people to have nicer images if the 6K was change to maybe 10K? I have a feeling that it's for the poor people who are still on dial up so their computers don't explode with too much information.

~*Crystal

[Mirage]

ACTUALLY MSN IS 96X96
LOL

[Ashley Schovitz]

How am I supposed to get mine? It's the greatest in the world but I can't put it in and it's barely over someone told me to resize it but how do I do it, the avy I want you can find at avy service thread.

[Leeza]

Avvy thread.

http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=43913

Right next to the siggy thread.

[Fuzakeru]

Sometimes its a pain in the arse to find a good avy but just think of it as an oppurtunity to be creative. EoFF is only trying to excercise your intelligence and make your bones strong. :spin:

[Max]

This isnt fool's gold people...

[DocFrance]

I know the perfect solution to the problem. Anyone who complains about not being able to have bigger avatars should be forced to have a 10 by 400 avatar. Technically, that <i>is</i> bigger than 60 by 60.

[Shlup]

But then we'd have to look at them. Then entire point is uniformity, duuuuh.

I say we build a wall. And whoever complains about something stupid gets their username on it. And then once a week we make a thread to make fun of them for being stupid.
