Larger Avatars?

If it really wouldn't be much trouble, I would be for it also. It would be nicer of course. =)

c_l is correct. It would take me longer to log into the admin control panel than it would to increase the avatar image size limit. However, Daryl is *also* correct--most members would keep their current 60x60 avatars, and all those different av sizes would give the board a really sloppy look.

60x60 is the *standard* for almost all fora on the web. ezBoard uses it. Bastardly uses it. Animeglobe uses it. I think even FFWA and FFO still use it, but I haven't visited the competition in a long time.

And I think that auto-stretching avatars to fill the same space *would* require modification of the board's .php files, *and* it would probably make all of the board's current 60x60 avatars look like crap. *I* for one, do not want to be the person who has to make all those avs look good at the new size.

Get members to make new avatars that look decent. Most non-staff members would kill to help out in the smallest way. Somehow makes them feel useful, or something. That's how we got all of our avatars (essentially) at Gamingforce. Not that anyone uses them anymore. -_-

FFWA uses the 60x60s, yes, but it's a dying forum. Or was when last I checked. I haven't been back for months. I was demodded for negligence of the forums. It doesn't really interest me any more. *shrugs* Besides, they'd been contending with server space issues forever, so the 60x60s were the way to go. They're very stuck in their ways.

FFO...no one cares about. I think. *shrugs again*

I'm not fussed. I like them the way they are, sure it distorts it a bit, but well, you cant have everything.

Chaos

FFO has always used 64x64 avatars, to my knowledge, though all of their avatars had 1 pixel black borders around the outside.
