Suggestion: Avatar update
I'll be honest with you, I'm on and off poster. Over the years I've been posting here, I've always felt the avatar on the forums is way too small, and well... pathetic compared to other forums. My suggestion would be to change to the pixel size and the gif. size.
I feel we could have much more interesting and creative avatars, that reflect our selfs and alternate selfs. Also it would bring some personality to the forums as well.
stuffing - concerned poster, flame on
Make them smaller I say!
if they were small, we wouldnt be able to see them...
I am not a man
Yes, because we would all like to use up more bandwidth and see even larger advertisements. I fully support this, Cid.
Sounds more like TITS issue, really, so one may be shot down in flames privately.
Honestly, I'm satisfied the way they are. Just a little personalized image, nothing more. They don't HAVE to be big, they just have to be something that when you see it, you automatically go "Oh, it's XYZ."
Many thanks Christmas!
Horniest Member, 2007! Gimme a little unf unf!
yes 60*60 is good at deviantart is 50*50 and it's terrible!
As long as you can see a clear picture, and know what it is, then it's all right with me
An 80 x 80 is fine too.
60x60 pixel size is a fundamental, unshakable, irrevocable part of the very essence and soul of Eyes on Final Fantasy.
What you need to do is wait for one of those forum staff go loco days—when the staff “go around” dishing out super sized avatars to online members. Once you’ve got yours, all you have to do is log out & never return. If you’re lucky, the staff will accidentally overlook you when reverting the avatars, and you’ll be one of the few members to have a 100 x 100 avatar to its name.
It would probably be some picture of a leather-clad Donald Duck, but hey, at least you’ll be Unique.
I was a big fan of large avatars a few years ago, but after getting used to EoFF I came to enjoy the neatness and uniformity of 60x60 avatars. When you have bigger ones, lots of people try to stick in complex animated gifs that are like half a meg and are really annoying, or you have some avatars that are 100x100 while others are only 70x70, and everything just looks like.
Gimmie Elixer!
*cough* I mean yeah 60x60 no problems here.

Exactly. It's also aestethically pleasing. The purpose of a forum is to post your thoughts, etc., not to show off pretty pictures (you can do that in the Art section though.Originally Posted by Dr Unne

Forums with larger avs/sigs tend to look quite garish, in my opinion, and EoFF will never be one of <i>those</i> type of sites.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
EoFF has the biggest sigs I've ever seen. (As far as forums with sig limits go.)
I want on this bandwagon, too.
