    I agree that there is already variation; I also don't have the full 60x60 pixels filled. Increasing the height and width limits would increase the variation, though. As for your other point, the postbit would change for members with postbit locations set to above post.
    Ah. I must admit that I forgot about that. I'm still using the old style of having the postbit set to the side of the posts. Having said that, I mainly brought that point in there for it to be considered.

    Also, it wasn't arguing. It was constructive debate

    What's wrong with having a lot of variation anyways? What are you some sort of communist or nazi or something?

    Maybe we should just get rid of above the post postbit because they're so much more inferior than the true postbit location.

    Variation, historically, has been the reason against having it changed. This isn't the first time this has been proposed and I actually feel we're the closest now to having it changed more than ever.

    You're right, Rubah Lapah, it seems that having postbit locations set to above post is the minority. I don't see why, though. It looks tacky.

    Give us some time to mull this over. If you have any more ideas, keep them coming.

    I think the majority of people prefer to have the postbit location to the side of the post rather than on top because it makes it easier to see where a new post begin. Having it on top can be confusing if you're scrolling quickly because the info risks getting lost in the text.

    I don't really care what size they are as long as we make some kind of law where it's illegal to carry an avatar depicturing a character of different gender from the member carrying it.

    No, I don't want to enter your profile and check your gender field.
