Worst thing is zumper, bigsoccers lil free cousin, has this for avatars 150 by 150 pixels or 64.0 and 400 by 400 pixels or 256.0 KB for profile pics. We pay up in here
*sigh* Still nothing done about this. I can't help but think that if certain people had complained about this, like they did about other things that were changed during the upgrade, that it would have been sorted out long ago. But alas I am left talking to myself.
As one with an occasional strongly-stated gripe, I feel I should back you when I think you have a point. I don't think the avatar size issue is a big deal. Seriously, how big do the damn things need to be? I love having one, but why does it have to be the size of a billboard?
I agree completely. Are we here to look at folks avatars - or engage in discussion about soccer. I feel the same way about signatures. If you make one post every month, then who cares how long it is - but most of the regulars often have multiple posts per thread. I don't see the need to wear out a scroll wheel because someone wants to put their life story in each and every freakin' post.
You might want to change this then... Would you like to buy a clue? I'm not talking about pixel of the avatars. I'm talking about the allowed file size which has been lowered since the "upgrade" Once again certain members of this site think that just because they don't care about the issue should just be dropped. Just because you don't think avatar size isn't important doesn't mean that other people don't think it is. I like the old avatar size. I liked the fact I could use avatars I liked. Now I can't and this issue will be swept under the carpet because certain people don't think it's a problem.
Okay now i get the avatar for Huss. Its the picture of a guy who is frustrated just like HUSS. Perfect!!!!!!!
I don't see what the problem is about put the size limit back to what it was for many months. We aren't asking for anything more, just what we had before. I don't see how putting it back to the pre upgrade size can cause any problems, unless because you've seen it fit to give the people who don't actually pay one penny to this site an avatar and sig that your trying to save server space. Please just give me a good reason why you've decided to change this.
I know Toon uses animated gifs as his avatar more often than not. That might have something to do with his complaining, and rightfully so IMO. Not a lot of people use gifs so this wouldn't certainly be a slow down on the server or whatever The avatar pixel size isn't being increased, just the file size.
Why? What's so important that you need to share with each and every post you make? Seriously, you've got a profile - put it in there. Or put on your website/myspace/facebook and put a link in your 3 line sig. What's so important about "signatures" that you need a bigger one?
Actually, you're the one that needs to lighten up. You're the one all uptight about not having a huge avatar and booklength sig. Just relax and post about soccer.
*sigh* Yet, it's not about having a huge avatar The avatar size is not being asked to be increased. It's about having a decent file size in order to be able to use a gif.
Neg rep needs comment now. (I felt obliged to neg rep a troll who opened an account just to post a moronic thread.)
