Can we possibly have larger/longer avatars, maybe 150 x 300 or something, as it would make the forum look a little nicer tbh it would just be nice and also 150 x 160 is an odd shape...

As well as that, can we maybe have larger avatar sizes, because 122kb is nothing and my avatar ends up always being blurry, it's really annoying

please ty

Yes plz I'm bored of ugly square avi's, I think the length limit should atleast be increased.

150x300 would look ridiculous and tacky, I think 150x160 is perfectly fine, I've seen lots of forums that only have 80x80. :joker:

Ridiculous height all together.

no it would be more like this, hold on

Jessica.

Also if the file size limit was increased there would be an influx of ridiculously crass gifs that people use. :umm2:

I know it wouldn't be stretched, I was just trying to see what the height would look like.

I think it would increase the data storage and bandwidth needed considerably.

something like these would be good (maybe not as big), but the general proportion of the images

ya'll cannot disagree with avatars as blurry as that!

Also, if it's the proportions that don't look good, it doesn't have to be 150x160, you can make your avi thinner.

Calderyon
13-01-2016, 05:17 PM
Behindbb has 200x200 sized avatars as a maximum. Would that be enough?

Only for over 30s

under 20s should not be able to have avatars

i was expecting this to be a complaint about how obnoxiously big some people's are, but you are actually saying people should have bigger?

No. please no.

and while we are on the subject can we please have some limitations on the amount of text people have in their sigs and get rid of the gifs, and get rid of the "spoiler" cheats.

seriously people i've had the same avas and sigs for over 5 years... you don't need all this ****, and stop advertising your pet project threads in your sigs.

i really think we need a new rule, no more animated gifs in sigs. the gifs are just obnoxious.

(except for jessica, because that's a damn cute little hippo, and i love it)

I disagree with all of these suggestions, because they affect me. (And I dislike hippo's.)

You can turn avatars and sigs off if you don't like them

Don't really think we need bigger avatars, we are already quite generous with the size compared to lots of other forums plus making them bigger either way (length or width) would stretch the post boxes and make the forum look hideous.

Jay you will have to wait until all the individual apps have caught up with retina display

Or you can try temporary fixes like this

aw okay :(

is there anyway we could make the file sizes a tiny bit bigger?

Samm
22-03-2016, 02:33 PM
can we PLEASE change the frame size at least till 10 at least!

Dominic
22-03-2016, 02:36 PM

The frame size and the file size are different things, I had an 12 frame avi which worked on here. You can try optimizing the gif instead

You can make them round yourself via certain picture editing sites. :spin:

The frame amount doesn't matter it's the total size of the file.

If yours is too big then you need to start optimizing your .gifs for a smaller file size.
