100x100 Avatars?

[andargor]

I've noticed some people with 100x100 avatars. "Some People" were "Registered Users", so I was thinking, as a Community Supporter can I get one too?

I have no problem with the 4.9 Kb limit, I can optimize.

The bigger ones are just the preloaded ones, AFAIK.

Ah, I verified, and it's the case.

But then again, I'd still like a larger avatar. Size does matter.

Only if you're Godzilla..... or Yoda.

And mine's a pre-loaded one. Couldn't get one that would fit in the requisite file size...... :\

As far as I know, there's only one other person who uses the same avatar.... Dunno why.... I think it's cool and reminds me of my favorite character who worshiped that same deity.....

What are you testing?

If his avatar is displayed, maybe.

If it's size, and not dimension that's important, could you have an avatar of just an exceedingly huge white square? I mean, dimension-wise you could make it like 600x800, but it might only be about 10k in size.

Who knows, it might make you popular with the ladies. Or hated by everyone here, one or the other.

A lot of those preloaded ones were clipped by yours truly, and I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to the sizes to be honest. I personally like a larger avatar. I don't know what kind of strain, if any, they might put on the server or the average person trying to load up a page.

Well, you have to put a maximum size, otherwise it screws up the thread layout for everyone. Right now, 100x100 fits nicely, and perhaps larger would be possible.

What puts strain on bandwidth and the user experience is the file size ("weight") of the image. If it remains at 4.9K, there is no additional impact.
