Since we all have been bite in the ass by avatar setting restrictions (80x80 pix. and size) i suggest to add support for bigger avatars - such as 120x120 max and allow animated GIF with size, for example <=100 kb.

Let`s make it more fun

why not ? I'll do it when I have time (I am very busy at the moment since it's last week before holidays there are lots of activities ... )

No reason why that 100kb gif couldnt be 20kb apng.

30kb 100x100 no more.

Because gif should be converted in apng, but till now i didn`t see a singe apng in the net. There are plenty gif avatars around, so why should we set 30 kb size as max? I wanted to ask about more variable avatars, but 120x120 with size 100kb is minimum that should be supported.

There is a simple reason why there is no apng on forums ... IE doesn't support it, it understands only gif as animated pictures. All modern browsers should support mng (animated png) but IE doesn't as usual

apng is backwards compatible with normal png decoders, and fully supported in fire fox 3 and Opera 9.5

Well, I`m using Avant Browser or sometimes Maxton. They are both based on IE, so apng won`t work for me ither.

Why`s that?

Aside from Internet explorer, you chose internet explorer stuck inside a skin, its like AOL, its a perversion!

try out firefox!! it has a very large plugin/extension base (ad blockers, network optimizers, ...), it reads almost all standards and is updated regularly.

In some countries it's more used than IE !!

I`ve tryed Opera, Firefox, Netscape, Maxton, Avant, IE and some others. Currently my favourite is Avant - fast, stable, functional. Why should I use something I don`t like?

Firefox have huge problems with many pages, filled with tables, fields for password enter and such - all looks kinda ugly for me. There some services, that I couldn`t use only because it is Firefox.

No guys, I`m not ready yet to use Firefox because it..it..it..just Firefox. Avant have all i need, and most of my friends, who ever tryed Avant - now using it.

I didn't say "use it" but "try it", there are lots of different browsers everywhere my favorites are Firefox and Konqueror (KDE's browser, Apple's Safari browser uses code from it) which is the first browser to have passed all the newest standards tests

Anyway, I`ll try some new browsers after NY

I like to change soft sometimes.

Balthazar · Post by **Balthazar** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 6:20 pm

Are new avatar sizes available?

AF · Post by AF » Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:04 pm

see for yourself =p

Balthazar · Post by **Balthazar** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 9:08 pm

Damn. Why size is so small??? We don`t have 5 MB for avatar pictuers???

AF · Post by AF » Sat Dec 29, 2007 12:35 am

A clean forum is a happy forum. I do not like having forums filled with large animated monstrosities. I did change the settings however and they're fine for what's needed

Balthazar · Post by **Balthazar** » Sat Dec 29, 2007 6:58 am

AF - a boring forum is happy forum?

I can`t use animated avatar because the size limitations. Even from these - noone can be used here

And if people would like to spam forum they could post direct links for something like this.

Don`t see any reasons why size of avatars can`t be more than 24 kb :-/

The jumping cat is acceptable, the rest are both too large and too much, nevermind their filesizes.

Balthazar · Post by **Balthazar** » Sat Dec 29, 2007 11:57 am

Very well, but jumping cat have size of 34 Kb with limit of 24. Limit could be at least 40 kb.

Post by **zuzuf** » Sat Dec 29, 2007 12:12 pm

yeah, 24kb isn't enough.

The jumping cat is nice, but other aren't very correct ... a bit crual for cats
