Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
I think it'd be nice to get a bump up to 100X100. The 100X100 version is a little taller if the padding around the image is kept the same.

I rather like the strict avatar rules here, but to each his/her own.

Well, if the size limit was changed, the strict avatar rules would be the same but with different numbers.bkev wrote:I rather like the strict avatar rules here, but to each his/her own.
Maybe I'm just too elitist these days with my new laptop and "broad band" internet so I can't fully imagine peoples displays or internet connections being chocked by this, but changing the limit to 120x120 wouldn't exactly piss me off.

If you ask me, 120x120 is kind of fucking, enormous.
80x80
120x120
That is more than double the size of the current avatars.
100x100
This seems more reasonable, to me, if there is to be a change.

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
To be honest, part of the original 80x80 requirement was to see if people actually took the time to read... or at least skim... the forum rules. When someone registered with a gigantic avatar and images in their signature, it was pretty easy to tell what kind of a community member they'd be.
Nothing has significantly changed about the Internet since we put in the avatar size rule, so I don't particularly see a reason/need to change it.

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
Avatars may be a nice part of a forum, and I believe that the 80x80 rule is perfect.
After all, a forum is text based and what you do should matter in what you write, not how awesome your avatar is.
Making them larger would distract from the actual topic.

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
I wasn't counting total pixels, I was counting height/width only. 20 down + 20 across = 40.The Time Traveller wrote:20 x 20 ≠ 40, it would be 400 extra pixels.Xyex wrote:You know, with pretty much everyone on resolutions of 1024x768 or higher these days (even me!) 80x80 pixel avatars are kind of... small. 100x100 would, I think, be better. It's not a huge difference, wouldn't take up any more space (the side bars are already wider than that), but those extra 40 pixels would make things not look quite so small on larger resolutions.
The internet may not have changed, but the technology we look at it with certainly has. 100x100 would serve the same function.VegettoEX wrote:To be honest, part of the original 80x80 requirement was to see if people actually took the time to read... or at least skim... the forum rules.

It really wouldn't. No more than an animated avatar would. You might notice they look a little bigger for a while, but then you'd get used to it and they'd be as easily skimmed by as they are now. Just nicer when you do look.Godo wrote:Making them larger would distract from the actual topic.

I should have added that I don't like animated avatars either. You may not be distracted, fair enough, but I get distracted.Xyex wrote:It really wouldn't. No more than an animated avatar would.

I wouldn't give a less damn about what motive users have on their avatars, so I don't care that people would like to show a bit more of Goku's shirt in their avatar from that picture with SSJ Goku.

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
Ok, I admit it.
I have no idea how to get my avatar posted next my name.
I never had a problem on other sites, as I just copied and pasted the image I wanted.
This site requests a URL and I have no idea what the hell that means. (I mean, I KNOW it's an address of sorts but when I click on the image I want, I'm not finding that info.)
Little help?

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
You just need to post the address of the image in the text box for it. If you're using Firefox just right click and select "Copy image location" from the box that comes up, then paste that in to the Avatar box. If you're on IE or something you need to go to properties and highlight and copy the URL given. If you've already got a direct link to it, then just copy and paste that.
Example: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/_Xyex_/Animated/HvB.gif
That would be mine.
I suppose I should also note that the image has to be online already. Daizex doesn't support uploading images to use, you have to link to them off site.

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
Adding to that, you should probably make sure the image is on a personal photobucket account. Websites don't usually appreciate you directly linking to their images and using their bandwidth, and they may even block it altogether. Plus they could move/rename the image so your icon no longer displays. Much better to upload it to your own image account, so you have full control over everything.Xyex wrote:I suppose I should also note that the image has to be online already.

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
Sorry about that, I guess an option for the forum is to have animated avatars viewed as a still picture. But that might be a feature that could be a pain to program for the site. Is the slight movements in Piccolo's face a bother to you, or is it the huge movement/flashy avatars that distract you from the post material?Godo wrote:I should have added that I don't like animated avatars either.

I use to visit another forum where many people use flashy ones and it's distracting. On this forum I have maybe encountered a few only.
Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
Since we can't necro a sticky. What defines "grossly-offensive imagery"?
Basically I'm wondering if animated death is acceptable? I assume it is since they have that in DB but just want to make sure. So can we have somebody bursting in to flames or getting a whole punched through them?
Is something like this ok? (if sized properly) Its from that thread in the fanmade section talking about the fan game characters in Mugen by Balthazar. Its how I've always imagined Vegeta and Goku's final battle

If you resized it, it would be fine.. but then again, I am not the webmaster. Violence does not faze me, so I can't really have an opinion on that.

Re: Avatar Size (80x80) Reminder
I'm pretty sure that "grossly-offensive imagery" would include, at least when it comes to violence in particular, things like super-realistic depictions of gore and face-melting and stuff like that you'd see in horror movies.
So a gif of a cartoon character humorously catching on fire then instantly turning into a cartoon skeleton is just fine, I'd imagine.

Probably Kunzait... he had plenty of horror avatars.I remember one user had zombie pictures of peoples faces rotting away. He never got called on it as I recall.
PS: that was probably two years ago.
But it was all fake movie violence... so it's not nearly as disturbing as if it was something more realistic.

So, I could upload a horror pic from a film and it would be okay then?
