Bigger Avatars Please.

[tracertong]

What's with the tiny avatar's ? If we were mice I could understand but you need a magnifying glass to see them properly.

Who's with me ?

 

[Áļéאָ]

yeah I agree with that. Lets allow at least 80x80.
I cant even find another forum with such ridiculously small avs.

 

[ShearerM4]

I guess it's a tradition that dates back to the late 90s ()... when bigger images was more of a big deal.

But it's true SG has one of the smallest allowances... I don't really mind personally.

Over my cold dead body.

Over my cold dead body.

Nothing like a well reasoned balanced opinion.

 

[Ubik Valis]

Nothing like a well reasoned balanced opinion.

I don't think Tom was in a state of negotiation with you.

 

[tracertong]

I don't think Tom was in a state of negotiation with you.

I think Tom is big enough to speak for himself.

 

[Zlatan]

Agreed.
And while your at it why not allow animated avatars again? It used to be allowed and now I'm stuck with this Kev Kilbane avatar for months already because of that.

 

[Tom]

Nah Dragan's right, it's not up for negotiation. It's a **** idea, all it would help to do is make the forum look like a home for 14 year old emos.

 

[Mandieta6]

I thought that was you Zlatan, or at least someone of your race... kinda disappointed.

I don't mind the avatar size, though, they alloow the thread to look cleaner, but maybe allowing to enlarge them slightly would be nice.

 

[Áļéאָ]

Im not changing my opinion anyway. They should be at least 80x80.
that might actually be a good way of reducing the use of sigs too.

 

[Tom]

Sigs are used fine as it is, some forums have massive sigs and avatars, and it looks like myspace or bebo, utter ****e.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

[Áļéאָ]

but thats the thing it is broken. The avatar part

 

[Tom]

Looks fine to me. Your cat avatar is flashing in beautiful fashion

 

[Áļéאָ]

After a lot of resizing and photoshoping to actually make it visible

 

[Tom]

Yeah and now it's fine, if anything, it just means its harder to get a moving avatar - alienating some of the ****tier members having tosh ones.

See, it all makes sense.

 

[Áļéאָ]

no it dont. Its not the moving part, its the small blury picture part, so we cant have semi-decent avs

 

[Tom]

semi-decent avs? Or avatars you associate with people talking about why their life is so bad, and why Panic! at the disco are the best band ever?

Hmm.

 

[theo]

oh come on, there aren't that many emos on SG

 

[Tom]

Aye, cos they see the 50X50 limit and run a mile, it's a good system
