I was wondering why avatar sizes are very small in the P2L Forums and not the proper 96x96 sized avatars. The max size here is to small to see proper avatar images and all that.

I was wondering why the avatar sizes were not 96x96? And if you could allow us to have 96x96 sized avatars?

I believe mainly to shorten loading times.
I mean, 96 x 96 is pretty big for an avatar.

Who set that standard?

I think the avatars are just fine personally, design them to fit the space and they'll look perfect. If we increase the size, I think it would throw off the clean look of the design

Mostly alot of other forums that I am a member of, have been a member of and have browse. Also having them at that size gives you a bit more space to create something.

It could just be me, but 64x64 just seems weird to me. Maybe it looks fine and all to you guys?

Ive been using 64x64 avatars for a long time now.....ive always hated it when people go online, find some big 300x300 picture they like and slap it in as a screenshot, having everyone with the same sized avatars makes the forums look even, easier to read, and more professional

sigs? lol avatars right? but yes i think these sizes are fine, 96x96 does look a bit too large

My forums I use to put 50x50.
Seems perfect size to me.
I dont care about size now, its fine.

I dont know what your talking about

Also for sites like this which have a fixied width its best to have smaller images so the tables dont get messed up.

96x96 is not a standard size.

Would you prefer we had larger avatars and smaller sig banners say 88x31

They will remain at 64x64 unless Faken changes & I cannot see that happening as majority are happy the way they are.

Most of the forums i see use the 64x64, i think its set as standard size of the phpBB froums but please correct me if im wrong

[Phisix]

I guess we all used to one avatar size on other forums and all. No worrys anyway, I will have to create a 64x64 sized avatar sometime.

[pr0jekt]

at least its not 40x40 like www.lpunderground.com

[alexames]

I think they are fine as they are.

That's quite a good idea
It'll save me a hell of a lot of time...

i would be for it. i dont really like big sigs. but then again i like seeing the pics instead of just strait text.

[pr0jekt]

avatar sizes are fine as they are

if a sig is too big it makes the page take too long to load, i dont care what a sig has in it, i care what the thread is about.
