Stefan have definitely read this thread. So if he hold that bigger avatars are okay, he will change it.
It's not a big deal to increase it to 100x100 px but we will see if something happens.

The thing is, just because I'm requesting that the size is increased to the general 100x100 dimensions that most forums use, this does not mean that every single person on the forum is going to use up the whole 100x100 space. All this does is give us more freedom in what we can have as our avatar, because 70x70 can limit you a lot and simply resizing images looks crappy a lot of the time.

Of course they are, as soon as they get around to getting a new avatar. People do not come up with a concept for an avatar that takes a specific amount of space, they scale it down in any case and with your proposed change they will just scale it down less.

100x100 limits you about as much and you are probably still going to need to resize images.

On every other forum I visit the members don't all have maxed-out avatars, why would these?

Not quite.

But it is quite misleading to claim that changing the size limit by a couple thousand pixels will allow people to throw off the shackles of resizing images.

I guess we visit different styles of communities then! Just checked SA though, and everything seems bigger on there in general

You're right, I should have said "simply resizing 100x100 avatars looks crappy a lot of the time." I figured this would have been the counter argument/suggestion. The increase would reduce limitations though.

My stance on it is, I see nothing wrong with the way it is. Every avatar I have seen looks just fine and is plenty large enough to see, and make out what it is.
It does not matter to me one way or the other if it is done. Apparently it is something Stefan does not wish to do right now, if at all. I am sure he has seen this thread, or one of the ones like this before.

That's probably because most of us don't like resizing. So we adapt to the whole thing and choose smaller avatars instead.

I do not like resizing either, but if everybody else uses 100x100 avatars, I am going to have to resize my avatar too or it will be the smallest

What looks better?


Remember my Deadpool avatar? Probably not cause you couldn't tell what it was. Also want animated avatars.
