Question Since we pay for our avatars

Can we get 100x100? Or possibly a slightly larger file size?


Everytime I try to take a picture to use, I end up not being able to use it unless I turn the quality way down, or filter out the quality in Infranview. And then, your avatar looks like a fuzzy blob and you can't use it.

Re: Since we pay for our avatars

I've never ever had significantly better results using PS for CZ28.com avatars than Irfan view... irfan is badass for the simple stuff IMO.

While I understand that a 100x100 av takes almost twice the file size and squared space on the board that a 75x75 av does, I've had quite a few avs that I loved that simply were NOT legible at 75x75 but were easily at 100x100, I think that could make a very big difference assuming it wouldn't make a very significant impact on the hosting bills.

Especially with the fact that supporting membership has something like doubled or tripledm, silently, in price from its initial price to its current price, I figure there could be a benefit increase in there somewhere as well.

Re: Since we pay for our avatars

I know I'd like to see 100x100. That would be cool. My supporting member status is coming due for renewal soon I think, there should be a 100x100 package or something. 75x75 could be a budget package.

Re: Since we pay for our avatars

Yeah I'd like 100x100 also. Another board I admin at has avatars at 100x100.

And I tried a thousand pictures in Irfanview for my avatar, and I couldn't get any that came out small enough and legible enough to use. I had to ask someone on the board to do it for me with some other program.

+1 for 100x100.

Hell, I'll even take 1,000x1,000.

But the 1,000x1,000 suggestion wasn't noted? Man, this biased site sucks.

Let's wait until the average computer screen is running a native res of at least ~12000x6750 before we consider something like that.

I hope that I don't even run this site by the time that happens. I think I will be old or dead by then.
