I'm just wondering your allowing rather nice sized avatars now.

I'm just wondering if the stance on sig images is still a huge *NO* as there happens to be a sig image i absolutely love using, and use everywhere else but here.

(you guys don't allow remote linking either i notice)

I still doubt that you'd allow it, or bend the rules for one person, I figured it would be worth asking though.

Still a monsterously huge 'no', sorry

lol...monstrously huge sig image.... I'll second Ty on this one.

I have to say I don't like the bigger size avatars. They distract me and take up too much space on the left-hand size.

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #4 on:** June 09, 2004, 12:48:34 AM »

Well, it's space that's not really taken by anything else. Want to put it to a vote?

Yes. =p I don't like bigger avatars either.

I like big hentai chick avatars. They fill what's otherwise empty space, according to how visual forum space seems to be divided.

I love you dudes for the new bigger avatar thing.
Now I won't have to crop images down till they could fit in a Micro Machines car and speed away into the distance while cowboys roll around. Yay! =D

It rocks! I vote YES!

I prefer the smaller avatars, too, at the moment, but it probably just needs some getting used to.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #10 on:** June 09, 2004, 08:54:55 AM »

I assume the file size limit for these avatars is the same correct?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #11 on:** June 09, 2004, 09:34:47 AM »

Ian: Yeah, it's still 20 kb.

I figure that although I don't like the new size avatars, I hate being the odd guy out. >_>

All that proves is that you are a follower, not a leader...

I told Ty it was cool as long as they don't stretch the forum's table cells, and he did some tests and found how big that could be.

I think this needs to be polled as well.

I just feel they're too wide now, to the point where its distracting. Maybe a more narrow size, say 80 x 120 (as in 120 down). Poll away!

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2004, 11:21:19 PM »

Also, 100 x 100 is a common size on other forums (SA goon goons please goon goon) and also Livejournal. LJ lets you host 3 icons, too, more if you pay. How conveeeeeeenient.

You're too straight for your own good! *shakes fist*

I like bigger avatars, but I wouldn't want to have to see one that huge on my computer screen, Syl.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #20 on:** June 10, 2004, 09:08:42 PM »

hey you guys, at the anime forums i go to, they don't allow big sigs, but they do allow sigs nonetheless.
Here's the one I use there.

It's smaller than Syl's one, so how bout it?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #21 on:** June 10, 2004, 09:55:08 PM »

PGC doesn't allow pics because of the abuse potential. I mean, look at their avatar rules. Sig pics are probably impossible without allowing normal pics as well and pretty much any pic would violate the rules.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #22 on:** June 10, 2004, 10:19:35 PM »

what abuse potential?
Bar the fact that you can't directly link pics to posts, I doubt people would be that irresponsible CONSIDERING the rules in the first place.
And you KNOW how swiftly rule-breaking avatars are dealt with anyway, so why NOT give sigs a chance?

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #23 on:** June 11, 2004, 12:04:09 AM »

I don't think the forum is even coded to do it

Ahh ok.
Well isn't it about time for an update to the forums then?
