Title: Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: Syl on June 08, 2004, 08:53:48 PM
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.
Title: RE:Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: S-U-P-E-R 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

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

I assume the file size limit for these avatars is the same correct?
Title: RE: Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: KnowsNothing 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. >_>

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!
Title: RE:Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: S-U-P-E-R 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.

I like bigger avatars, but I wouldn't want to have to see one that huge on my computer screen, Syl.
Title: RE:Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: Termin8Anakin 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?
Title: RE: Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: KDR_11k 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.
Title: RE: Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: Termin8Anakin 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?
Title: RE:Bigger avatars, nifty... but...

I'm for it!

Seriously, I find animated gifs to be even more annoying now.  They weren't bad at all at 64x64, but 100x100 just annoys the heck out of me.  Now I really don't read member's post who have an animated gif (sorry to these who do) and scroll to the top or bottom of the screen so I won't see it.  Is it possible to ban on animated gifs?

I know I'm risking making myself the most hated forum poster!

I like it, but it annoys me when I read your post and others' post before and after that are visible on the screen.



EDIT: I looked into turning off animated gifs in my browser, but I can't find it.  I'm using FireFox v0.8.  Anyone know how?
Title: RE:Bigger avatars, nifty... but...
Post by: mouse_clicker on June 11, 2004, 04:52:53 PM
I believe you can turn off animated GIFs on your browser, AiAi.  I know you can on Opera and IE, at least, not sure about Firefox.

I guess i'm just far too used to other forums.

My sig image is actually tiny compared to the stuff i see all over those things.


Suppose i should try to get an avatar sometime....
...nah.

Post by: Infernal Monkey on June 12, 2004, 04:35:30 AM
I don't read any posts on this forum. I don't even read the topic because I'm not fond of the font. I just dive in, Olympics style.

I agree with you AiAi. It does get very annoying. I don't ignore their posts, though. It doesn't bother me that much.

It should not contain any offensive graphics or needless animation, and you agree to remove or change your avatar if requested by a moderator.


Whether the animation in an avatar is needless or not is subjective and therefor up to the administrators. Since none of the administrators have asked anyone to remove the animation from their avatars I'm assuming none of them were deemed needless.

Post by: Pale on June 12, 2004, 08:32:56 PM
I think they should just change the avatar rules to one line saying....

Your avatar may NOT be a pain in the ass.

Then just leave it all up to subjectivity.... (is that a word?)  =P

The song can be annoying if you don't want music blasting or have to mute the sound, but I think it's pretty cool, especially with two king admin posts on one page...

I'm not really bothered by the scrolling sig pic, although it is pretty flashy...

What could he do next to make his posts even more unique and eccentric?
