Knife Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) As the title says really, how about making the max avatar size 80x80 instead of 64x64. 80x80 is the default size on most forums and it allows a little more detail to be put into them. Yep. Edited December 27, 2007 by Knife Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/304980-bump-avatars-to-80x80/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night Fox Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 That is actually a really good suggestion, because there are plenty of avatars I was going to use but can't use because they were over the size limit. I do like my current avatar, but I do agree that the max allowed size for avatars should be more than 64 x 64.

Kaj. Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 That is actually a really good suggestion, because there are plenty of avatars I was going to use but can't use because they were over the size limit. I do like my current avatar, but I do agree that the max allowed size for avatars should be more than 64 x 64. There is the auto-size feature for avatars, you know. Check a little box, and any image you use will be automatically resized to 64x64 for you. And personally, I like the size where it is. Having 80x80 avatars would make the left side all cluttered and packed with everything.

Vince_ThePhoenix Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Good idea. 80x80 will be nice, containing more details etc... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/304980-bump-avatars-to-80x80/#findComment-1057359352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exkabewbikadid Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I actually prefer the smaller 64x64 avatars. I never really liked forums that put too much emphasis on avatars with sizes like 80x80 or the ridiculous 100x100. It's just more than I care to see.

I do like more minimalistic looks especially since, as cool as you could make an 80x80 avatar, people will make ones that stick out too much. I'd even like smaller signature sizes too Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/304980-bump-avatars-to-80x80/#findComment-1057359427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither you nor Xcomm has an avatar. Anyways, I never thought that the avatar size was a big deal. I mean it's just a small picture; it isn't your identity. Besides, smaller avatar size makes the forum stand out among other forums.

The-King Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Smaller is better, I've always hated big avatars, they look tacky and make the forum seem less slim-lined, less professional. Small avatars make everything look cleaner and neater, and give GTAF part of it's unique feel.

TheDude5000 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Minimizing images down to 64x64 and not compromising quality is not as easy as all that...but I guess I'm used it by now so no 80x80 is not much of a disappointment. But leave the sig sizes alone. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/304980-bump-avatars-to-80x80/#findComment-1057359886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude GTA3 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 What about 75x75? Not much of a difference in size,but a little difference in quality. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/304980-bump-avatars-to-80x80/#findComment-1057360016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush Threepwood Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 64x64 is a fine size. Look to the left, you've already got your ava, your flag and your group pip thingy. Then you've got a 500x150 sig space, how much more do you actually need to 'express' yourself?

gtamodder Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 64x64 is fine. I wouldn't think of having them bigger, and secondly you can just resize the picture you would want to use as your avatar, but if it's over limit then it will just resize Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/304980-bump-avatars-to-80x80/#findComment-1057361178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Carter Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I vote 80x80.. Some avatars are 160x160, so you can just squish it by half so you'll exactly half the detail.
