Avatar size too small

I know the default size for the avatar's is 85x85, which I find is too small. So I was wondering if we could have the size changed to 100x100?

Also, I know that you (RiffTrax) host the avatars yourselves, so if storage size is a problem, maybe we could have an option to provide a link to where we have our avatars stored on our hosting server (like Photobucket)?

Thoughts?

Sure, I can make them larger in the near future. Was thinking 100px square or 125px. Either of those are pretty standard.

To your second point, you can already do this. Under Avatar > Profile settings, use the radio button "I have my own pic" although that probably resizes it as well. I'll make this change immediately. <Borat>Why not?</Borat>

EDIT: Done and done.

Some of the avatars just got very large...with scroll bars for them and everything! :)

Yeah, and my avatar from the top banner takes up most of the screen, ending up like a background image.

Scroll bars? Where?

Hmmm interesting. Will investigate :)

EDIT: Fixed. Apparently GD Library isn't working the way it should. Blast.

Along the bottom of some people's avatars.  I assume its people who've let the board resize their avatars automatically?

That's gonna be how it is for the next couple months until we integrate the board with the new site. Version 3 will solve many issues. Stay tuned ...

Nice work there TP! Although now my Christmas basehart looks a little dinky compared to the rest of you guys.  Guess I'll have to get something newer... :)

It's already been fixed somewhat.  The pic doesn't fit in the banner, but it isn't obstructing my view of the boards like it was earlier, it's just cut off, which is no biggie.  It looks good on posts, that's what counts for now.

I thought my computer was broken at first, but I like the Su-'hoo-per Sized avatars.
