Can we do bigger avatars?
I'm wondering if we could change the forum to include larger avatars. It's awefully hard to create one under the current size guidelines...
Is this a reasonable request or suggestion?

I'm personally unsure. David or PrinzII would know about that kind of stuff better than me. If it's a possibility, it can be a consideration during the forum upgrade. It is coming up soon.

Sliver, I'll mention this to David and see what he says.

One of the boards I go to allows 150 x 150 sized avatars. Of course, that site also runs 5 servers with 8 gigs of memory!

I don't like large avatars. They take up too much space on the page.

I don't like larger avatars... Some of us are still running dialup  I know I could just block all avatars, but those pictures are how I know who's who. Having to look at the names would suck

If you can get broadband in your area, it is worth the cost over dial-up. On dial-up, I could download videos at around 3.75kb/sec. On a 6 mbps broadband connection, I get stuff at around 780kb/sec, which is around 200 times faster. Sure it is $42 vs $19 but time is money, right?
BTW, if you download the Opera browser, it loads pages more quickly. |

One of the best things about this site is how the sigs and avatars are kept in check. Sometimes when other car forums are linked here I am just overwhelmed with what seems like banner ads that I then realize are sigs and avatars. Leave it as it is.

I'm certainly down with a slightly larger avatar. I think the sigs need to stay text only though.
