Humongous avatars... ANNOYING!

Can't the forum software make maximum width for the avatars? Those huge avatars that some members use completely screw up the text layout for people who prefer lower resolution views.

108 pixels is the maximum avatar width size for most forums I frequent. Is it possible that we could adopt that policy as well?

Definitely... I am aware that not all of us are blessed with large screen estate.

I have 19' monitor and lots of resolutions... but I still prefer to use 1024 x 768.

I would assume large screen estate -> higher resolution. You're right on that point ByTor.

108 gets my vote, easier to read posts.

108 may be a little small, but I'm definitely for a 150px limit, just like is stated in the profile page ...

Displays a small graphic image below your details in posts. Only one image can be displayed at a time, its width can be no greater than 150 pixels, the height no greater than 150 pixels, and the file size no more than 6 KB.

Mine is 120x150, for instance.

Well yeah... 150 is great too. Pugs' avatar isn't too wide.

Thanks guys!
