Heh, in Opera I see an 80x80 version of the avatar, but the placeholder is still there - there's a huge margin between the avatar and the main body of the post!

Actually, no. Please see this:

Here's what firefox users see

Here's what IE users see for the same post as the firefox users above.

I'm not one to use any power without asking first, but your avatar is too large. I'm asking you to resize it or, due to the support in this topic, I'll remove the avatar. You just can't link a 1280x1024, 245.08 KB avatar and expect everyone to swallow it.

i feel like a dumbass, its their fault for using IE! bill gates can **** it and then suck a **** and **** your mom and **** a ****ing stripper ***** and then **** on his cat and try to make love to a ****ing monkey!!!!

eww. damn you for posting that
anyway, another reason not to have a huge avatar is that it makes the user fully download the image no matter what size it appears.
for people on dialup that can really suck. i know, i only just got cable a few months ago

edit: plus, your avatar is only sposed to be like 6KB anyway

NeoThermic: Just out of curiosity, is it possible to enforce avatar sizes via php? i.e. when the page is generated, it checks the avatar size (both in terms of Kb and dimensions), and gets rid of any that are too large?

Not that it has really been much of a problem on these forums, I am just curious.

Yes, but it would slow the forum down with every avatar that appears in the topic, and would use bandwidth quite a bit for everyone involved. Thus is possible, but just not feasable.

Anyway, I don't make idle statements, so Battlefrank, I've removed your avatar for being too large.

They didn't show up for the judging or something, I'm not really clear. We got the prizes from them alright though.

The current avatar of his is actually an example intro I made during the darwinia betas, look at the link, to my photobucket folder. :P

Battlefrank, you could've asked before using it!

Not quite. It only gets accepted if Alyx's head is "positioned" near somebody's crotch...

In fact, just about any pic with a crotch, male or female, will do.
