JPhelps and demotang seem pretty big on their posts. Jasons doesn't even show up all the way.
-
Is mine too big? Sometimes I have to ask that. The answer is usually a laugh and a no. :chuckle:
-
CoyoteChuck52 and rbros
-
how can it? when i do mine it forces me to make it a certain size. :dunno:
-
i just went and tried to even link to a pic too large and it wouldnt let me. weird
-
I actually was JUST looking around to find what avatar pixel dimensions are "allowed", usually they're posted next to the "upload avatar" button.. but this forum has nothing I could find?
-
Hunterman seems big, I just seen one outrageously long but I lost sight of it. Maybe it was already fixed lol.
-
Some of the signatures or blurbs under each post are a little on the ridiculously large side IMO. :twocents:

100 pixel on the long side seems to be okay. If anyone needs help resizing let me know.
-
120x120 max
-
:DOH: I give up haha... whoops.
Umm.. yea.. thanks for the pixel dimensions lol.
-
Mine is huge (avatar). Do I have to upload it again?
-
120x120 max
Why not simply restrict the size of the avatars through the settings? :dunno:

Hey is yours a link from a photobucket or other image-hosting website? I wonder if that might be the issue, the built-in resizing the forum was doing, isn't resizing any images from other image-hosting websites now.

Actually that's EXACTLY it, if you go to source-info for ANY of the avatar images that are oversized, they're all links to photobucket. Sounds like a website fix bearpaw needs to go look into.

To increase load speeds we were advised to discontinue auto resizing of avatars and ask members to size their own, that it would speed up the forum, so that is why we are resizing the oversized avatars. They are no longer auto-sized.
We were also advised to remove avatars from any user who has not posted recently, so we we removed avatars from anyone who has not posted in the last 90 days. This is another action that helped speed the forum back up.

Ohh I gotcha, hmm maybe just remove the upload option from a URL? OR, you could add in a tiny disclaimer underneath that option stating that they need to resize their photobucket images to 120x120? There's like, a bazillion users, I'm not sure all will get the memo lol :)

Tony,
Because yours is animated I can't fix it, you need to go into your photobucket and resize there.
If I do it you will lose the flash.
-
Think I resized all the others mentioned.
It's real easy, just highlight your avatar photo then right click on your photo, save, then resize or crop as desired. Be sure it's no larger than 120 x 120. Then upload the resized photo in your profile.

Done Again, thanks everyone for helping. :hello:
Resizing
For anyone wanting to do their own. It's real easy, go to your profile, left click on your avatar photo, right click on your photo, save to desktop, then open and resize or crop as desired. Be sure it's no larger than 120 x 120. Under "Modify Profile" click on "Forum Profile", choose "Upload an avatar" click "Browse" to choose your resized photo, go to the bottom of the page and click "Update Profile".
FYI
To make load speeds faster we were advised to discontinue auto resizing of avatars because it is resource intensive and ask members to size their own avatars, that is why some avatars need to be resized now. We were also advised to remove avatars from any user who has not posted recently, so we we removed avatars from anyone who has not posted within the last 90 days. This also helped speed the forum back up.

I had saved a giff of your avatar last night which I emailed to you. What you see is the best I can do with out accessing where you got the avatar on photobucket.

Thanks Dale :tup: That look great. That icon was made for me from another web site admin. (I think from Hunt/Talk, man that was awhile ago). I'll have to wait until I get home to check my e-mail. Thanks again Dale.

what size do they need to be? I have an entire folder of avatars and none are over 100px X 100px......yet I can only upload about half of them the other half say too big or not an avatar? :dunno: this is the strangest thing...did you put a compression on them that they have to also be like under 20kb? because the biggest kb I have is about 52kb??
-
I wouldn't change your current one. :tup:
Its freaking awesome.

That is correct, we disabled auto resizing of avatars shown from image hosting websites, this creates a little work but takes a some load off the forum server. Max upload size of photos for avatars is set at 120 x 120.
