Avatars

[MeganChan]

I don't think I saw a topic for this.

Anyway, how big (size and file size) do you let people have their avatars?

I limit mine size wise to 100x100. Not really sure what's a good file size limit though.

It honestly depends on the theme and how big the avatar can be before it just makes the theme break. 😛

Right now I have 150x150, and I am still experimenting with a longer avatar as far as post-bits go. Luckily myBB has it to where they can upload big avatars but it will resize in post-bits and member pages, so they can actually upload 300x300 and then the software just resizes it to the given dimensions I have it set for post-bits.

On FP, the maximum avatar size is 150x150 and I think avatars looks great on posts. You don't want it too small as people won't be able to see it but you also don't want it to be too big. I think this size is just right.

My general max, is 150x150. But then again, most of the themes I go after, are able to have 150x150 for avatars, without breaking the theme.

I always go with 150x150. I think it's the ideal size.
