Increased Avatar Size - Dehyped | 天使 - Dec 21, 2021
120 x 150 is kinda weak. This isn't a radical idea but I think it would just be nicer visually and give people a little more room to play around and be creative. It could even be a perk for L33t/Ub3r only as part of the incentives to upgrade. Just a thought, I think it would be nice. Doesn't have to be huge, even 150x150 or 200x200 would be great.

Size doesn't concern me as much as file size, really annoying trying to get gifs to the sweet spot. But this is a massive forum, any size increase plays a part.

Hundreds of other forums do it, I think we would be fine. It's not like this place isn't overflowing with technical experts and tons of money.
Could also make it Ub3r only to cut out a lot of volume.

Yeah making it uber ownly would be nice, that being said grays can't even use the features.

But I guess if it were resized I would just have to give a bigger tbgnd
you're just the right size...

I don't see any reason to make them bigger. They currently perfectly fit the layout and also look decent on mobile phones.

Making it Ub3r only is a great idea

I think 150x150 would be nice to have. Anyone that wants a square image is forced to do 120px. I don't think extending the width maximum from 120px to 150px would significantly alter the layout of the site, if at all.
EDIT: Many areas on the site where avatars are displayed have their maximum dimensions set. So having a 150x150 avatar doesn't mean that it would display as 150x150 everywhere on site.
EDIT2: Actually, is there anywhere on site where avatars are displayed at full size?

Scaled down to 100 maximum dimension side.

I swear when I initially opened blogs I was viewing the the actual image, not the scaled circular version.
Maybe I'm crazy. My mistake.

My guess is that because other forums have larger avatars you expect HF to do so. I can make the avatars whatever size I want. And I have 120x150.
