Larger Avatars and Profile Pictures now allowed!

In an effort to be better aligned with other forums that many of our members frequent, we have increased the allowable image size of avatars from 60X60 pixels to 100X100 pixels. We have also increased the allowable image size of our profile images from 100X100 pixels to 400X400 pixels. We hope this increase in size will make it easier to utilize the same avatar at numerous boards and also give you a slightly larger canvas upon which you may express your individuality.

Hey guys. I have helped a lot of you with your avatars over the years. I am not a photoshop wizard, but if I can help anyone upsize their avatar, just PM me and let me know! Please don't be suprised if I don't respond immediately. I don't have as much time to spend here as I used to, but I will try to help anyone who asks.

I was always led to believe size didn't matter

I think I will stick with my smaller ones for now just to be a bit different...

Lovin' the new avatar size! Thanks!

Nice! The small avatars were a bit annoying.

We will take this into consideration. Our reasoning behind small avatars, small banners at the top of the page, and small sigs is to help restrict vertical space. We often see forums that have more signatures and avatars than actual content and one must scroll and scroll to get to the content they are looking for. This is why TDH has historically been very tight vertically. A second reason is bandwidth and the time it takes to load larger images. As the percentage of internet users with larger monitors increases and broadband access becomes almost universal, you will continue to see us relax on these issues.

I think that there should be a sig size limit, but larger than the current one now. I don't like huge sigs either.

Also, I think custom user titles are cool too. Most forums have those.

I too appreciate the increase of the avatars..

when the smaller signatures came into effect, I didn't like it at first, but when I started going on other forums where people would make a one sentence post but yet it took up the whole screen, i started likeing the small ones.

I thought a tuba was a brass instrument, it's a woodwind? My bad, I guess I never noticed a reed on the tuba.

At this point we are going to keep the signatures at 60X468 for the vertical scrolling concerns mentioned above. We had custom titles at one time but found that they became something of status symbols and since we wanted a persons contributions to weigh more than an automated or custom title, we did away with them. You might still find the post on it somewhere around here.

Why can't I seem to get my sig image:



To appear in my sig? I've tried uploading and linking to the offsite image through "My Helmet" to no avail??
