On the subject of Avatars, can we please get 150px wide ones? 100px square is just too small.

That would be up to Mr. M and Mr. D.

Hmm... dunno, sometimes I have to scrolll to the right as is, that would exacerbate the problem, wouldn't it?

Not necessarily. The sidebar that contains the user info and avatar has a width that already could easily accomodate a larger avatar image in its current form. Although I think 150 pixels is a bit much for an avatar...this is a guitar forum, not an art gallery. I'd go with something like 120x120 pixels. That would be a 400 pixel improvement in resolution and large enough without being obtrusive or distracting.

From an admin standpoint, the physical dimensions of the image is not really an issue. It's the size of the image file that matters. It's all about bandwidth and server storage space. Keeping the 20K file size limitation for avatars but bumping up the maximum dimensions shouldn't be a problem...but that's for the site's owners and admins to decide, of course.

Yes, I see that now. Excellent point.

I'd like to make this my avatar but no matter how small i make it, it's still not working. Ah well.

Welcome, Jenine!

Here ya go! Just right click and save it.

Thanks!!

I'm new here, but added one for me already. The headstock cresting wave always reminded me of Bob Big Boy's hairdo. I guess I could name my bass Bob, but that just seems to self-referential.

Welcome, Bob. I'll never look at a Rick bass headstock the same way anymore.

Hmm, you know? You're right!

Downsizing is everywhere!

Here is a minefield of possibilities of avatars for Kira!

Here is a thumbnail of my custom neon fish bass - could I please get some help shrinking it to make it my new avitar? Thanks!
