Let us use bigger avatars!!! I only have 2 pictures that are under 6kb, and both are too big. Loosen the paramaters!!!!

You can't shrink them?

You can do that? How?

Methinks you need a progam like Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks or something similar to resize without cropping. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Hell, you could even use paint to resize pics.

You could upload them to your own host instead of to the Org (assuming they're not TOO huge).

Forum Rules wrote: 4. Linked forum avatars shall not be larger than 80 pixels tall or 80 pixels wide, and no larger than 80kb in file size; any avatar image exceeding these limits will be removed from the sig file without warning.

You'd still have to resize them.

Oh whoops, I somehow got confused and thought the original poster was talking about pics that were too big filesize-<s>wize</s>wise.

not to necropost, but I was thinking today that it'd be damn convenient if IU could have one image for both here AND livejournal instead of having to shring for here. Couldn't we expand the DIMENSIONS of the avatars here to 100x100? It's not unreasonable. Seriously. I think most sites do 100x100 and are just fine. I'm not usually one to care about such things, but I was thinking today, as I was making some LJ icons, that it'd be handy. That's all.

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse.
