Hey Everyone, it's come to my attention through issues I've had myself and issues others have had to that the site no longer will automatically re-size your avatar. Infact avatar sizes may vary depending on the browser and system you are using. You may notice one day someone's avatar looks normal and the next day it's taking up half the page. I've spoken to a few people and have change my own avatar myself. It seems the only way to deal with this bug is to physicially go in and re-size your avatar to a reasonable size. Do not assume the thumbnail will be used.

If your avatar is not already within the size constraints please consider taking the time to re-size it even if you haven't had any troubles yet as it seems to appear very spontaniously and can make reading troublesome for many.

Thanks!

For instructions on how to do the resizing in paint, check out the Max Size for Avis & Sigs + Sig Link Instructions thread.

Remember, our suggested max sizes for avatars is 120 x 155 pixels; our suggested max size for signatures is 555 x 190 pixels. Those sizes keep things easy to load for our low-speed connection members and prevent the page from being stretched out, no matter what browser you use or how large your monitor happens to be. You can see those sizes modeled on the gorgeous fallback. Feel free to make your avatar and sig smaller, but please do not make them bigger. The Mods retain the right to ask anyone to resize their avatar or signature. If you're having trouble with resizing, just ask us for help.

Also if you are having trouble doing this, pm me and send me a link to the picture, I will save it and re size it for you.
