What's the chances of getting the avatar's acceptance size larger than what it is? 64x64 is quite small! Double that would be cool! But I'd even settle for 96x96

Would that be a silent "no" ?

Sorry for the delay, Erik, that was no intentional silence. In regard to bandwidth and database size I am reluctant to allow larger avatars. I know that 64x64px is not a lot of space for selfexpression, but I'm trying to keep a balance between professional boards that do not accept avatars at all and for instance anime-related fora where avatars seem to be more important than the message itself.

I understand. I thought 96x96 would have been a fair size, but your da boss. =) I'm probably the only person that cares about this, but thought I would throw this at you so you could keep it in the back of your mind thinking you may someday change this. Who knows... =)

I'm fine with the 64x64 size. It's not that bad.-. I like it.
