Avatar Size and KB's - Computer Support Forums

**DSTM** · 26-02-2009, 07:02 AM

Wondering if Admin can change limits on Avatar from 50x50 19.5KB to Forum Average Norms.Thanks.

Hi Doug;
The current setting for pixel height and width is 100X100 which is quite large for an avatar. Your current one is only 50X50 though that's why it looks small.

As for the file size our setting is already 20kb which is more then enough to make a picture of these sizes display properly on web pages.

If we were to increase these settings even more it would just burden the server needlessly and the poor people on dialup would be waiting for pages to load.

Thanks for the response,Randy.
In actual fact the current Avatar was 66x66 and 4.23 KB's,and your Software automatically reduced it to 50x50 and 3.4 KB's so I can't see where the 100x100 limit is even allowed.
Your software says 50x50 limit,and that's what it changed the current Avatar to.
I won't worry,just making a point,mate.

This is directly from the ACP Dougie.

Custom Avatar Maximum Width (pixels) 100

Custom Avatar Maximum Height (pixels) 100

Custom Avatar Maximum File Size (bytes)1KB = 1024 bytes 20000

Right click on your Avatar and choose Properties and you'll see it's 50 x 50

Oops, a small oversight Dougie, try now buddy.

**DSTM** · 26-02-2009, 10:33 AM

Hi Wolfey.The current one was 100x100 until I just uploaded.Now 50x50.
I will upload the same,elsewhere and see what happens.

EDIT. Site had 90x90 limit, and software reduced the same 100x100 Avatar, to 90x90,so your 100x100 limit is not working on my Computer.

Now the avatar is 100 x 100

**DSTM** · 26-02-2009, 10:45 AM

Wonderful,that fixed whatever it was,mate.
Thanks for that.

**RandyL** · 26-02-2009, 11:33 AM

Sorry DSTM. It was an oversight on our part that was specific to your user group.

As you can see it is corrected now.

**DSTM** · 26-02-2009, 11:45 AM

Saw other larger Avatars,on this Site,and had me confused.(often happens)
