WHy are some members avatars bigger than others ?

SimplyAmorous · 10-10-2011, 09:29 AM

This is probably a silly question but it makes no sense to me, no matter what Pic I use my avatar is smaller than other members, this is NOT fair ! I am annoyed .

Look at Heartsbeatings avatar, and Triumphs in comparison to mine on this thread , why are their squares bigger .... what gives ?

I Might Have Manned Up?

it's not the size of the avatar that is important, it's how the avatar is used that is

Avatar size is directly related to the size of the bribe given to the moderator.

Actually I suspect it has to do with the properties of your image. In your case I suspect that it appears smaller because it is a rectangle where the others you list are square.

Just a guess.

Chris H. · 10-10-2011, 01:46 PM

Yeah, amp's right. Max size is a square, something like 100x100 px. So if you upload a rectangle, you will not be using the full space available.

nice777guy · 10-10-2011, 01:56 PM

So, its more about "shape" than "size"?

OK - I've heard that before...

First of all, Nice Guy -that 1st reply of yours had me almost rolling on the floor. It is a real wonder with the way I wrote this, it didn't dawn on me I might get a reply like yours, loved that. Size is darn important, isn't it !

And speaking of shapes, this still makes no sense to me ... Nice Guy's shape is SIMILAR to mine and his is BIGGER !! I know this sounds bad, you'll have to excuse me here.

Looking at That Girls, hers is smaller too -but not at small as mine! (I measured it!) .

I guess some new uploads will be in order -soon - to get me a bigger one. Have to try some squares.

that_girl · 10-10-2011, 08:23 PM

Stop measuring my avatar! I feel violated.

Mine was rectangle too. My square ones are usually bigger.

SimplyAmorous · 10-10-2011, 08:35 PM

OK I took a bigger file picture , chopped it to a square -looks a little bigger, but geeze, look at the size of Chris H's square! I guess you gotta get it "just so" to maximize that entire little BOX.

I really do have better things to do ! ha ha

That girl --sorry for the violation, is that YOU & yours? Or a young Paul McCartney pic?!

that_girl · 10-10-2011, 08:36 PM

A young Paul and Linda pic <3 <3 <3 Love them!!

I should put up a pic of me and my lovah. loll I hate when people say, "lovah".

Some people's squares are just bigger than others. It's all part of life. Don't go comparing, you will be disappointed.

Just posting to see how big mine is. Gah! It's tiny!

Mine is a Lorentz function strange attractor so it has some quantum effects going on. It's neither bigger nor smaller until you look at it. Then it is.
