Avatars ?

[Zoriel]

Hi, i wondered if you disabled the use of Avatars permanently or if youre gonna activate them sometimes ?

Thanks

[kingdazy]

Was wondering 'bout that too...?
But I'm guessing it's one of the features still being worked on. Like they said, 'prolly by Monday.

[LocutusofBorg]

yes, we will reenable it again soon, we worked without long breaks to make the new portal run asap.

Or short: I need to rest now, I'm a little bit exhausted

Re: avatars ?

blox, you do realize the admins already know about these things?

[Kinlaadare]

Imho, images in signature isn't a really good idea... It's the best way to get a damn heavy and slow website...

edit : besides, it's only what I think

Because of the latest issues with the board-PM functions
and to avoid complains from our users who frequently
received requests about warez and cracks, we decided
to change the PM-system (and the avatar-system for
resource-reasons, too)

I was about to say that I cannot use an avatar, as it was set to not let me use one the last time I logged in - but it may simply have been a counting error as the board may not have realized the number of posts I had *prior* to the upgrade, or whatever - at any rate, I have posted today, and it allowed me to use my avatar again.

BTW, I like the slick new look of the board, but one question - are you permanently doing away with the JavaScript for hiding the menu panel? or is that simply still in development? I like that slick feature of this place....

Other than that, kudos on the design!

By the way, what's up with the 50x50 size of avatars? I agree to the 50 pixels height, but 50 pixels wide is too small. Especially since the size limit is 60kB (I have yet to see a 60kB 50x50 image; mine is 2kB).

[LocutusofBorg]

Yes, we're working on the enable/disable-button for the
left sidemenu.

We also change the imagesize of the avatars to 80*80

It's just me, of course, but I think something like 50x128 would make more sense.

Anyway, I think avatars should only have an upper limit on the number of pixels in total. That is, 50x128 should be allowed (80x80 = 6400, 50x128 = 6400), and other sizes that use less than 6401 pixels. Of course, min/max dimensions should apply; something like 1x6400 should not be allowed.

Just my 6400 cents.

[LocutusofBorg]

80*128 - and this is my last word, hands down!



BTW: your request about filesize: also animated avatars are
allowed

[Nikos]

80*128 - and this is my last word, hands down!

But...

WHat am I missing?
Must you be a certain user class to use avatars?
Everyone seems to have them, but my userCP will not let me add one....
