They're outrageously huge! It's like I'm on a terrible anime forum and I can't escape! Especially when UndercoverBoy posts. I just have to keep scrolling and scrolling and there's too many pixels oh god the pixels my eyes are crossing and bleeding. The old 64x64 default avatars look even worse now, 120x120 uploaded files are pixelated from resizing, and the non-square avatars are even more annoying! Make it back to 120x120 and don't let people have avatars that are longer than 120 or I will literally die.

LOL

I agree, 120x120 was OK. Maybe 150x150 so everyone is happy?

Agreed. I immediately said "what the hell is this?" on first sight. I thought the size before was perfect, not too small like most forums, but just right.

Too big IMO.

Nah, in all honesty I don't care too much.

Since I visit this forum religiously every day, new things always take some time to sink in. I hope the same applies here. Smile

You could always shrink yours and repost out of protest. Wink

But yeah, yours is much more hideous enlarged. Tongue

The 120 x 120 ones were perfect. Mine is simply too menacing at this size.

I empathize with the members who're having pixel issues, but these biggies are really kinda cool after a while  Star
