Avatars & Signature.

hmm…
Nah 100x100 for all.
spend 2k nicks for 120x120. hows that??? :stuck_out_tongue:

rephrased the poll question again.
its either 80x80 @ 20KB
or 100x100 @ 20KB

keep voting :smiley:

Me 2 voted for 100x100

newayzz hows my new siggy

I vote for 100 X 100, with out increasing the size ie 20KB

Actually I dont mind bigger avtaar sizes, but please not bigger sigs especially text sigs which I cant adblock :wink:
Like my current one .

Will be deleting all offtopic chat from this thread, inclusive of discussions on personal sigs, monitors etc.
Only posts pertaining and in relation to the exact topic of the thread will be kept.

Besides that, I would request members not to spam in this topic if u are really serious about the poll and the consequences etc.
Now to the point of this post.
Why do you want larger avatars when you want others to block them?

Dont you think that each person on a forum is identified by his nick, sig and avatar?

So, if some of you are using adblock as already suggested above, why do you want an increase in the avatar sizes?

Besides, what about those users on a fixed bandwidth plan or on dialup? Cant they too enjoy some amount of liberty and view the avatars and sigs?

What about those not so rich members who cannot afford a bigger/better monitor?

They are not different than you. They too share the same enthusiasm for Technology and for TE. Then, why should they be asked to block avatars just coz they cant afford to have a bigger resolution or a better monitor or a better connection?

I feel that the answers to these questions, if you all think logically and correctly as a member of a community and for the welfare of all ppl/members of the community, will drive you to the conclusion that the current limits are set keeping in mind the welfare of all the members and are perfect for all.

Besides, would it harm you all with better monitors to step down a notch in ur screen resolution?

View your avatars at 1024 and there is nothing much missing from them.

EDIT: i forgot to mention that as stated in other posts, this is not about ego at all. If it was, this thread would have been closed/locked long back. Its more about logic and thinking and member opinions and reasoning.

Well, firstly, we mentioned, keep the Size the SAME. I.E. the 20kb which is there currently. Let it be that, just it should be 100*100.

So dont argue about Load Times. As it wont make a slight bit of difference.

8080 is too small for me even at 1024768. Its NOT “Complete”.

Also, only Aces wants to Adblock the avatar. Thats upto him. Hes just fighting for it not to be changed, hes not really gonna AdBlock em. Whats the differece if only the Dimensions are more, not the Size?

LCD users can step down, as it becomes blurred at anything other than the Native Resolution.

Nope.
I was not referring to Aces post.
I was referring to the other post which pointed out the avatar and sig blocking feature of the forum.

Step down a notch.
Use it for one to two days and it wont appear blurred.

why are you so adament there are 27 votes for yes.

and LCD USERS cannot step down a notch please understand.

XT, i guess you havent seen an LCD in front of you, have you?

It gets so blurred that its not funny.

Its not about being adament or anything.
Its about whats been put down earlier as rules after much thinking.

Besides, why dont u start a poll in the Chatterbits section to find out how many LCD users are there and how many are CRT users?

Its pretty plain and simple what i have suggested in my previous two posts.

EDIT:
Yes, i have not used LCD monitors.
and, it was based upon your post which clearly mentioned:

80
80 is too small for me even at 1024*768. Its NOT “Complete”.

Since i am a noob for LCDs i took that as a base for my reply.
My bad there.
Sorry for it, but it was ur typo there.

This isnt a LCD vs CRT discussion.

If 27 People have voted yes, and 8, No, i think the decision is pretty clear.

i will start a poll on what size 23", 21", 20.1", 19", 17" & 15".

why is Jatin kompelli Junior Members avatar 100x147.

who is that ??? haven’t seen him anywhere …

ya Jatin kompelli has got an Avatar size of 100x147 hows tat possible…???

If u dont no him then here is the link of the thread he started see his avatar
Bigger Avatar Size How Come

I think hes using 1 from the Default Gallery.

Whoever put it there was very ignorant :).

ya ,goldenfrag is rgt its frm Generic Avatars Section ,

Look at mine now its 94x115 Avatar

So if there can be such big avatars (bigger than 100x100 )in the default gallery then wats the point in arguing tat we cant have custom avatars of 100x100 size with the same sizelimit 20kb

I cant get it???

I dunno what the big deal is anyways. XT has point there, majority of the users use 800*600 resolution ( I am not talking abt the regular users ) The point being how many offices or cyber cafes even have 17 inch CRT monitors ?

Yes…100x100 please :stuck_out_tongue:
