avatar size
would it be possible to increase the allowed ava file size? it would be great to upload animated GIFs. I mean 15KB??

But doesn't Hobo have a .gif as his avatar?
|
Hobo is special.
For one he's a moderator that hardly visits. |
No animated shit. We respect users’ rights not to have their eyes raped. Only Hobo is permitted to rape your eyes.
|
|
If that was the thing you wanted as your avatar, thank God you can't use it.
|
I like it when people answer their own questions, it saves me the banality.
|
I'd like a bigger avatar size limit for things that aren't animated.
|
Fear hobo and his powerly powers :D
|
He doesn't have the power, he merely has the permission.
|
since there's no point in creating a new help topic for this do you mind if I post something irrelevant to the topic here?
How do you do that tiny tiny tiny writing? Never known how. Thanks. |
You use these tags.
Which you'd be able to see clearly if you clicked the Quote button. |
Hey, Max isn't an Oddworld Administrator any more.
|
Which tags? I see none. :fuzzle:
edit: ohh I see my bad |
|
I think the avatars are fine how they are.
i've been to other forums and there avatar and sig image sizes are just too big. |
I don't mind animation if it's subtle, like only part of the image moves.
I again reference Hypnotoad. |
:
MM, you're right, but your mileage may vary greatly when it comes to what constitutes annoying animation. |
You can always give a trial period and see how well people adhere to basics sensibility. If it fails then we know that this forum isn't capable of following a set of guidelines don't we?
|
As a counterpoint, I will gladly find the most obnoxious GIF possible just to be a dick to STM.
|
|
Like that, that works! Post that.
|
of for the fuck!
this is 2001:Space Odyssey. it is ultimate, you have to worship it like a monolith! >: ( |
What if people had to submit their animated avatars for assessment before the could use them?
|
What if people were banned outright for obnoxious animated avatars?
|
I prefer that suggestion.
|
|
To everyone who's requesting a trial period, or an assessment process; the law is a sledgehammer, not a scalpel. It's much easier to just have a basic rule that affects few people than to either open the floodgates and irritate everyone or have a complicated process that annoys the mods.

Basically we don't like to encourage newbs to interact with staff members any more than is necessary. Life would be so much easier if we could bar entry to anyone unable to spell and define the word 'obnoxious'.
While I was originally of the opinion that OWF's sig and avy limits were painfully extreme, I have - since those unenlightened days - been on many a message board where said limits were much freer, and therefore the average full page of posts could take more than half a minute to load, and you were blinded all the way down to flashing banners and avatars and spent more time scrolling past signatures than posts. Basically bigger images means more room for annoyingness. You are neither funny, nor clever. You think you are... but you aren't. |
