Avatar Sizes

[cb1892]

When did the avatar sizes change?

All my avatars are 100x100 so they don't look right as 90x90.

When mine didnt fit I always put it as 87x87.

That doesn't work for me.

They still look strange.

I have the same problem, and I'm looking at the properties of other people's avatars and some of them are still 100x100...what gives?

did you try scrolling down where it says
Avatar dimensions: you can put in your own sizes and I put 100x100 I don't know if that works or not

Hello

As far as I know you have to differentiate between the real image, stored as a file here in database or elsewhere online, and the window to display/show/represent the image in your post. The real image (the file stored in database) still have its original dimensions (100x100px) but the window for its representation is now limited to 90x90px. So as a result your image is scaled down to fit in the window.

When you right click on the window and select "properties" you (normally) see the properties of the windows' source, so the real image. So that could be the reason

Just an attempt to explain...

I get what you're saying and I thank you for your help, but if the avatar is scaled down, it says so. Like, it would say: "100x100 (scaled to 90x90)".

I guess I'll have to give in and scale mine down...how does one go about doing that?

Oh, ok

I didn't noticed that before. So then I have to give in too :neutral:
