100 X 100 Avatars

[Laura Mabee]

I am curious, if we are all using our own webspace to host out own Avatars, can we up the avatar size to 100x100 on the forum? I know right now they are 50x50? I think.. I figured most avatars are made 100x100, so I am curious if we can do that?

I made mine 72x72 because that's what they are on my other boards. I don't know if the bigger ones will upload, I don't think so. :-/

Is that was the sizes allowed on here are?
Thanks.

I used to use 100x100 icons, because that's what I use on my LJ and other things. I know that if you use an Icon from another site the size of the picture doesn't matter. Because the forum will shrink them down to what they allow. I used to have 100x100 icons on here all the time, but the picture looked squished and whatnot. I've just started making smaller icons now  :-/

On my other boards, they have a limit and it won't automatically shrink, it will just tell you it's too big and can't be used. What does this site do?

When I linked my 100x100 avatar on the site (note: I had it hosted at photobucket, I wasn't uploading in on any server here)
I just squished the image to fit the allowed space

Yes, i believe it just squishes into the allotted size.
