Yea - kinda. Every avatar i had had to be fixed to fit to the limit. But i dunno how much these things can slow down the server ...

Will not change his avata
no. not at all. drop by the avatar help thread if you need some work. I've never had any problems with an avatar when using basic software
No. Then again, I've had three avatars in my five years here.
(And this is the first and current one.)

I've had alot...
I've had one for the past 4 years, but it as been improved over that time. I do wish avatars could be a bit bigger though.

The good old Ferret days. That's a different one, unfortunately. I think I might bring back the ferret after the Skins completely suck it up (about Week 8) or the season is over.

Your avatar is only 50x55. You could add another 15 pixels to it.

People with big avatars are merely trying to compensate for small postcounts.

I'm very happy that the avatar limit is the size that it is, because otherwise people would have bigger avatars. That's just distracting. An avatar is supposed to be an "icon", in the same way icons in windows differentiate one program from the next. You don't need anything bigger than 4k or 70x70px to do that.
Indeed, I think the limit means that we have to be more creative about how we represent ourselves on this forum; making the smallest possible icon that represents what you want the world to see about you is very satisfying, and requires a certain level of artistic-ness. (Says the guy with a lil smoking cat...)

Give or take 5 or 10 pixels, they're the default for most forums. However, the forum admins can make further adjustments as they like. Personally, I like larger avatars (at least 100x100).
Party-pooper.
All that said, this is only the second avatar I've ever used here (besides those I tried out and rejected as not looking right). I had one of the gallery ones, and after I met the required number of posts and membership duration, I switched to the ankh that I have now.
But I've got so many nifty 100x100 ones in my collection that I can't show off here...

Yes, I could, but then it goes to over 4 KB.Your avatar is only 50x55. You could add another 15 pixels to it.

Yes, we compensate for the small number of people as smart as us by posting more.People with big postcounts are merely trying to compensate for small [insert a witty response here].
