BogMonster Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 OK time for a competition Who can find the biggest avatar belonging to somebody else who obviously has BB and can't be @rsed to resize it to something reasonable As a yardstick a still image resized to avatar size should be about 3K - 5K perhaps 15K at biggest, and an anim one a bit bigger (my anim penguin is 9K - but up to 50K is probably reasonable) No names but the biggest one I have found so far is 2.5 MB ... and I was wondering why some F pages were taking a week to bluddy load - beat that (To see the file size right click on the avatar image and select Properties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkieB Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I'd been meaning to resize <——— that, hopefully before most people are awake this morning it'll be sorted Huh! It was a mere 44k, I must have already resized it. I think that's close to its limit really; although it seems to load in bits on dialup.

white90 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) Time for a Limit on the size I would think. Stephen there is a setting to not show Avatars control panel /Board settings you can turn off the option to show them.

I think there should be (if it is possible) I don't want to not look at avatars, I just want people to show a bit more consideration for those of us who don't have BB .... 99% of people's avatars are fine and some are worth seeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the ones that are just linked to but hosted elsewhere that can be big and the forum software has no control over that. If you go to 'My Controls' and select Board Setting (from the left) you can turn off/on things like signatures, avatars,...etc. You might find just the right combination that suits you sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 Gary - works fine here (nice n small too ) reads90 - sorry you're only 1/5 the size of the winning contender At 457K it could still use some dieting though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Only 9k here - yay for black & white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddyplugger Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Was a bit worried there, mine checks in as a lightweight 0.009765625 Mb. (10k) B) But my little driving fellow is 24K, however, it is hosted on another site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I think some boards can check external links for image size / file size, so it's possible in theory I'll get my anorak... P.S: For those who don't have image software on their PC, this may be of use http://www.pxn8.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkieB Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 right well as animation is in fashion, I suppose I had to change my avatar then. Now at a slimmed-down 30k! It looks as though uploaded avatars are up to 50k so toiletbreaker, we're eagerly awaiting the name'n'shame hour.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
