New Avatar Size

amirm · Feb 28, 2015

Hello everyone.

Wanted to announce a new change to the forum. Currently our maximum Avatar size is limited to 80x80 pixels. We kept that small as to not make it overtake the context of our conversations. But with advent of much higher resolution monitors, such avatars can be barely visible. And we appreciate members create their avatars as a reflection of who they are (check out my new one and that of Steve!

).

So starting now, for members who have had 25 posts and 30 days or longer membership on WBF Forum, the new maximum size is 320x180. That should allow you to use widescreen aspect ratio for your avatars.

FYI the max file size is 20K bytes but we would appreciate if if you could keep the files as small as you can as otherwise they will slow down page displays. Mine is 5 Kbytes as an example.

Go ahead and make your change now.

Enjoy!

Steve and Amir

It is our pleasure Sean. What classic car are we looking at in your avatar?

Oh, this is so much fun

Thanks, Amir.

I will have to stay the same size because 69 years later MrAcoustat would not FIT on the page.

Amir, Ouch that hurts. That question makes us older guys feel our age.

Amir, I believe that's a Goat. In other words a Pontiac GTO.....bad to the bone muscle car. '67 perhaps?

From that photo it is hard to tell if it is a 66 or 67.

Thanks for the increase in size! Nice!

Oh no, it is not about being too young to know. Should have been more clear. I am just not a "car guy" so not good at recognizing cars from their pictures and hence my question.

I'm the same. I can get a general idea, but that's it.

It's a '67 Pontiac GTO. The biggest difference between the '66 & '67 is the tail lights are different. Also the GTO badge on the front fender is in a different location. On a '66 it's in the middle on the fender, and on the '67 it's on the bottom chrome trim.

I tried to upload some pics, but the software is not working all the way for some reason today. It uploads the image in the drop down box but then the software gets hung up, and does nothing.

Holy Moly, I nailed it on the first choice! Whoo Hooo!!!

Do I get a prize? *dances*

No wait.....Don't tell me. My prize is that I get to post again, right?

Great car man. Great car. If that's yours, I know you have a lot of looks coming your way whilst driving.

Thanks Tom. It does get a lot of looks.

It's a lot of fun.

I still can not insert images in this thread for some reason?

how are you doing it?

Hi Amir, Same way I always have. I'm hitting the insert image icon above. Then uploading images from my computer. It uploads them and then after the progress bars are full it just sits there, and does not add them to the post. Just tried it again, and no go.
