OT but could the profile picture size be a little bit increased? Something like 320*200 maybe?

thats a large avit...

As i use a tv not a monitor If i want to actualy be able to read any text i haft to use 800x600,
sometimes even 640x480.
320x200 would take up a bunch of my screen and i was hopeing to view the custom avits as well.

wouldnt 220x100 be adequate enough ?

actualy i think 200x200 wouldnt bother my display much either.

The profile picture is not an avatar or sig image Sham; it appears only at one's profile page.

No objections, 96*142 will be the fixed size for UrlAvatars.

The initial idea, was to make it 100% free for registered members who have say more than 3 posts (obviously to prevent incompatible acounts to display just anything). But, since most users here want to stick to a theme, the hosting may have to be done differently.

There are two options.

-1 Hope for the best, expect people to stick with the theme (whatever that is going to be) and allow external linking to a picture.
-2 Host the images on this server and only allow images hosted here to be used. That would be more like what is done for the avatars we have now, but the difference is that the collection can become much bigger and richer.

Option one or two?

Would this option mean the url-avatars are unique to a single user?
If so, then I'm for option two.
I know it may not be pleasant to nanny those uploads but imagine
the circumstance of allowing all possible avatars. Even if
misuse is punished I wouldn't want to watch over it.
