Crazy Lee Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well, if there wasn't one more thing for me to dislike completely about this board software, it's this. You cannot have a rectangular picture for your avatar. If you try to upload one, it forces you to crop the image as a square. And trust me, I tried to move the bottom and the top of the crop box to make it a rectangle. No go. The forum resizes avatars to 90 x 90 px for the forum, and 120 x 120 px for the profiles... even downsizing the image file to 90px along the longest length it still cropped it to a box. I doubt you guys can change this, or do anything about it, but it is irritating. I'm thinking the board software writers were trump fans or something. My current avatar is square and just has transparencies on either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless/Nameless Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Don't most sites operate like that?? I guess I wouldn't know; I always use squares/transparencies... Odd-shaped avatars never look that great anyway. Edited March 2, 2016 by Endless/Nameless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Lee Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Are you kidding me? My avatar is the greatest avatar in the country. The world! You must be a terrorist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless/Nameless Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Y-you're a terrorist!!! >:c What I mean is, when a bunch of people start using odd-shaped avatars of all sorts of oblong sizes, it can make things look really messy. Yours looks fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Lee Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 The newer ones maybe. I remember using rectangular ones ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vae Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Every forum I've ever been on has used square avs. Hell, most websites in general that I've used have had square avs. At least the transparency actually looks like transparency, and there isn't a border around the avatar space. Been on ones that did that, and that was always fucking annoying for like little pixel avatars and shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Lee Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have been on boards where you can update a rectangular avatar as long as the longest dimension is no bigger than the maximum size the board allows. If the max size was 100, then you could have one 100x80 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
