New avatars will be set to 500x250, but will display at a smaller size. The reason for this is to have high resolution avatars for devices that continue to improve. (High resolution phones and tablets for example.) The avatars will no longer allow animations. (No more gifs! Booo, yes I know.) You will however have a nice interface to upload any file and crop it to fit within the space so it will be easier to get your avatar set for less savvy users. We are taking away the file size constraint as images will all end up in the same relative file size range, which will be larger than the current site, but not by much.
I was excited to re-up my team membership and choose a brand new flashy avatar until 'i read this. Ok, this sucks. I agree, I really like my avatar of Roger the cat, and there are a lot of clever gifs on here. |

One suggestion - Wait until after Black Friday (perhaps even after Cyber Monday) before taking it live.
The deal threads will likely be smoking the servers during those times and a changeover with people trying to figure out how stuff works and where stuff is would be frustrating. |

In here too. You guys and those flashy avatars.
Long story short, we wanted to create a kick ass tool to handle creation of animated avatars easy for everyone. Well that's not going to happen for a while, so when we made the decision we added normal support for animated avatars. (Yes, it's live right now for beta testers.) The new file size limit is 40k, but the images must be properly sized to be uploaded. So what you have now is two options for making an avatar. 1) Create your own and upload it to the site. It must be the proper 500x250 size and under 40kb. 2) Upload a 2MB JPG or PNG and use the new avatar creation system to zoom and crop the image with a couple mouse clicks and then have it create the avatar for you. Few more bug fixes went in tonight as well. I am hoping for release next week. The site, while different, is not a massive change in the sense of where things are located. It's actually almost the same to use, with a few exceptions. The first is the menu, but it's much better, although mouse hover driven now. The second it the post editor, which has merged BBCODE and WYSIWYG so you can toggle between the two to preview your post. Again, most things were made easier, faster, and smoother. |
