Standardize Avatar size?

Question

With the new bbcode up, the different avatar sizes make reading threads a bit painful. I think it might make sense to ask people to standardize to something?

What do you guys think?

mNeo · Answer

I'll be surprised if this code doesn't let the service-provider fix the width of the "Author" section. I think that's a better way of achieving consistency.

ps. I thought tino was already working on that.

kryzak · Answer

agree with mNeo on foxing the left frames, like the old boards.

bherronp · Answer

Agreed. Other boards I have been on have had a specific avatar size.

We are sorry for this everyone. We are working on fixing this.

riverripper · Answer

I think there should be a max width and set it so that everyones is crapped at that width, have that width be the same as what people without avatars have.

tino · Answer

The columns look all the same now in my browser.. Try clicking 'refresh' to update your stylesheets (they may be cached) and see if that fixes it.

mNeo · Answer

Works fine for me now. Tino, I found one more small glitch. When I modified my previous comment in this thread, the comment got modified without adding a footer like, "mNeo edited the comment at blah blah time". This footer used to get added unless the editor's comment was the last in the thread. I think that feature of adding footers was useful for obvious reasons. What do you think?

tino · Answer

Yes, a cool feature it was. I think I'm a bit too tired to think - 2am here. I hope I'll be of more help tomorrow.

Only as long as I can retain mine

Yea it all looks awesome now. Thanks tino!

nervousgmat · Answer

Sorry guys for my computer illiteracy but how do you refresh stylesheets?

tino · Answer

Just click 'Refresh' in your browser. Sometimes it appears as a self-pointing circle arrow button.

nervousgmat · Answer

Oh! For some reason i thought it was something more complicated than the F5 key... IN any case, that didn't work for me... Avatars still show up in different widths...

mNeo · Answer

You may want to try a hard-refresh (Control + F5).

tino · Answer

Well, maybe the fix I used doesn't work in your browser. I only tested in Firefox so far. Tomorrow I'll ask dzyubam to try it on Windows/IE.

nervousgmat · Answer

I'm using explorer. That's the only browser we are allowed to use at work :-)

rhyme · Answer

im in firefawx cause it rawcks.

bherronp · Answer

Ya, works in Firefox, but not IE 6.

kryzak · Answer

IE sucks... Especially IE6. I wish my company would at least switch to IE7 if they're going to force us to use it.
