You guys might want to specify a maz avatar size so it doesn't get scroll bars stuck on it.

Mine is 140x117 or something like that.

Thanks...things look good so far.

And thanks for having a geetar. :thumbup:

the max size is 140x140.

however, depending on your screen size, people will get scroll bars on the avatars when viewing the forum.

i have a ~14" screen on my laptop, and i get scroll bars on anything over 120 wide in the avatar field.

also, you can select your font and screen width at the top right of the forum (every page) by selecting the different "A" and the different rectangle that matches your screen. the rectangle on the far right is the "float" selection that set's the width according to your resolution and screen size automatically.

Yep, really all the avatars should get limited to 120 x 120 to make sure there's no scrolling on any screen size. I changed mine to be within the 120 limits for exactly the same reason.

I agree with the 120w avatar thing. I imagine I should fix my own avatar to match this. >opens Photoshop<

yeah, I noticed that some of the text was running off the page, and I had to scroll the page to the righ to read the text. Seems, the Avatars should be limited, if indeed that is whats causing the issue.

Look in the very right hand corner at the top....click on "fluid width"
That should stop the scrolling issue for you.

FLUID WIDTH seems like it should be the default. Thanks for pointing this out!

I agree, you can put that in the suggestion box for Cebby.

I can't seem to find the spot where I can upload an avatar - or add a signature for that matter. I did search and got this thread. Thoughts?
