DOS Games Discussion

Insead of having to search over the internet for a picture that is less than 100x100 couldnt you have dosgames shrink the picture so it fits perfectly??

We had that in IB, and it made the pics SUCK.

ya, becuase it seems to me that it also stretched images < 100x100 to = 100x100 so small images looked crappy, and larger shrunken down images looked crappy... and in this case, the two negatives didn't come out as a positive.

Wally: I have this program called Irfanview that automatically shrinks pictures to fit *AND* keeps them in scale so they don't get stretched. E-mail me if you want to send you it.

Or use adobe photoshop like the rest of the modern world.

Couldnt you make the picture size 150x 150 max??

They're just recommended limits. 100x100 is quite small- I'd say about 1/4 of the people with avatars have over 100x100. Also the only way you can resize is by making a smaller copy on the server. The only time you can restrict is through Avatar Uploads, removing Remote.

really didnt know that!!!

Although someone's probably made a mod somewhere. I'll check phpBBHacks.com when they're back up. What would be better is that you can manually resize it- it has to print the <IMG> tag anyway.

NEW!- Fixed the <IMG>.

Howabouts we dont. Theyre fine.

Dead wrong. My avatar is under 100x100, and it's not small. Also, 100x100 (or 150x150 now) *IS* the absolute maximum, not a suggestion.

i had one that was 200 px wide, remember? You can have it as big as you want with remote.
