New 12x128px avatars seems to be too big while old 40x44 were too small.

I happen to like the 128 x 128. It's large, yes,

but also very bold in a good way.

I'll second that. I like the big ones.

Derek, what kind of dog have you got there?

 

[derekinla]

Lawgem,

It's the family dog - a lovely mutt (sheperd mix) named "Flash" we rescued from the shelter when he was just a puppy. He must be like over 12 years old at this point but looks much younger than his stated age

He's also a functional doorbell as he barks whenever people are at the door, garage door opens etc... Despite his bark, he's the most mild mannered (bordering on meek) dog I know of. The latest gossip about Flash is that ge got "skunked" the other day and had to be "de-skunked" by my parents. The old tomato juice trick is an old wives tale and they had to use some hydrogen peroxide/detergent/baking soda concoction to get the funk out. I miss flash (he's 3000 miles away) so I wanted to dedicate my avatar to him

Oh, keep the big one! We don't need to look like every other forum! I *LOVE* the big pictures and especially the dogs!!!

Deb, wondering if Biscuit would be better than a cellist as an avatar

PS-Great halo icon, Leonid!!! I'm trying to work up my nerve to use it!!

Are you sure you are doing it right? For years I thought one was supposed to bathe the animal in tomato juice, then rinse. That was the method we used with our last dog (a Golden).

Recently I learned that one is supposed to let the tomato juice DRY on the dog. I doused Biscuit with tomato juice and left him outside for a few hours. (No, it wasn't winter!!) I rinsed him with a garden hose later and he was *MUCH* improved!!!

It's nice to see the details. 128/128 is nice.

OK, the peak of votes is at 96x96.

I'm switching to 96x96px let's see how you like it.

 

[mike04456]

I still like the 128x128 better.

We still can come back to it

I voted for the 64x64, but the 96 is a great compromise, I think, between what everyone wants.

Oh, sure. It's fine for YOU! YOUR gosh darned avatar is a ROCK! Probably tsavorite!!! What if YOU had the entire figure of a cellist as your avatar and someone suddenly shrank her? How would YOU like it? Especially if you only MADE the avatar because Leonid had made the avatars 128x128? Answer *THOSE* questions!

You can easily resize your avatar on your own AGBF..then re-load into the system so it appears proportional.

I still like 128 x 128
