Why only 64x64

[rockpile]

Is it because of server space or what I am not trying to complain but everytime I see an avatar that I want it is too large.

Maybe I am missing something here but I replied to the o minister of avatars and no one responded to me.

Anyway I was just curious if in the future maybe we could enlarge the size? Thanks Rockpile

Why not just resize them? Try this free online gif tool:

omega31 is right on. just resize it!

A program I usually use to resize images is XnView (freeware!)

Open the image, press Shift + S to resize (and save).

I've found that 64x64 is a pretty generous size considering that none of the other forums I visit allow avatars that large. Still, making them any bigger just doesn't make sense to me - larger images can be a real killer on a slow connection..

Yeah, load times with big ol' avatars = snoooooze.

Same with sigs = snooooooooooooooze

The minister will take care of all your avataring needs

the size here is very big, for what it is.. most forums, my avatar is all scrunched and nasty

yeah rockpile you just have to keep bugging us ministers. we tned to be slow.

64x64 is large enough for most avatars. You will find a good scaling routine provides the best resizing option. GIMP's internal scaler offers great results IMO.
