Drew, askmetostay323's avatar seems to be a bit larger than 10 hex 100, or so it appears here.
It is kind of making it harder to read some threads. Did you install this part at the new server yet?

That thread looks fine to me. Has it been fixed already?

On that subject: PornActorForHire's location text increases the width of the poster info column.

Could some sort of max-width style applied to the table field prevent this?

That would be nice. There is the occasional poster has a long name and just throws stuff off.
Still oversized on my browser, Firefox.

323 has a new avatar.
Perhaps a refresh would help. Then again, his previous one was also 10 hex 100 on my screen.

Wierd, the new one fits. I wonder what quirk caused that?

You tmay have viewed the avatar prior to resizing. There's a brief period during the upload process where the full-size image resides on the drive. If your browser fetches the images before resizing it will be cached that way for 24 hours. It's really a fluke type of thing though. The window of oppurtunity for this is quit small, like a second or two at most.

It could also happen if the image resizing code wasn't able to access the drive for some reason and it left the full-sized image in place.

It also might happen if a person's browser doesn't allow a script to navigate to a different page or honor the meta refresh method.

I just took the plunge & added an avatar. As you can see it is pretty small. Much smaller than it is on my computer (MS paint or MS Word). Is there anything to be done?

You can use IrfanView (www.irfaniew.com) to resize your jpeg.

Yes, upload a different image. Your avatar is 10 hex 75 pixels. use a program to trim all the useless whitespace from around the image. Our image resizer doesn't know that there's a bunch of useless white space around the image.

BTW, you can always right click an image in Firefox to get it's properties. If you check the properties on your avatar you'll see that it's just as large as everyone else's.

that's a question statement.

Drew & Hardware
Thanks for tip about the icon size. I did check www.ifraniew.com but wound up using Microsofts Office Picture Manager. I have MS Office 2003 & it is part of the package.

Thanks again.
