Avatar Question
This isn't really on-topic, but in reading this thread I've become more curious about our members, and I find myself clicking on their avatars to see them at a larger size. Oftentimes I'm disappointed to find that the avatars are really small.
In some cases perhaps the small size preserves anonymity, but that aside I often find myself wishing they had uploaded a larger avatar. The software automatically scales any image to the correct size. I *do* have an upper limit on the image size on disk of around 130kB, but other than that there is no limitation.
Would more people upload larger images (in terms of pixel dimensions) if I increased that limit? We have more than sufficient disk space for it, the only downside being that people with slow connections will get slow page loads when large images (in terms of bytes) are present.
Edited by Admin, : Formatting.

Would it be be possible to have a thumbnail of pictures made so the page loads with thumbnails, but clicking on them loads the original?

Would it be possible for posts to retain the name and avatar posted with, along with a note (now posting as ...)?
Yes. The member alias at the time a message is posted is recorded in the database.
