    If you have photoshop or basically any decent image manipulation program it can resize. You'll lose some resolution, but nothing you can do to prevent that. Oh and don't forget you have to pay to show that avatar.

    Don't like it, don't come here. Or fork over some cash to pay for the bandwidth. But, I will admit to being amused by your form of protest. Good one, dude.

    Larger avatars don't fit as well with the design.

    To tell you the truth it's not the size of the avatar that matters, it's more whether you have one or not.

    To skim down a large thread to find the most recent post is made easier by using the avatar to work out who posted last. (Admittedly it was difficult without them)

    Honestly, 40x40 is still large enough to make very nice and clear Avatars as can be seen from the avatars of many members.

    haha With a remote and all, i thought xev was female, well that or playing the crowed.

    how about a Avatar competesion, we can call it "Sciforum Composition Intriguely Reflecting Undeveloped Minds" aka SCIRUM, only rule: #maintain 40x40

    his mine i call it "bend over bitch" or "I never wear pink pants again"

    I'm not quite sure where to put the avatar competition thread.

    what about: about the members?

    it has the word 'pictures' in its description
