Surely Der Is More To Avatar Sizes Dan Dis?
« on: December 16, 2004, 03:17:47 PM »
Hello

I am very pleased that Wayne and Co. changed the Amiga.org layout and scheme back to the older one (much more simpler and suitable). But the only problem i am having is the avatar sizes. I am not sure if there is a real logic reason behind this (and whether it can be fixed), but the current avatar sizes are no bigger than postage stamps! Please go back to the old 120x120 / 160x160. I don't mean to sound like a scrooge by thw way :-D

Regards,

It was made smaller with regards to people on dial-up IIRC, which is a very valid reason IMO.

The real CU_AMiGA never complains about avatar sizes. What makes you so special?

Yes that seems a reasonable matter. But how long would loading these avatars take? Is there a way around it? Like the dial-up users can resize the forums or something? (Actually i feel sorry in particular for JonoPike, who has to put up with a 28.8k connection! lol)

Right. This topic has gotten out of hand (and it wasn't even me that started it this time!). So i am going to drop the bottom line to you (like i did with Wayne). You have all asked for this:

I am the REAL CU_AMiGA. And that is the bottom line, cos CU_AMiGA said so.

There. Let that be a valuable lesson to everyone who even thinks they can take on the Greatness that is CU_AMiGA.

@CU_AMiGA

Sorry... I have to agree with the management on this
one.........
I too am on DialUp (33k) and some of the GFX takes
forever to load. :-D

"Thanks" to Wayne for realizing not everyone has
BroadBand.

Yeah. I can see your point. Maybe an option for dialup users (image sizes, dithering, etc.). While others get the bells and whistles! :-)

I respect your opinion, and admire your persistence, but you need to learn to respect my opinion as well.

Which brings me to another question. Why should I believe that you are the real CU_AMiGA?

@x56h34

I don't know whats happened to you lately? You have truly lost the plot and fallen down the dreaded trap door. It seems to me that you keep stiring up crap (between me and Cyberus, and this thread). It wouldn't surprise me that it was you that emailed me as "CU_AMiGA" (considering i got emailed from him after 3 days when i meantioned i didn't hear a peep from him). Anyhow, it was me that had the last word in that arguement.

I am the same CU_AMiGA, who posted here a year ago and signed up. I am the REAL CU_AMiGA, and that is the bottom line again.

-EDIT-

How the bleeping helll are you respecting my opinion by posting "The real CU_AMiGA never complains about avatar sizes. What makes you so special?"?

To a possible CU_AMiGA:

I just like to know who I'm talking to when I'm posting in here. No disrecpect to you or the real CU_AMiGA, but it's impossible to tell at this point which one is real and which one is not. By reading the comments that you post, to tell you the truth, it just doesn't feel like it's the real CU_AMiGA that one is talking to. The wording and the style has radically changed, which again brings me to my question, which is...how do we know that you are the real one? Prove my doubts wrong please.

Honestly. I am the CU_AMiGA everyone knows one these boards. My posting style is the same. I i still help everyone out. I cannot think of any way to prove it. Sorry.
