What is the size you require for our avatars?

There's no real requirement, but if they are any width other than 60 pixels, they will be resized and might look funny. The width is set at 60 and the height is open.

Thanks
I was trying to post an avatar for my posts. I guess I wasn't getting the correct width 'cause they sure did look "funny".

Yes, I know they can look very funny. I've found it works best for me to set an image at the size for any particular community. Images don't size all that well when using only the browser height/width restrictions. They look better when they're already the size.
I'm curious though what your avatar could be.

Okay I see now why the linked avatar pics were looking so funny. The height was open for local avatars, but for remote the sizes were set at width=60 height=100. I took the height field out, leaving it blank. Now we'll test to see how it works.

No that seems to set the height at 1. I'll have to fiddle with the code some more I guess. Also in the profile it is still set at 60x100 for remote pics.

There now it works I think, at least for the forums. I set the height at zero, which the coding sets up to leave as nothing the whole call for the height. So that's good. Pics should look better now, no matter what the size.
Let's just try not to make them too big of a file size that would slow down the forum page loads. Anything up to about 100 kb is okay, with about 50 or less better. For dialups, the smaller the better.
