To get your avatar to be the actualy size of the avatar and look right in the messenger, open up picture.php in the package here and remove:
Code:
style="width:80px;height:80px;"
so it looks like
Code:
<?php
include "include.php";
echo '<img src="http://'.$FORUM_URL.'/image.php?u='.$_REQUEST["uid"].'">';
?>
this will make the avatar load as actual size. if the avatar is huge tho, i would assume its gunna make the messenger look wierd. i havent tried a large size image, but ya.
