Still keeping my fingers crossed

bump for justice! I cannot believe someone hasn't come up with a way to make users upload a specific size avatar.

p.s. Wish I could do this but I'm no programmer..

Bumping isn't so fun but I still have to do this. There has to be a way to restrict users to upload avatars below the specific size.. I'm still going through the HTML to see but I'm coming up with no ideas...

Thanks

I know this isn't exactly what you want, but I needed something similar. My goal was to organize each postbit so they flowed identically down the thread. To do this I wanted each avatar "area" to take up 100x of width, even if the user selected a smaller avatar size.

To do this I inserted a 100x spacer img below the avatar to keep that space always 100 pixels wide. I changed the td class to a custom one, threw in a text-align: center, and now I have a nice even column of avatars.

This may be a workaround for you until someone can solve the image size issue.

Thanks for the alternate ideas. Of course I'm going to bump this thread though because I still believe that this should be something that could be very useful in the forum community. vBulletin has maximum sizes, why not minimal sizes? Fixed avatars would be such a great feature for a forum to show consistency and organization. I'm begging you wonderful programmers, please find a way to create such a wonderful idea.

Yours truly,

I'm still in the process of looking for a way to force users to only upload a specific size avatar, no more, no less. This time I have vB 3.6.4. Would be most appreciated if someone could help me out on this

Thanks

I, too, have been looking for a way to do this. Allowing users to upload avatars up to a maximun size always ends up with a forum looking like a complete mess.

What I have been thinking of doing (if I can't find a way to force a minimum size) is to prompt the user with a message during the upload process asking if the avatar is 100x100 or whatever. The user would have to confirm that it is or receive an error message.

Especially on forums that allow larger avatars, there needs to be a way to standardize the size. Right now there is a maximum size limit. How difficult would it be to add a minimum size limit?

avatar minimum dimension hack ftw

Agreed.
