Certainly do, so was mine

but who's cheek

I'm not a technician but it may be to do with size. Previously on the old site if you magnified the an avatar it would be as fuzzy as some on here are now. The avatars now are bigger than they were on the old site and therefore maybe need to be reduced a bit, if that is technically possible.

I've just had a look on the area where you can change your avatar and it says:
It is recommended that you use an image that is at least 400x400 pixels.

It's exactly this.

Whilst replying I had a warning that I had posted to early within 9 seconds

This is an 'anti-flooding' feature to prevent repeat posts. No offence intended, but posting three times separately on the same point within seconds isn't what a forum is designed for or looking to promote. More a benefit than a problem I think.

Loftus's. Certainly made him play well last night.

Yep, I would just try to find the image on Google with the closest pixels above 400x400 and then just resize on photo gallery down to the optimum size.

Picture quality seems to be fine doing that.

Appreciate that's not always possible if the only image available is either very large or very small in the first place.

or one cant be arsed .....

Is it possible to do polls on the new site?

Yes, start a new thread. 'Post a poll' is an option right at the bottom, albeit in a light colour text (which I'll address).

Never could understand the keenness on avatars. I come on here to read and write stuff about Southend United, not to look at pictures, usually of questionable relevance.

Office mode works for me (even though I haven't been near an office for ages!).

If anyone's main concern is avatars that is itself evidence of what a good job the guys have done migrating the site. Well done indeed !!

I do like your avatar, Mick!

Cheers Mick.

I kinda like having the avatars personally - mainly in that they allow people to infer an element of individuality, but mainly because they allow us to clearly and easily identify the messenger as much as the message. But, as you say, each to their own and so long as everyone is getting an experience that suits them, job largely done!

I think a few more posters focussing on the content of the post rather than who it's been written by might be a good thing? Also I quite like the avatar-less version because it brings the poster name in line with the top of the post.

Office skin is definitely a good thing for us open-planners... although I've got 2 more weeks before I become a remote worker from my own little space.

Of course that's key, but only relevant if we think this site has a major problem with people focusing only on the poster and not the post. Happens occasionally of course (as it does in life) but I don't think it's endemic, and it's not driven by avatars.

Agreed on the line up between username and post. Will have a look into that.

The Avatar's give the pages a bit of colour and identity, as well. AGNB!

Finally here! Had to come thru the FB page as main site wasn't letting me into the forum! Then had no idea of my password and it didn't recognise my current email address so I've lost the "the" ... oh well!
