Standard Avatar Size?

[Former Member]

Hello!

I may of missed it somewhere but is there a way to make the avatars all standard size? Such as 100x100? When I upload a new avatar it becomes huge and i have to resize it and it messed with the margins of the mini profile. Is there a way to make it standard for the whole site?

thanks!

Hi @greedsins,

Thank you for your patience.

There is a way to do what you're asking. I assume you are trying to get avatars to look good with a customized theme?

You'll need to edit your theme's CSS. (Go to the Colors & Styles page of your theme, and click on the Style Sheet tab.)

On lines 1157 and 1159, you'll see this (your theme may have different line numbers, but look for code that looks similar to this):

.avatar_size_default, .avatar_size_default embed, .avatar_size_default object, .avatar_size_default > div, .avatar-wrapper.avatar_size_default > div > div { height: 150px; width: 150px; }
.avatar_size_default img, .avatar_size_default default { max-height: 150px; max-width: 150px; }

You need to replace the '150px' with whatever size in pixels you want the maximum avatar size to be. This will limit the size of all avatars, the ones you upload to your forum as well as anything that users upload themselves.

Hopefully my explanation made sense - the CSS editor is an advanced feature. I'll see if we can possibly add an avatar size option to the Visual Editor.

Oh thanks!! That helps!

That does not help.  The space where the avatar sits is to narrow.

Hi dano,

If you're enlarging avatar sizes, you may need to perform a couple of additional steps. View this topic and follow the instructions provided in the "IF you are making the avatar's bigger" section of the post and this should take care of the rest
