I'm assuming that posts of only a couple few lines might have excess dead space in the Y direction, although the smaller the screen resolution, the more lines are needed to accommodate for the same amount of text. Honestly, I had a dickens of a time getting my old fluffy avatar pared down below what I had it at at somewhere around 180x160 and I loved it dearly but I ditched it shortly after I saw the post I quoted in my OP for a slightly larger version of my current avatar. Yesterday when I saw the newly posted rules, I figured out how to use Photobucket to resize the avatar to it's current size, which at 1920x2000 is incredibly diminutive so I was hoping I'd be in the clear.
But apparently I'll need to pare it down farther. I've only got 10 min to pack my lunch and leave for work though and they are kinda twitchy about photo control so I'm going to have to wait until I get back home to edit it down again on a photo sharing site.

Yeah, we're trying to accommodate those poor souls who still have low-res monitors. :D

This kinda thing is one very cool thing with Flickr. There's an option to view all sizes of a photo, and it goes from original to avatar--automatic sizing. Did that with Whingnut's avatar--original size is something like massiveomghuge. Avatar size is as close to 100x100 it can get without changing the scale.

I also have another version I did myself using Paint in windows. I will admit I had to fiddle with it for about 10 minutes to get it right but it really wasn't all that hard.
Electric MacButters:
Is there any way to just upload an image from my hard drive? I try to avoid all those social network type sites (fewer Nigerian princes that way.)
