By WahrerWhat are the recommended dimensions on avatars? I can't figure it out.

Square ratio. You can upload a hi-res image and it will be cropped and re-centered and saved down to a manageable file size, which gives the benefit of having a high upload limit. It will also generate several widescreen aspect ratio images that are blurred quite a bit that I use as a UI background element.

So in theory, if you want your subject in the image to be the focal point in your avatar, make sure it's in the center of the image. Make sense?

I figured that out, I was just wondering if there was an optimal pixel resolution (250x250, 120x120, etc.) that the images ultimately got scaled down to. I know they show up a little bigger on the frontpage with recent thread posts, which is what had me wondering.
