In progress Ginormous avatars? No thank you.

Post by KemicalCandy Wed Aug 16 2017, 02:01

Can anybody tell me how one of my members successfully uploaded an avatar of the size 500x500 pixels when the maximum size in my ACP is set at 160x200 pixels? This was a great thing to open up my forum to.

Since it appears that somehow the ACP's max limit isn't working, does anybody have a CSS code that I can apply to my forum that will keep avatars under 160x200 pixels but still retain proportions?

Thank you.

It was just a 500x500 image of a purple avatar girl, but I immediately removed it and got it fixed because it was a major issue to the appearance of our forum threads.

I was reading around and saw that uploading an image through the "Link to an off-site Avatar :" option could be the cause? Why would that method of uploading avatars bypass the size limit?

Hello,

I believe it could be because when you use our uploader, it automatically re sizes it to the size you selected, when someone links to an image it doesn't re size it cause it doesn't have the actual file to keep it in proportion. This is just an educated guess, I am not 100% sure this is the case.

As brandon said the system fails to resize the avatar for some reason. Anyway, this CSS code should resize any avatar to a given size:
Code:
[alt="avatar"]{
width:200px;
height:300px;
}
You have to modify 200 and 300 to whatever values you want.
If you only want to resize avatars that are bigger than the limit, you can use this code:
Code:
[alt="avatar"]{
max-width:200px;
max-height:300px;
}
Again, 200 and 300 can be modified.

If the codes don't work, post your forum's link here.
