I know the size limit allows it, and I do like it, but I just want to check and see if it bothers people that I have a fairly wide and very tall avatar?

Looks fine to me

ok thanks then, I was wondering because most forums don't allow avatars anywhere near that big.

Too big for my taste to be honest, I don´t know why someone would want their picture repeated all over the place in such a size (The same goes for signatures!!) But then again I´ve always been very specific when it comes to avatars and their appearance. Since somebody else approved it already, I cant say no now but I´m just being honest when I say I think it´s too big. Sorry dude.

it's alright, I kinda think it's too big myself. maybe I'll change it sometime...?
