    As I am sure you've noticed, the avatars are kind of going crazy right now. However, it looks like the new avatar size will be 170 X 170. Don't go crazy making icons just yet, though, because I am waiting for Yuku to confirm that.

    Second, Yuku has just released the new profile skin
    editor. The skin editor is a feature many of you have been waiting for. To get you started, they have added a basic skin editor tutorial. http://tutorials.yuku.com?topic=61

    Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions!

        Really? I actually think I like them better. The new profiles use 170 x 170, so I think that will probably be the new size. So, it would be like Stefan's avatar:

          To be honest I don't like them either, they're just massive!

            If it turns out that they are optional, we can do a poll or something. I haven't heard either way, though.

              If we all are going to have bigger avatars i'm sure we will get used to it and like it!

                Yeah, I think if that's the way it has to be, everyone will get used to it. 100x100 looks small, but when we were on ezboard, it was like, 50x50, which I can't even imagine, lol.

                        They are working on them. I don't think they've decided if they will change or not. We'll see, I guess. I'll keep checking in, though.

                          At first I hated them, but when I was making a new avatar I was glad I had some more space! Now I like them.

                          If they decide to keep them we should change the size of the usernames too. They are so small compared to the big avatars.

                            I think it looks ok, but yeah, I guess we'll see once they decide which way they want to go. The new profiles have 170x170, old profiles 100x100, and board specs are for unlimited height and 170 width. ::shakes head::


                            I want a bigger avatar.

                              They probably changed it to get everyone to upgrade to the new profiles. lol


                              BTW I think I saw some avatars with a larger height than 100px before?

                                  Stefan's avatar pops out. I guess we should make avatars 150x150.

                                    yes, i think 150x150 is good.

                                      Did they just add a share on twitter button or was it there before? Nice feature, now we can share the topics on twitter without using shorturls and stuff, right?

                                        I like big avatars. If you don't like so just don't make them. lol And be patient with people who loves big avatars.

                                                    Right now, if you reupload an avatar, I believe it will go back to 100 x 100. It is still not final, though. It's considered a bug. I don't know if 100 x100 is going to be the final size. I don't believe so, because the size is larger in the profiles.
