Forum suggestion: Don't scale avatars

Words can barely describe my relief at having the new forums finally in play. Seriously, the old ones were ****. However, one thing is still bugging me: the board software automatically scaling avatars to 100x100 pixels.

Now, I would be the first person in the world to recommend limiting the size of such images, but the problem is that the software also scales up images which are under the size limit, which makes them look horrible. My preferred forum avatar is a 60x60 pixel art image, but I can't use that here because it looks atrocious.

So, how about removing whatever it is that forces images to scale up as well as down? Allowing people to use smaller images - which are probably faster loading - can't possibly be a bad thing.

I definitely agree. And what IS up with that grey box behind it?

Ugh. I had been hoping I was seeing things and that it -wasn't- my avatar scaling up that I saw in the settings window.

Hilariously, I have another suggestion to append: decrease the physical size limit of signature images. They are way too big right now. If the image is likely to take up more space than a short post, it's definitely too big!
