1K to Whoever Can Solve My Problem.
I posted this yesterday, but had no responds. >_<

How do I make my avatar bigger?
I've noticed a couple of users have avatars larger than 50x50 pixels.
For example: C0FFINCASE has an avatar image of 80x80.
I want my avatar as big as it can get. I think I've even seen 100x100 px.

He said his uploads it at a larger size, but it gets resized. I assume it's determinate on post count. It's probably a 50x50 limit until you reach UG Bronze, then it allows you to use 100x100. I can see you're in UG Bronze now, so try uploading it again.

EDIT:
Nevermind.
>Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).
I seem to have this limit too.

Yeah it's strange.
Some people have certain privileges over others?
Probably something wrong with the avatar uploading thing.
I just don't like how my avatar is tiny.

@GAMEchief : It was done during UG Bronze.

What was done during UG Bronze?

That's how I got mine to be bigger, I just resized it to be larger. I this its displayed at 80x80 though.

Trying to make my avatar larger.

@C0FFINCASE : Did you upload the image from your computer after you resized it?
#8
Yes I did

Well I've tried it and still can't get it to work.
I tried resizing it, and uploading it. Didn't work.
Tried resizing it and hosting it online, put the link to the image, and it still won't work. >_<

Resizing it or uploading it from the comp isn't going to make a difference. It says right underneath the upload area that images greater than 50x50 will be resized. It's about user permissions. God knows what. Perhaps normal members have 80x80 privileges and the admins forgot to update the UG membergroups to allow 80x80 also.
#11
Thought it had something to do with the file size.
I guess I'll have to wait till the Admins fix it, if they ever do.
I think a max avatar size of 100x100 would be more reasonable.
#12
There are limits on both file size and dimensions. But as long as the dimension limit is 50x50 (which it is), the file size is irrelevant. If the file is too big, I'm pretty sure you just get a "your file is too big" error.
#13
So who won the 1k?
#14
The maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).
You need to make the image so that the file size is smaller than the 50x50 and then your image will display at size that it is...I think.
Because my image is 6.24 KB and 100x100

(whichever is smaller)

I'm contemplating that you uploaded your 100x100 image before you were UG Bronze. The admins probably set the permissions for regular members to be 100x100 and forgot to set it for UG. When you got to UG, your max dimensions dropped to 50x50, but it didn't mess with you avatar since it was already set before you got to UG. Makes sense from a programmer's perspective. And from a what-an-admin-is-likely-to-do perspective.
