Thanks but not going to download a ton of extensions.

Design-wise, it makes more sense to have a uniform margin around the image. With 150 width, the image will be offset to the left by a small amount and looks far worse (to me) than having a 160 width image that has the same margin on both sides.

Then rather stick with 80x80 because 160 width looks horrid.

7 Pages?

What's wrong with 80*80? Nothing

I never understood it at first, but people want to have 150px wide by 80px tall, because there is that tiny space between your signature and the dividing line of the topic.

Just a small increase to improve the look of things I guess.

I think they represent the possibilities better than that chick with the indistinguishable background.

that looks nice, I expected 160 giving som whitepsace to look better. actually this looks better. it makes it look more like it's the header of the user info sort of.

I added a highlighted selected area to show how it would impact the current forum standard.

the green rectangle sizes are: 150x80 , 160x80 , 160x90 , 160x120

I liked 150x80, but the 160x80, and 160x90 look great. The 160x120 looks great too, but it might be too much of a change.

the 16x9 avatar is probably the best. It's like your own wide screen movie without the black bars.

160x90 = 16:9ar <--- doesn't seem to push anything around. not as scary.

160x120 = 4:3ar <--- clearly intrudes down into the user title and pips area. for some OMG the sky is falling!!!

80x80

Enough said (Y)

I agree (Y)

This has been discussed many times before, and these topics are usually dealt with quickly. I think having avatars any bigger makes the forum look less professional. And as for making the avatars wider, I don't think it looks too good - it looks less professional too.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

It could be better for the forum, but like a lot of people said it could take away from the professionalism of it too. I wouldn't mind having a bigger avatar, but I don't think i'm going to change mine anytime soon.

160x90 looks good, but this could turn out good or bad....

didn't want to create an new thread so

how do you change the letters under your avatar?

Control Panel > Edit Profile Information (under the Personal Profile header) > put in your own title in the Custom Member Title box.

Haha, woahhh, it might have been better to create a new thread to be honest ;) Or even PM a member of staff.

Anyway, go to "Control Panel", then "Edit profile information", from the sidebar, and it's the first box there :)

EDIT - Ooops, rm20010 beat me to it :p

cool thanks i was getting kind of angry looking for it

Big avatars take up more screen space without adding a lot of content value. They also tend to make sites look less professional, IMO. I'm fairly happy with 80x80.

I would rather have a 100 x 100 avatar than these huge signature images. That is what really takes up space, not adding 20 x 20 pixels to an Avatar. ;)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
