So what's the deal with the custom avatars? We cannot have them anymore after selecting one from the gallery? I have been tricked....

I believe you can spend money to get one, but I am not sure if that still works.
Do not fret- there's rumor of a coming avatar purge so you'd have lost it anyway... maybe.

So, there's no need to resize the avatars anymore?

Ideally, submitted avatars should be 96 px wide. Otherwise xenforo uses some crappy filter (and I mean really crappy, not a good filter like, say, lanczos) to scale them up or down.

In this case, I will resize the Psychonauts avatars myself using lanczos and then upload them to the gallery.

EDIT. spekkio Added. :salute:

Bullshit. I mean, true, but:
Old avatard (150x150), uploaded by me manualy (I still use this one) scales nicely to the zoom level of your browser. Just try (ctrl&+ or ctrl&- in firefox).
New avatard (96x96) looks like shit when scaled up.

BBS sux and sysop is a fagit.

Fair enough, I didn't take the browser's zoom level into account since I don't think I ever zoom in when browsing the Codex.

So I guess that means avatars > 96px are fine, too. (Although I take no responsibility in case xenforo decides to make them look like shit!)

In other news, I've added some more Wizardry avatars; even more coming soon.

EDIT: spekkio The Psychonauts avatars in the gallery are now 150x150. I hope you're happy.

Nobody cares about the zoom level of your browser.

The missing image for certain avatars on the forum home page and thread icons, is that a known issue? Think someone mentioned it already, but only in reference to .gif

For example:
