no although technically yours is taller than 200
at least personally i wouldnt mind giving avatars a larger vertical limit... obviously this board cant handle ones that are too wide so 200 as a horizontal limit is sensible but a little more vertical real estate wouldnt hurt the readability much imho

Well I think it makes sense since most people have vertical scroll wheels on their mouses and it's not too troublesome to move up and down a page, as opposed to having to manually click-and-drag to scroll horizontally. bleh.

Even so, it'll probably just cause people to place huge images in their signatures instead.

I hate scrolling sideways. I got a new microsoft wireless mouse though. It has a scroll button that can be pushed sideways. So its easier now but I still hate the fact that an avatar makes me scroll sideways.

Here is a link to the mouse. I got it on sale at staples

I have the same mouse and I do use that feature for scrolling left and right. I also use the zoom out feature in IE when the posts have super large pictures so that way I can fit the picture on the screen.

I like the way it fits my hand. I was unsure about the angle but now when I have to use a regular mouse I think its primative.

I use the little buttons on top for copy and paste. So many times I want to copy or pase and for whatever reason I cant get the right click to show a copy or paste option. So now I just click the button.

I don't mind avatars being long either...especially because many of the pictures I use are longer than wider.

As for signatures, I try to size my pictures with a max height of 250; in this case width doesn't matter. See below.

I always thought over-sized avatars were obnoxious. Glad to see a limit put on it. However, these days my resolution is 1920x1200 so it really doesn't matter anymore. lol

how big is mine? i know mine was big.

do you actually use that full width for browsing?
for me anything too wide to read comfortably by moving only the eyes is annyoing
