one thing i have noticed though which is limiting the posting area is oversized avatars - everyone should stick to the 80x80 limit whoever they are imo
...Fair enough You take a stab at my avatar. However have You actually compared. I don't think You have.
Have a look at this image. This is a screenshot of my post here put together with a screenshot of an avatar of 80 pixels wide in a thread with no other posts so there is no other posts that influence the width of that collumn. Mine is 150 pixels wide.
Can You tell me how the posting area is limited by the size of my avatar?
