*** Please Resize Your Avatar: JR78, DaveTruong ***
I've run across a few members' avatars, lately, that are oversized. Three are exceptionally large and blow the page out.
I've taken the liberty of resizing them and hosting them on postimage. You are welcome to use them from there or re-host them. If you don't know the drill, right click on the resized image and select "Copy Image Location/Url".
ETA: Instructions on how to change your avatar are here on page 2
Here are the resized images and the member's names.

And I'll just leave this right here. This is someone's avatar (actual size) on page two of the Alton Brown thread, and believe me, when you're a few miles off shore with just barely enough Internet to open a thread, an avatar that size brings my Internet to screeching halt.

Huge pictures like those cause problems for people with slow connections and some phones.

Well, like, it's only 5248 x 2952. That's only slightly larger than the 60 x 60 that's allowed, man.

I love sarcasm. LOL.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

If anyone else notices other offenders, post them here. I'll resize them and post them in the OP.

The man's tryin to keep you down boys!
Those of you enjoying Sigforum from the fringes of civilization ought to know you will be penalized for your paltry download speeds, as you should, as it is righteous to be self sufficient, and not look at those with superior internet connections with envy, or try to bring them down with your struggle to observe digital photos of moderate size.

I may buck the trend... make my avatar too small!

Adding new member Steyn with an extremely large avatar to the list. See the OP.
