All--

This is just a suggestion, for your "spare time".

The Forum should scale avatar images proportionally.

Having a ImageWidthMax and an ImageHeightMax is fine and understandable. However, the adjustument to max should be made and then the other dimension should be adjusted proportionally, to keep the proper image aspect.

That way, it is true that not all images would scale to a square; but, all images would scale within tolerances.

Just a small thought.

Thank you.

haha, you're funny

I can write my way out of a wet HTML bag, but what exactly are you proposing because I'm not following you

Should the forum adjust based on the size of the image? that requires the forum first to retrieve the image on the server side, something I'll never ever do.

True, though I think some other issues should be addressed first

THis forum will be rewritten with LLBLGen Pro v2 (it's now running llblgen pro v1) and asp.net 2.0 and will be provided as a sample application for v2, with sourcecode. I'll take it into account

...it turns out that my point is a bit moot because I did not notice the requirement that "Only 60x60 .jpg and .gif are accepted" in the >Profile, >User Icon, section.

However, for the record, what I was saying is that having a fixed size and shaped for the user icon (RequiredHeight x RequiredWidth) is a bit too restrictive, IMHO.

It would be more flexible to enforce bounds (RequiredHeightMax x RequiredWidthMax) instead because it is unlikely that every source image is square.

For example, as it is now with the 60x60 fixed size requirement, I have to scale my image to fit that right. Well, suppose that one has a source image that is not square. Suppose it is a rectange, such as 196x79. In this case, one can scale down proportionally to 50x41 or 60x50 but if one tries to scale that rectangle down to 60x60 it cannot be done proportonally and the resulting image will be skewed. And so on.

Anyway, this is just a small point and I think I have wasted enough time.

Thank you.

Thank GOD for Photoshop and LLBLGenPro (v2)
