We can change the size. In windows, if you go to your avatar image and right click it --> Details tab --> and the image section will tell you the pixal size of the avatar. Let me know what it is and I'll chat with yoder to see if we can increase the size ... that is if it is possible based on the bulletin boards database restriction.

The past two weeks, I've acquired just over 200 posts at hawks.net, and despite the fact that I've bumped back into Greg (i.e. "Irish Greg") for the first time in three or more years — and some other long-lost PI Forum refugees — it really hasn't been much fun.
I'm very familiar with BBCode; I'm fairly confident in saying that I know how to do just about everything on it. But even so, all the neat stuff that a given site allows its participants to do doesn't mean jack-squattin'-on-a-rott with regard to how fun the site can be if there's no sense of community, no sense of family there.
In a nutshell, that, to me, is the essence of hawks.net: the opportunity, the capability to do a whole bunch of cool stuff, none of which is very fun only because there, I just feel so alone.
I guess I'm just set in my ways. Can't teach an old dogg new tricks, so they say, eh?
These are my people, and this is my home.
Rott of Ages.
Like others have said on this very thread, I also love this site because it's simplistic, the ways we navigate through and on it. Ghetto, in street-speak, this site.
There isn't a whole lot going on here in terms of design and/ or features, and — as an old-skewler who more often than not finds himself adrift in heavenly pleasant, lucid daydreams about the good ole days of the PI Forum's old format (before it sucker-punched us by adopting the Facebook milieu in April of 2011) when he's posting on hawks.net, and just trying to see his paw in front of his face amid that site's annoyingly enshrouding neon (I'd use the word Byzantine right here, 'cept I'm trying to start doing my time here by consciously not being too wordy, too pedantic) gaudiness — that's exacly the way I like it.
Based exclusively on what I've read from others on this thread, I know I'm not alone when I say that I personally think the black-and-white simplicity of this site is in and of itself one of its most beautiful attributes.
And again, then there's this site's people. My family.
This is my home, and I love it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create and maintain it, yoder my beloved friend.

Oly wrote:Some things from the thread in the main forum that I like:
Please keep it simple! I hate the extras that make it so that you only see 2 posts per page (I'm exaggerating, of course, but you get the gist).
I'll second RD's suggestion of a method of notifying you of threads you've posted in.
Another suggestion: allow us to increase the number of posts displayed on a page. I always go for the max and would be fine with 100 posts per page, as long as you have a button that takes you directly to the first unread post. I like it more than having to click "Next" all the time.
One more: you need a favicon.
Thanks!

So long folks. You're empty and pointless sports talk is of little value to me or the country. There are so many far more important things going on in the world. Apparently this corner of the world is only interested in pointless games played by vastly over-rated jocks. Enjoy your isolation.
