When I first saw it I was like ”Woah! What happened??! What did I do?!?” I think they are a little too large.

smack's avatar

they are a little too large. i like keeping my face nice and small :(

ragingloli's avatar

Fabulous. Now my true beauty can be seen by all za warudo!

fireinthepriory's avatar

I lurve it! I think they are just the right size. Big enough to see detail without making our profiles look strange. (Also, @tyrantxseries, I think bits of yours may be missing whether it’s big or small – they have to be squares, so it may have gotten cropped.)

MissAusten's avatar

I think I need a new avatar!

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

Jeff Goldblum looks really creepy when he’s that big.

troubleinharlem's avatar

Mine doesn’t show up.

SpatzieLover's avatar

@troubleinharlem I can see Alice just fine & dandy…curious and curiouser if you can’t! :D

rangerr's avatar

I like the idea, but mine is part of a bigger picture. It makes more sense when you see the entire thing. Even though the part it cropped to is cool.
I’ll have to change it now.

DominicX's avatar

Well, it’s okay, but my picture was small to begin with, so now it’s all fuzzy. I’m going to have to change it to a bigger one.

avvooooooo's avatar

I wish it was just a TAD smaller. I can’t use my favorite picture, it gets all fuzzy. :(

Stupid dead computer with that original pic on it.

rockstargrrrlie's avatar

I like it because now I can actually see the picture :)

It was rather like stepping into the shower expecting the water to be warm, but, unbeknownst to you, the water heater broke so you get a slap in the face with ice cold spray.

It isn’t bad at all, but it was a shock.

Unfortunately, my avatar is all fuzzy now. OTOH, it could be that it is covered with fur.

DominicX's avatar

Finally I can use this camping picture. All its value was lost when no one could see the big version..

I just think that people will be posting slightly bigger pictures now.

robmandu's avatar

< < trying a new one for a bit.

casheroo's avatar

It’s okay. I, too, thought it was something wrong with my computer at first.

rangerr's avatar

Until I can find one that looks good both big and small, I’ll stick with one that looks super cute big.

MissAusten's avatar

One good thing about it is that, as I’m clicking on people to get a better look at their avatars, I’m noticing some who aren’t in my Fluther, but should be, and adding them as I go! And also becoming too sleepy to construct coherent sentences.

Tink's avatar

@DominicX You’re cute :)

trailsillustrated's avatar

does it support animated avitar like my hitler rock head?

shilolo's avatar

I wish this feature could be adapted to body parts. ;-) So small, suddenly, so BIG…

DominicX's avatar

I still think the avatars in the comments should be a little bigger. Not much bigger, but just a tad bit bigger. 40×40 is not much.

smack's avatar

yeah, don’t mind me while i upload 2983 new photos, trying to find a good one that will look big. hahahah.

rangerr's avatar

@smack That’s what I’m doing.

Foolaholic's avatar

I rather like it. Doesn’t change my picture all that much, but I think it’s a good size.

Jeruba's avatar

Hurray!

J0E's avatar

I think they are kind of obnoxiously big now. Half the size would be plenty.

andrew's avatar

@shilolo I’ve got a serum that can do that.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

@andrew You’ve also got quite a mustache there.

rangerr's avatar

Is there a limit on how many times you can attempt to change your picture? I know you can only have 4 saved, but it’s not letting me change it anymore.

filmfann's avatar

Me likey.

The_Inquisitor's avatar

I think it’s cute. I opened the window and a big yellow kitty was staring at me. :P (ie: my avatar)

ubersiren's avatar

I like it.

augustlan's avatar

After the initial “Whoa Nellie!” moment, I like it. Mine is all fuzzy though. Quick, someone make me a new one! Since I am clueless as to how to do that. :(

aprilsimnel's avatar

Fortunately, you still can’t see my zits!

Dog's avatar

Me likes! Hey @blondesjon- can you get me a bigger one of mine? I tried to make it bigger but alas it is now dazed and confused.

@andrew Go go movember! My sig other is participating too!

forestGeek's avatar

After 3 pumpkin beers, everything is perfect just the way it is!

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

I like them. I even changed my avatar pic to show off my blue eyes better.

rangerr's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra Trade me eyes? Kthnx.

Tink's avatar

I got a new one thanks too @Foolaholic :)

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@rangerr other than the color, you wouldn’t want them, I am extremely near sighted. I took my glasses off to get this picture.

rooeytoo's avatar

Town Dog looks gorgeous at any size! And now you can see the bows in her ears and her bow tie as well.

Fred931's avatar

I had to change my 40×40, but this one looks a lot better.and just to irritate gailcalled, awesome.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

OMG…I just found this. I LOVE IT!!!! No, they’re not too big! Some avatars you can’t even tell what they are. Bendrew…leave it this way. This is wonderful!!! gotta go see daloon’s butt LOLL

arnbev959's avatar

The first profile I saw after this was implamented was uberbatman’s, which looks completely awesome.

I like that they’re bigger, but in some instances they seem too big. Like @J0E said, half the size would have been just perfect.

galileogirl's avatar

Maybe people will be more creative now thatthe avatars are clearer. Mine is much cuter, daloon-yikes!

avvooooooo's avatar

Did they intentionally set out to have them bigger than all sites including facebook? I wish they were a little smaller. I think they’d still be big and effective, but that people could use their old avatars when its not a possibility with them this big.

SpatzieLover's avatar

I likes them all BIG cuz I had to keep doing the “View Image”, erase _thumb, hit enter thang to see every ones pritty faces, and now I can actually view the atlas when needed ;P

forestGeek's avatar

hehe, now we can see that @galileogirl didn’t pay for her avatar! Yar! ;)

SpatzieLover's avatar

I always thought @galileogirl‘s avatar was of a dirty little girl with her finger in her nose…LIKEY the new avatars, again ;P

andrew's avatar

@avvooooooo Same size as facebook. Smaller, actually, since they’re square.
