[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thank you for the examples, and I do understand what you're saying, but dimension (size in px or inches) really doesn't have to be a factor in image weight (size in KB or MB). You can have an image that will fill your entire screen but be only 10 kb. You can have a 20X20 px image that's 500 kb. It's much more about the way the image is structured and formatted than about its dimension. So, there is really no reason why you can't still have an avatar under the 150 kb size limit. That is a very generous weight, even for a 100 X 100 image. And, since transparency adds almost nothing to an images size, I don't think the transparent field around the 60 X 60 Yuku avatar is the reason for the increase in size after the image is uploaded.
There is a script in the Community Scripts library, called "Image Tamer", that the niketalk admin may be able to adapt for use in restricting the dimension of avatars, if he wants to do that.
CSS and HTML are not my strong point, so I'm going to refer you to the Yuku Skins and CSS help board:
http://skins.yuku.com/
Feel free to post there. They will be able to tell you far more about your options in designing avatars and keeping them within the weight limit than I can. They may be able to explain why an image's weight may change when it's uploaded or downloaded. The niketalk admin can also go there to get help with dealing with this issue from the board management end, if he wishes to do so, including adapting the Image Tamer script if such an adaptation is possible.
If we can help you with anything else, please let us know.

So with this "image tamer" you're able to restrict the dimensions of avys, right? Still thinking about making 100x100 and 60x60 avysavailable to those who want it? I still want avys to contain animated .gifs like we used to. Where we were able to capture a whole basketball play... not someclip of a guy already midway in the air, dunking it, and then the avy ends before he hits the floor. Who wants that? You don't capture the moment quite aswell. Please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks for working on it holden... I just haven't heard anything on the matter for a while and yeah.But it's reassuring that you're working on it. I really do appreciate it.
Given NT's well known aversion to fake kicks, it's obvious to me that the mods could not possibly, under any circumstances, find any other way on God's green Earth to make NT happen without these offensive ads.
Spare us the snark. It makes it very difficult to find anything redeeming or valuable about your posts. They seem obnoxious for the sake ofbeing obnoxious, rude for the sake of rude. You don't know what the staff goes through and you're not being reasonable in your expectations and ifyou're unwilling to LISTEN to the staff members, there's no point in even discussing this with you.
1. We block the ads as soon as we can. Sorry, we're not perfect.
2. Go find me an efficient revenue stream we can add TODAY that doesn't rely on some sort of automation. You're making an awful lot of assumptions,and your only excuse is "well, uh, i don't know about advertising, but there has to be SOMETHING better in this big wide world of ours!" That's just plain lazy argument - not to mention unfair.
3. Honestly, we owe the sneaker industry nothing. Let them defend their own copyrights. They should consider whatever work we voluntarily do on that front tobe an absolute blessing - because we are in no way required to do so. Let them take it up with google, let them take it up with the counterfeiters. We'revolunteers, we make nothing on this site and donate all our ad revenue above the cost of hosting to charity. We're not responsible for protectingniketalk's copyrights and yet we spend an awful lot of our time as it is blocking fake ads from our list.
We are working - and working hard - to add those sites to the block list. Google doesn't give us much in the way of help, nor does Nike for their relativelack of vigilance. They could get them blocked globally from Ad Sense if they wanted, one would think. We're doing more than we have to do - and for freeI might add - all to catch flak?
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness. We're already working hard on the problem. If you want to help, you're welcome to send us a list ofcounterfeit sites you come across and we'll have them blocked.
