This is because lame old IE is yet to support the max-width CSS property.

Other browser do support this and IE should support it, which means that the avatar will be any size up to the max size.

To prevent display problems the avatar will not overlap into the actual post.

Admin and moderators can remove avatars that are the wrong the size.

boRg, a suggestion that might resolve this!!
 
In my gallery I upload and image and the exit script generates a thumb and re-saves the image as a thumb as required (in proportion to the origional image or not - as you require).
 
To do this I've used the image re-sizer dll from http://www.crazybeavers.se/ (in the products page).... You could resize each time the image is accessed if you want but for performance reasons I prefer the thumb cache option that I use....
 
Check it out cos it's well cool and is a good work arround for the IE issue (and will also save disk space by reducing the side of the image on the fly)!!!  I've example ASP code that I've used for my gallery if you need any but I'm sure you can work it out Big smile.
 
1 question from me (because I've not tried) - will it work with animated .gif's etc - I think so but I don't know perhaps there is more on the site about that....
 
Also, I saw a post a few days ago that you replied to about converting images to hex for captcha - if I remember correctly this dll can output in an XML format and perhaps that may help (I think the XML output was HEX but you would need to check on that).
 
Cheers....

The only time it is an issue is with the height within posts.

Also new avatars users will see a preview when they add the avatar so should see that the size is an issue.

The avatar sizing is always an issue and I'm afraid that there is no-way to make it happen and keep all users happy.

Once IE gets it's act together it should no-longer be an issue.

The other thing you need to change:

Line 834 in forum_post.asp

find where it says:

id=""avatar""


and change it to:

class=""avatar""


It's an incorrect use of the ID attribute.. ID's should always be unique.
