I thought 120 was a bit too big for the topic list page, but if this is a common opinion ? I can change it.

VOTE ! Well there is no poll but COMMENT !

I'd say either 80x80 or 120x120.

God you're right, I was thinking for something else when I posted that :lol:

I'd say keep it at 100, it can't "pixelate" that much :S

I never use more or recommend to use more than 99x99. It's more than enough in my opinion :)

Except in this case, where they actually made avatars a part of the page and not just another boring image in the corner.

I think it looks nice.

( the screenshot is from an invite-only torrent forum, thats why I covered certain things. )

100x100 is fine. Not too big, not too small, just fine.

That's what I thought ;) I tried 120 when I first set up phpbb and it took too much focus.

They use a default avatar of 150x150px.

I just took a print screen of a random topic, and it just happened to be the Swedish sub forum new years thread where all the drunk swedes posted weird stuff related to new years eve.
