Upgrade you? You mean like to Gamespot Plus or Total Access? If you want to become a subscriber here, then you'll have to pay for it yourself.

It appears as if some users have avatar images larger than 80x80. There's an algorithm that can be used to shrink those down that are too large on one side and keep the aspect ratio. Written in a C-like fashion, it goes something like this:
void scaleAvatar()
{
float scaleFactor; // adjustment factor needed

if ((avatar.width > 80} || (avatar.height > 80)) // if too large
{
if (avatar.width > avatar.height) // find the biggest dimension used
{
scaleFactor = 80.0/(float)avatar.width; // this is the scale factor
avatar.width = 80; // set avatar's width properly
avatar.height = (unsigned char)((float)avatar.height/scaleFactor + 0.5); // round result
// set the avatar's width and height through the 2 variables set above
}

else // the other dimension is used instead
{
scaleFactor = 80.0/(float)avatar.height;
avatar.height = 80; // set avatar's height properly
avatar.width = (unsigned char)((float)avatar.width/scaleFactor + 0.5); // round result
// set the avatar's width and height through the 2 variables set above
}
}
}
This is the general algorithm. You'd need to convert it to PHP first though, but I don't know PHP. The resizing is only done if either the width or height exceeds 80 (put a variable in there if you want to later change the size to, say, 100 in the future then just change that one variable. This runs for each avatar.

Edit:  fixed comment in code.

All peoples avatars are gone, they don't show up below their name. Video comments and comments in general looks weird now, text is all over the place. Nice update indeed ...

[QUOTE="bulletproofcow"][QUOTE="fastesttruck"]Well what is done is done, Gs dont care much aobut what the smaller group likes so this will be staying. IM starting to hate GS just like I hate GF.fastesttruck
Over one thing...thats pretty messed up to say the least. They made the change for a reason besides the fact that everyone wanted it. Calm down. And to everyone who's been complaining it makes the post space smaller, it doesn't. That side bar has always been that big for people's names.

No its more than just that, but this is that one thing that makes me go over the max that I can take. I realy HATE this new Icon thing. If they make it 100x100 that would be just fine with me but 80 is an odd ball size

I don't understand how that is an odd size. 100x100 wouldn't be any odder. Plus, that would probably go over the margin. I think the black excess needs to be taken out, but there has to be a way. Either make everyone's avatar 80x80 or work some other, good, idea out. Also, my avatar is far too zoomed in, by looking at it in Internet Exploer. I am not sure if you meant it to do that, since it isn't a real 80x80 picture, or if it is a glitch. I must say this is just something that needed to happen. I have missed it ever since it left in 2005.

Yes, you have to pay monthly, I don't think you can afford it.  Just stick with the normal account, its still good.

I have a suggestion:

Consider putting the profile views just below the text where it says "Member since" not directly below the avatar.

That's what I was thinking. That, or put some extra stat under that, like total minutes online...:D

I like being able to have larger avatars, but I'm not a big fan of the white border. I would much prefer a hard drop shadow.

Give it a few minutes. It may take a while for Gamespot to update your avatar.

OK if you are having really bad size issues then clear your web browsers cache

the problem i am facing is the GIF i have cant be increased in size, once it is big enough i really do not mind the size change, i will get used to it but it does feel like an average forum now, which is bad

Awesome. I was expecting a 50x50 limit, but this is good, especially for those who really wanted bigger avatars. The larger icons get automatically resized at the top right where it links to things such as your updates, but I guess that can't be helped. :?
