Oh, I see someone has already suggested that in another thread...

Simply put, if an avatar is too big, automatically resize it to the maximum size possible instead of a redirect to a page that says you can only have an avatar that is 128x128 or smaller. That is all.
I'm fine with waiting till Mahz gets to the size, and he probably knows about this, but I just want to remind him and feel like I'm at least slightly helping:
It is easy to force pictures, such as the avatars, to be a fixed size once uploaded with the HTML code for an image:

<img src="[pic url]" width="[number pixels]" height="[number pixels]">
The square brackets are not included, I just have them so you can see.

Of course this could lead to some pictures being disproportionate (if they were not originally square), but if you don't want to go into code to detect the ratio, you could do one, or both, of two things: You could let users know that the ratio is forced to a square and recommend they upload square(ish) pictures, and/or you could give them and option to turn off the size-forcing, but then they would have to once again comply with the 128x128 pixel limit.
Seriously... unicorns?
Hmm yeah, tags do sound better. Sorry for posting this, I should probably have thought about that. Not everyone is honest...
I have an idea for an optionally anonymous (since people tend to be more honest when anonymous) rating system for RPs and other threads out of 5 stars (maybe with half-stars).

This would be very useful for sorting through the masses of new RPs and RP ideas there are.

Though, even this system might eventually get too crowded with 5/4.5 star threads over time, so there should be a filter feature to only display threads with a new post within a certain amount of time, or having been made within a certain amount of time before the search.

It would also be useful for users to like (and dislike?) individual posts, though they needn't have the star system, merely display the amount of likes and dislikes. And those shouldn't have the option of being anonymous, I think.

Let me know what you think, and thanks for your time, Mahz and other readers.

Anyway, it all depends on how much interest there is in this if I move it. If you want I could give you the link and you could check it out on the other site and possibly join that site. Up to you.
Wow this looks very interesting. I would join if school wasn't so busy. Good luck witht he RP anyway. :)
Yeah, I also got interested in Divinity II mainly because of the dragon stuff. I really like dragons (Which might be obvious from my sig and my profile pic (when I can upload it. XD)). I Still need to play The first two, but own them and Dragon Commander has too advanced graphics for my laptop (meh, the lowest Windows Experience rating on my computer is graphics at 5.7 out of a scale from 1.0 to 7.9). I hope origional sin will run. It looks awesome!

So, which ones have you played?

Anyway, I suspect that others might not have shown up since there are so many new interest checks, and it is hard to miss them, especially since there is no search feature when you can just type "dragon" and find some of the most epic RPs ever. XD So I just need to keep bumping this thread regularly to keep it up in the list of interest checks.
