Wait, we're normal people? News to me. :-)

A lot kewler. Regular members have an 80x80 limit on their avatars, moderators and donors get 100x100 (plus animation), whereas yours is 125x125. But then again, we always knew you weren't quite like the rest of us.

The thing is that super mods and admins are also limited to 100x100. I'm not quite sure why the system allowed Narue to upload something larger!

Heh, well that's news to me considering that even the site admin is as stumped as we are. ;-)

PS: Which anime is that Narue chan?

After messing around with my avatar for a little bit, my theory is that the avatar was uploaded a while ago, when DaniWeb had a larger avatar limit, and now Narue simply uploaded the URL for her old avatar. Either that or she just found a bug in vBulletin. Come to think of it, both of those are highly probable. :-)

Yeah, yeah, she's every geek-boy's wet dream and hordes of daniweb fanboys are no doubt already launching DOS attacks against my ISP - but I happen to know she can't even pump her own gas.
Wait, you Yanks have people to pump your petrol FOR YOU???? WTF.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

In New Jersey it's actually illegal to pump your own gas.

>whereas yours is 125x125
I could have sworn it was 100x100 when I uploaded it. Come to think of it, it was probably shrunk down which is why the animation didn't work originally. Heheh.

>I'm not quite sure why the system allowed Narue to upload something larger!
A change from the mod panel sidesteps the size restriction, but I honestly thought it was 100x100, so I really wasn't trying to abuse my power. gomen.

Pumping Gas: the laws vary state to state. Where I live, there are no full service stations at all.

Back on topic, one thing that irritates me about Daniweb that I haven't seen mentioned already, is that user options from time to time are removed.

Also, the impossible to navigate upside-down and backwards reverse-navigation blog comment sequence.

I find that reputation given by new members (which doesn't count for anything) is a little annoying as a lot of the people who hand out reputation are new members - so it counts for nothing. Now I am not saying that reputation is the be all and end all of this forum, but I believe it is designed to be an incentive to help others, so maybe it should be worth something. I realise that the cause of newbie rep not counting for anything is to prevent members from upping their own reps from additional accounts of course.
