A house of the future
The Eco-Suite Hotel in Salzburg
The Eco-Suite Hotel by the Salzach river in the north of Salzburg is not only a superb base for the price-conscious guest in Salzburg, it is also remarkable in ecological terms. This means that the hotel also benefits from its plus-energy character. Its ingenious design and innovative energy supply concept make the city hotel into a unique ecological showcase project.
A house which generates its own energy
The Eco-Suite Hotel is planned so that its operations generate a positive energy balance. A sophisticated concept is to be found behind this plus energy quality. The hotel creates its thermal energy from the waste water that it generates. The excess heat is used to heat the existing Kolpinghaus. A waste water tank with a capacity of 22,000 litres serves as an energy buffer storage device. Over the long term, neighbouring buildings are also set to be supplied with heat that has been generated on an ecological basis.
The consistent minimising of the energy requirement also forms part of the generation of the surplus heat. On this basis, the building has been designed as a passive house. The innovative energy concept also includes the provision and use of the electricity: LED lighting is used throughout the Eco-Suite Hotel and electricity is generated by the hotel's own photovoltaic system, situated on the roof.
Good for our climate
The innovative and globally pioneering energy solution was planned and developed by Dietmar Stampfer. In this way, it is possible for the consumption of natural gas and the associated greenhouse gas emissions to be significantly reduced which also benefits the climate. Since the year 2006, the Kolpinghaus has been proud to be able to call itself a "climate alliance company".
An international jury chose to award this innovative project as a pioneering "house of the future" demonstration building. For this reason, the project was also supported with funding from the "Haus der Zukunft Plus" (Future Plus House) programme offered by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology.
The ideal location for exploring Salzburg
The optimum location of the Eco-Suite Hotel is also superb for a relaxing holiday in the city of Salzburg. The Salzach river runs right behind the complex, along which you can also join the best developed network of cycle paths in Salzburg. This way, it takes less than 10 minutes to the city centre. We also offer bikes - including E-bikes - for hire in our hotel. Additionally, the next stop for the electrically operated O-bus is just a five minutes' walk away. Those arriving by car will be pleased to make use of the free car park in front of the hotel.
Decide on a sustainable holiday right now, and get to know the Eco-Suite Hotel in Salzburg personally soon! We will be pleased to respond to your non-binding enquiry or accept your online booking.

European Commission, Directive on Payment Services (PSD) (became law on Nov. 1, 2009) (full-text).
Overview Edit
The Directive provides the legal foundation for the creation of an EU-wide single market for payments. It establishes a modern and comprehensive set of rules applicable to all payment services in the European Union. The Directive ensures that the rules on electronic payments — e.g., paying by debit card or transferring money — are the same in 30 European countries (European Union, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein). The goal is to make cross-border payments as easy, efficient and secure as "national" payments within a Member State.
The PSD also seeks to improve competition by opening up payment markets to new entrants, thus fostering greater efficiency and cost-reduction. At the same time the Directive provides the necessary legal platform for the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA).

7 The World's Largest Floods, Past and Present: Their Causes and Magnitudes By Jim E. O Connor and John E. Costa Introduction Floods are among the most powerful forces on earth. Human societies worldwide have lived and died with floods from the very beginning, spawning a prominent role for floods within legends, religions, and history. Inspired by such accounts, geologists, hydrologists, and historians have studied the role of floods on humanity and its supporting ecosystems, resulting in new appreciation for the many-faceted role of floods in shaping our world. Part of this appreciation stems from ongoing analysis of long-term streamflow measurements, such as those recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey s (USGS) streamflow gaging network. But the recognition of the important role of flooding in shaping our cultural and physical landscape also owes to increased understanding of the variety of mechanisms that cause floods and how the types and magnitudes of floods can vary with time and space. The USGS has contributed to this understanding through more than a century of diverse research activities on many aspects of floods, including their causes, effects, and hazards. This Circular summarizes a facet of this research by describing the causes and magnitudes of the world s largest floods, including those measured and described by modern methods in historic times, as well as floods of prehistoric times, for which the only records are those left by the floods themselves. Residents of Dhaka, Bangladesh, carry drinking water as they wade through floodwaters caused by three weeks of rain in Three rivers the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna left their banks, killing more than 1,000 people and stranding millions.

8 2 The World s Largest Floods Past and Present Two complimentary types of information are used in this summary of the world s largest floods. The first is a compilation of the world's largest known Quaternary floods. (The Quaternary Period extends from about 1.8 million years ago to the present.) Some of these floods are known only from geologic evidence and resulted from special circumstances during the course of Earth s history. Nevertheless, the records of such floods shed light on the great diversity and scales of flood-producing mechanisms and their particular settings on earth and over geologic time. The second source of information is historical measurements of the largest meteorologic floods on the largest river basins in the world. These floods, which are more within the realm of day-to-day human experience, provide a background for discussing the geologic, climatologic, and physiographic settings of large meteorologic floods on a global basis. primary source of landscape-shaping floods. These floods include the 17 million m 3 /s Missoula floods along the Cordilleran Ice Sheet margin in western North America (fig. 2), giant floods along the margins of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in eastern and central North America, and more recently discovered giant Pleistocene Epoch floods in central Asia. These large ice-age floods involved tremendous volumes of water, enough that their rapid discharge into the oceans may have affected oceanic circulation, and hence, global climate. These floods all resulted from rapid release of water impounded either in (1) preexisting river valleys dammed by ice or (2) proglacial lakes formed along glacial margins. Similar but much smaller floods have occurred historically, including the 1986 flood of 105,000 m 3 /s resulting from the failure of the dam formed by Hubbard Glacier across Russell Fiord, Alaska (table 1). The Largest Floods of the Quaternary Period Table 1 and figure 1 summarize the characteristics of 27 freshwater floods that had flows greater than 100,000 m 3 /s (cubic meters per second) during Quaternary time. Undoubtedly, many more floods of these types and magnitudes have occurred but have not yet been studied or reported. Nevertheless, this admittedly partial list serves as a starting point for some basic inferences on the settings of the largest floods in Earth s history. The largest known floods of the Quaternary Period had peak discharges of nearly 20 million m 3 /s and resulted from breaches of glacial-age ice dams that blocked large midcontinent drainage systems during ice ages. Most of the other largest documented floods resulted from breaches of other types of natural dams, including landslide dams, ice dams from smaller glaciers, releases from caldera lakes, and ice-jam floods. Only 4 of the 27 largest documented floods were primarily the result of meteorological conditions and atmospheric water sources. However, if only historic events are considered, the proportion of large meteorological floods still rises to only 4 of 10. Floods from Ice-Dammed Lakes All known terrestrial floods with discharges greater than 500,000 m 3 /s resulted from rapid release of water stored behind natural dams or within glaciers (table 1, figs. 1 and 2). During the Quaternary Period, blockage of large river systems by continental ice sheets has been a In June 1986, Hubbard Glacier in southeastern Alaska closed off the mouth of Russell Fiord, creating Russell Lake. When the lake breached the ice dam days later, the ensuing glacial outburst flood became the largest such flood in recorded history. (Photograph by Rod Marsh, U.S. Geological Survey) Large ice-age floods occurred during glacial ages when ice sheets had advanced across preexisting drainage networks. Known cases are primarily from the northern midlatitudes, where the present geometry of land masses supported large continental ice sheets that advanced southward and disrupted large drainage systems. The largest floods (in terms of peak discharge) have been in areas of significant relief at ice-sheet margins, causing deep valleys to be filled by relatively tall ice dams that impounded very large lakes. When tall dams cataclysmically fail, such as the 600 1,000 m (meters) high ice dams for the Kuray and Missoula floods in Asia and North America (table 1), very large peak discharges result because of the exponential dependence of discharge on breach depth.

Most of the largest known floods of the Quaternary Period resulted from breaching of dams formed by glaciers or landslides. See table 1 for details of each flood.
10 4 The World s Largest Floods Past and Present Figure 2. The late-pleistocene Missoula floods in the Pacific Northwestern United States were some of the largest ever to have occurred on Earth. The floods resulted from the repeated breaching of an ice dam formed from a lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet that blocked the present-day Clark Fork River and created an immense lake known as glacial Lake Missoula. The floods coursed across northern Idaho and eastern Washington, ripping up basalt flows and depositing large boulders along their paths. (Photograph by Jim O Connor, U.S. Geological Survey) Basin-Breach Floods Filling and spilling of large closed basins can also cause immense floods. Several times during wetter periods of the Quaternary Period, hydrologically closed basins have filled with water. Once a rising lake overtops its basin rim, spillover can cause rapid erosion, resulting in release of a large volume of water into adjacent drainages. Such was the case for the Bonneville flood of North America, which resulted from Pleistocene Lake Bonneville (the ice-age predecessor to Great Salt Lake, Utah) filling the Bonneville Basin, overtopping and eroding unconsolidated sediment that formed the drainage divide at Red Rock Pass, and the spilling northward into the Snake River Basin (fig. 3). Nearly 5,000 km 3 (cubic kilometers) of water was released at a peak discharge of about 1 million m 3 /s during incision of about 100 m of the alluvial barrier. There is evidence for similar floods from the many other closed basins in the North American Basin and Range Province. Figure 3. The Lake Bonneville flood of about 14,500 years ago resulted from nearly 5,000 cubic kilometers of water spilling out of the Great Basin and into the Snake River drainage. At a sustained peak discharge of about 1 million cubic feet per second, the flow filled the 100-meter-deep canyon and overflowed the basalt uplands of the Snake River Plain in southern Idaho, stripping soil from a 5- kilometer-wide swath and carving immense cataracts where flow reentered the canyon.

11 Floods Related to Volcanism 5 Geologic records also document tremendous marine floods into tectonically closed basins. The largest known example is the flooding of the Mediterranean Basin through a breach developed at the Straits of Gibralter an event now recognized to have caused the faunal upheaval used by early geologist Charles Lyell to divide the Miocene and Pliocene Epochs. More recently, William Ryan and Walter Pitman, of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, proposed that the Black Sea Basin was flooded about 7,500 years ago by water from the rising Mediterranean Sea when it overtopped and eroded a divide at the present-day Bosporus Strait. Ryan and Pitman (1999) further speculated that this event was the biblical Noah's Flood. A common element of these floods from and into hydrographically closed basins is that they all occurred in semiarid environments during times of radically changing hydrologic conditions. Enormous terrestrial freshwater floods are generally associated with sustained wetter periods that cause basins to fill. Likewise, marine floods into closed basins such as the Black Sea are most likely during times of rising sea level due to global warming and deglaciation. Large closed basins are preferentially located in tectonically active regions within the arid subtropical belts. In these regions, long periods of negative water balances allow basin development to proceed without continuous overflow and incision of the flanking topographic divides, thus creating the potential for large water volumes to accumulate before descending over and eroding basin rims during rare times of basin filling. Likewise, episodes of marine floods into closed basins are mainly in semiarid areas, where high evaporation rates keep water levels well below sea level, thus providing the necessary elevation difference for cataclysmic inflow of marine water. Floods Related to Volcanism Volcanism has been directly or indirectly responsible for 5 of the 27 largest global floods (fig. 1). Some of the largest volcanic floods resulted from eruptions melting snow and ice, including the largest known historic flood caused by volcanism, of about 300,000 m 3 /s, which accompanied a subglacial volcanic eruption at Katla, Iceland, in 1918 (table 1). A 700,000 1,000,000 m 3 /s flood down Jökulsá á Fjöllum, Iceland, also caused by a subglacial eruption, occurred about 7,000 years ago. This 1996 jokulhlaup (literally "glacier-burst") in southeastern Iceland (top) was caused by a volcanic eruption under the Vatnajokull glacier (bottom). The glacial meltwater produced by the eruption poured into a nearby subglacial caldera lake and subsequently floated the overlying ice cap sufficiently to quickly release about 3.6 cubic kilometers of water. Peak discharge during the flood was about 50,000 cubic meters per second. The largest jokulhlaup in recorded history, in Katla, Iceland (table 2), had a discharge of about 300,000 cubic meters per second at its peak, 6 times as large. (Photographs by Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson, University of Iceland) Volcanic eruptions have also caused floods by means other than direct melting. Debris dams formed during volcanic eruptions by lava flows, lahars, pyroclastic flows, and landslides have blocked drainages, allowing lakes to form and breach. A flow of about 260,000 m 3 /s coursed down the Toutle River, Washington, about 2,500 years ago when a landslide associated with an eruption of Mount St. Helens blocked a river valley and the resulting ancestral Spirit Lake breached cataclysmically. Similar floods would have been likely after the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruptions if mitigation measures had not been undertaken as the modern Spirit Lake rose against the 1980 debris avalanche. Large floods from breached volcanogenic blockages also resulted from the
12 6 The World s Largest Floods Past and Present eruption of Tarawera Volcano, New Zealand, about 700 years ago, and from the Mount Mazama eruption in the Oregon Cascade Range about 7,700 years ago. Large historic floods in conjunction with volcanism have been reported in southern Mexico, Japan, and Alaska. Additionally, at least two large Quaternary floods on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, resulted from breaches of lava dams. Floods from breaches of water-filled calderas and craters have also caused large flows, including a late Holocene Epoch flood of about 1 million m 3 /s from Aniakchak Volcano in Alaska, a flood 1,800 years ago from Lake Taupo, New Zealand, and a late Holocene flood from Newberry Caldera in Oregon. Floods from Breached Landslide Dams Failures of landslide dams not directly related to volcanic activity were the cause of 2 of the 27 largest floods (table 1). Dam-breach modeling indicates that a flood with a peak discharge of about 540,000 m 3 /s, probably the largest flood in recorded history, resulted from breaching of an 1841 rockslide that temporarily blocked the Indus River within the western Himalaya, Pakistan. Similarly, there is stratigraphic evidence of a flood of about 220,000 m 3 /s from breaching of a landslide dam across the Columbia River in western Washington about 500 years ago (fig. 4). Figure 4. The Bridge of the Gods landslide slid down from the north wall of the Columbia River Gorge sometime between 1400 and 1465 A.D., blocking the Columbia River to a depth of meters. Breaching of almost the entire thickness of the landslide dam caused a flood of about 220,000 cubic meters per second, about six times larger then the largest meteorological flood of the last 150 years. Deposits from the flood form a distinctive marker bed all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The last remnant of the dam was bouldery Cascade Rapids, the namesake of the Cascade Range, now drowned in the pool behind the 24-meter-high Bonneville Dam.

13 Ice-Jam Floods 7 Landslide dams can form in a wide range of physiographic settings, from high alpine debris avalanches to quick-clay failures in wide valley floors. The most common mechanisms triggering dam-forming landslides are rainstorms, rapid snowmelt, and earthquakes. Landslide dams can be unstable and subject to failure because they have no controlled outlet. The vast majority of dam failures and ensuing floods result from overtopping and incision of the blockage, generally beginning soon after impounded water first reaches the low point of the blockage. Despite representing only a small percentage of the world's largest floods, breaches of landslide dams are a significant hazard. There have been at least six historic landslide dam floods with peak discharges greater than 10,000 m 3 /s. Most of these large floods were associated with tall blockages of large rivers, including cases where breach depths ranged up to 150 m through landslide dams that were as high as 250 m. Similar to the case of glacial dams, the potential peak discharge through a landslide dam increases exponentially with blockage height. Consequently, landscapes that generate large landslides that in turn form tall blockages in confined valleys have the greatest potential for extreme floods. Landslide dams can dwarf human-constructed dams and therefore produce much larger floods. The largest landslide dam on Earth is the 550 m high Usoi landslide dam in Tajikistan, which created Lake Sarez. The dam formed as a result of a large earthquake in This dam is nearly twice the height of the largest constructed dam in the world today, the 300-m-high Nurek rockfill dam, also in Tajikistan. The largest flood documented from failure of a constructed dam is the Teton Dam, Idaho, which failed in 1976 by piping (erosion through the dam) and for which the peak discharge was about 70,000 m 3 /s, less than half the peak discharge of floods resulting from the landslide dam failures listed in table 1. Ice-Jam Floods Three of the world's largest 27 recorded flows were ice-jam floods on the Lena River, Russia and this does not include the "unprecedented flooding" of May 1998 for which we have been unable to obtain discharge information. Floods on large rivers from ice jams result from "breakup jams," in which dislodged river ice accumulates at constrictions or river bends, forcing ponding upstream and rapid release of water when the ice dams breach. Such was the case in April 1952 on the Missouri River, North Dakota, where an eroding ice dam resulted in flow increasing from about 2,100 m 3 /s to more than 14,000 m 3 /s in less than 24 hours. Usoi Dam in Tajikastan, formed by a landslide in 1911, created 16 cubic-kilometer Lake Sarez, the largest lake in the world resulting from a landslide. Five million people live in the valleys downstream of the dam. Even partial breaching of the dam could cause catastrophic flooding. Complete failure of the dam could result in the deadliest natural disaster in human history. (Photograph courtesy of NASA) Ice jams, like this one on the Yukon River, Alaska, can cause severe flooding when impounded water overflows the stream channel upstream and when breakup of the jam suddenly releases water downstream. (Photograph courtesy of the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs) Extreme ice-jam floods are most common in highlatitude, north-flowing continental river systems like the Lena River and adjacent large river systems of northern Eurasia, and the MacKenzie River of North America. Large poleward-flowing rivers are especially susceptible to large breakup floods because headwater areas may melt before downstream areas, increasing the potential for large blockages.
14 8 The World s Largest Floods Past and Present Large Meteorological Floods In the tabulation of Quaternary floods with peak discharges greater than 100,000 m 3 /s, only four floods primarily due to rainfall or snowmelt make the list (table 1) the floods of 1953, 1963, and 1976 on the Amazon River at Obidos, Brazil, and the 1870 flood of 110,000 m 3 /s on the Yangtze River, China. The Amazon River, draining by far the world's largest basin, with an area 7 million km 2 (square kilometers), including a vast portion of the equatorial South American Cordillera, can generate tremendous floods by virtue of its immense size and tropical location. The Yangtze (Chang Jiang) River of China is also a large basin that receives substantial tropical moisture. The paucity of meteorological floods in this list of largest Quaternary floods does not indicate lesser significance of meteorologic floods. Indeed, meteorologic floods are by far the most common of the types of floods in the human experience, affecting parts of the globe every year. Such floods can bring good, such as the fertile soils formerly brought to the Nile Delta by annual flooding. However, large floods are mostly known for their catastrophic loss of life and property, such as the floods on the Mississippi River in 1927, when several hundred casualties resulted, the Columbia River in 1948, when the town of Vanport was destroyed, and the Yangtze River in 1931, when nearly 4 million people died from flooding and ensuing famine. The town of Vanport, Oregon, was destroyed in May 1948 when the Columbia River flooded due to rapid melting of large snowpacks in the Columbia and Snake River Basins. (Photograph from Oregon Historical Society [negative OrH: 68809], used by permission) Records of the largest historic floods from the Earth's largest drainage basins (figs. 5 and 6, table 2) show that, in general, larger basins produce larger floods. Variation within this general observation owes partly to a pronounced geographic pattern of larger unit discharges (defined as peak discharge per unit basin area) in the tropics, primarily between latitudes 10 o S and 30 o N (fig. 7). The largest floods in large basins within the tropics are primarily derived from rainfall within areas affected by tropical cyclones or strong monsoonal airflow, such as the Brahmaputra, Ganges, Yangtze, Mekong, Huangue River Basins, or eastward-draining continental basins, such as the Amazon and Orinoco River Basins, which intercept easterly flows of tropical moisture. The distribution of relatively large floods is skewed northward of the Equator by the preponderance of land in the northern hemisphere, promoting northward migration of monsoonal moisture flow driven by orographic lifting over large mountain belts, such as the Himalaya in south-central Asia. Several large basins in the tropics do not produce relatively large peak discharges. These include the Congo, Niger, Chari, and Sao Francisco River Basins, which drain large areas of low relief or are isolated from zones of major precipitation. Likewise, many of the horse-latitude (20 o 40 o N) and midcontinental drainage basins outside areas of seasonal tropical moisture influxes do not produce large flows compared with more tropical basins. Examples include the Murray and Darling River Basins in Australia, the Nile River and Zambezi River Basins in Africa, and the Colorado and Mississippi River Basins of North America. Northward of 40 o N, snowmelt and ice jams are important contributors to peak discharges from large basins, forming a group of rivers with flood discharges greater than the apparent latitudinal limits of flood flows derived primarily from rainfall (fig. 7). Exceptional discharges on the Lena, Yenisey, and Yukon Rivers were augmented by ice jams, but relatively large flows on rivers such as the Columbia and Dnieper Rivers indicate the importance of melting snow to peak flows, especially in midlatitude basins with substantial relief. With the present configuration of continents, there are no southern hemisphere river basins greater than 500,000 km 2 with peak discharges substantially affected by snowmelt. Floods, Landscapes, and Hazards One observation evident from consideration of the world s largest floods is that the incidence of floods caused by different processes changes through time.
15 Floods, Landscapes, and Hazards 9 Figure 5. This map shows rivers with drainage basins larger than 500,000 square kilometers. Map numbers are keyed to table 2. Figure 6. In general, larger river basins produce larger floods, but larger unit discharges in the moist tropics can result in floods of disproportionately large size. Numbers refer to basin numbers in figure 5 and table 2. Most of the largest documented floods in the past 100,000 years resulted from the failures of natural dams, but conditions that caused some of the largest of these natural dams, such as the large ice-dam failures at the margins of continental ice sheets, are now absent. Consequently, earth history contains "flood epochs" times when climate and topography combine to produce higher-than-typical frequencies of large floods. To produce floods with discharges greater than about 1 million m 3 /s, times of advanced continental ice sheets and rapidly changing global water balances are required. In many locations, these outsized floods from previous flood epochs were dominant forces in establishing regional drainage networks and landscape patterns that persisted into times of fewer extreme floods. Other geologically controlled cataclysmic floods are probably more evenly distributed in time, at least at time scales of hundreds to thousands of years. Consequently, the future likelihood and magnitude of such events can be more directly guided by analysis of past events. Within active volcanic provinces, the likelihood of large volcanic eruptions and the consequent floodgeneration processes probably does not change significantly over hundreds or even thousands of years. Similarly, the frequency of large valley-blocking landslides probably remains relatively constant over such time scales.

The following is an instance of the peak fundamental profile of communication reflexion and is certain as the simple So-Humability contemplation sweat. It is a descriptor of mantra speculation and combines some breathed and shibboleth reflection.
Start by sitting snugly on the floor or on your bed and absorption your public interest on the "third eye" (the county involving your eyebrows).
Follow your exhaling in and out for a microscopic or two but noting the growth and crash of your organic structure along near respectively breath. Spot the intuitive rhythm of your huffing.Post ads:

Discussion in 'XenForo Questions and Support' started by José Guedes, Oct 7, 2010.
How to change avatar resolution?
Anyone knows how?
Are you referring to the size (dimensions) of the avatar in the postbit?
I would assume he is, yes. But the postbit just downscales the Avatar in general, which I believe by default can be up to 200×200 px in size.
I still hope the Avatars get an overhaul... Support both transparency and .png.
In the posts is too small, my old forum software had it running at 150x150 so, if I apply the old avatars they look bad...
You will need to make template edits if you want to increase the size of the avatar in the message template.
The maximum size on the profile page is actually 192x384 px so your members would be better off uploading new avatars anyway.
The problem with how it is now, is that the avatars gets resized and converted to jpg. For photos this isn't much of a problem, but for logos and such it will just look bad, unless you make it specifically in 96x96 dimension. I also prefer making avatars in png to maintain image quality. An admin set avatar dimension for postbit, and that you can use png images gets my vote.
Exactly... I've been saying for a while now that .png Avatars need to be supported. I'm really not a fan of how XenForo does Avatars, to be honest. I wish it was like the other board software... Just have one pic for a profile picture and then another one for an Avatar.
Or just make it so one image of any format is formatted to a fixed size.
That would be fine too.
I've had a complaint today that a members animated gif wasn't animated next to his posts Any more. Worked fine on his profile though.
That's correct.
Only the first frame is used for the message template due to the conversion process.
I found a setting in the xenforo.css template, it made the avatars bigger but it covered up the usernames and crossed over into the message field
vb 3.8 handled avatar resizing easily, Im surprised this is an issue
What in beta software? I'd reign in your expectations as there are many other issues, as there are with all unfinished software. Did you use VB4 Gold? Now THAT had problems
Yes, but I got 4.0 without paying since my license was still active
I installed it local, first thing I tried was resizing the avatars and of course it did not work lol
It seems like a pretty basic function, I dunno
It's more that avatars are approached very differently, more like FB. What we have now is the designed behavior, though I understand that people may not consider it ideal, coming from a more traditional approach.
That approach actually makes sense to me. I actually like the "uniformity" of having set sizes. From what I saw in the xenforo.css there are apparently 3 set sizes? L for the member card, M for the postbit and S for the thread list? I would however like to ask if there's any possibility of having those uniform, set sizes being admin controlled though as some (myself included) may want the M setting to be larger than the current 96 pixels?
Will there ever be some way to use the more traditional profile pic/Avatar system, or is this something that will require third-party mods? Because I really do prefer the more traditional approach, and judging by this thread, so do many others.
Oh, and I'd also like to note that I'm not against having fixed sizes, either, but I don't like that everything is forced into .jpg. What I think would work better is allow for any format (such as transparent .pngs), and just resize them to w/e, even if it causes obvious pixelation.
It's the only thing I really dislike - I can't use animated gifs.
We should be able to set the avatar sizes according to user groups. Forcing us to use this horrid facebook method is not good.
Separate names with a comma.

Romney changes tune on FEMA funding
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has changed his tune on FEMA funding, telling reporters in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy that he would not eliminate funding for the federal disaster assistance agency.
In contrast to his immediate and very public reaction to the Benghazi consulate attack on Sept. 11, the former Massachusetts Governor has stayed quiet since Hurricane Sandy clobbered the eastern seaboard of the United States and avoided answering questions about his earlier opposition to funding FEMA.
Read more: Analysis: FEMA & federal disaster assistance funding threatened by sequestration, GOP budget cuts
According to the Washington Post, Romney finally broke his silence on Wednesday night when he issued a short statement expressing his support for FEMA.
"I believe that FEMA plays a key role in working with states and localities to prepare for and respond to natural disasters," Romney said. "As president, I will ensure FEMA has the funding it needs to fulfill its mission, while directing maximum resources to the first-responders who work tirelessly to help those in need, because states and localities are in the best position to get aid to the individuals and communities affected by natural disasters."
Romney's statement was a glaring reversal from his earlier position that FEMA's funding should be eliminated to help reduce the federal deficit.
"Instead of thinking in the federal budget what we should cut, we should ask ourselves the opposite question: What should we keep? We should take all of what we're doing at the federal level and say what are the things we're doing that we don't have to do and those things we've got to stop doing," Romney told CNN's John King when asked about whether FEMA's funding should be extended during the New Hampshire GOP primary debate.
During that debate, Romney also suggested that disaster response should be the exclusive responsibility of states and even implied that the private sector should play a larger role in handling disaster assistance.
"Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better," said Romney.
Romney campaign held Hurricane Sandy donation drive in Ohio
On Tuesday, Romney's campaign staged a Hurricane Sandy relief event in Dayton, Ohio, where Romney compared the donation drive to his post-football game clean-ups back in high school.
"We had a football game at my high school and the football field afterwards was covered with all sorts of rubbish and paper goods from people who had a big celebration there at the game. There was a group of us that was assigned to clean it up. And I thought, 'How are we going to clean up all the mess on this football field?' And there were just a few of us. And the person responsible for organizing the effort said, 'Just line up along the yard lines. You go between the goal line and the 10-yard line and the next person between 10 and 20, and then just walk through and do your lane. And if everybody cleans their lane, we'll be able to get the job done,'" said Romney. "And so today we're cleaning one lane, if you will. We're able to gather some goods for some people that are in our lane. We're going to help them."
Read more: Transcript: Gov. Mitt Romney's remarks at a storm relief event in Dayton, Ohio
While the campaign's donation drive highlighted the types of assistance that citizens and private organizations can offer, it also underscored the fact that no amount of canned goods, clothing, and supplies donated can repair massive public infrastructure damages caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Fixing flooded roads and tunnels, un-passable bridges, damaged ports and subways, and downed electric power lines in multiple states require the resources and leverage of the federal government, which is where FEMA plays a crucial role in helping state and local governments obtain the necessary federal resources to repair and rebuild.
Despite his anti-government ideological rhetorics, even Romney had to acknowledge that private donations can't solve all the problems on such a massive scale.
"We won't be able to solve all the problems with our efforts this morning. A lot of people will still be looking for goods even though we've gathered these things," said Romney.
