    Go to Google Image search.

    https://www.google.ca/imghp

    Search for your image keyword.

    Just above the search results, click "Search Tools"

    In the sub-menu which appears just below, select the drop-down "Size", then select "Exactly".

    In the popup which appears, enter the width at 75px and the height at 75px.

    Click "Go".


    -=Alternate Method=-

    Get the admin to pull his head out of his fucking ass and set actually reasonable parameters for an image avatar.

    Lol no fuck you, this shit needs to load every time someone opens a thread. If I have to tack up 30N bytes onto each thread view then you're getting small avatars or not at all.

    Get some sense of balance, kid. It's not all gloom and doom, like you make it out to be. Reasonable decisions make the day, not knee-jerk reaction declarations and the-sky-is-falling prophecies.

    I do have a sense of balance spectral, the world is bigger than your home internet speed in canada on your preferred user agent. Avatars are not essential for the functioning of this site, animated avatars are definitely not. Working on well on GSM or similar connection is significantly more important.

    Just make them hotlinks. I wouldn't download a car, but I would steal someone elses bandwidth.

    It's not my bandwidth that's the concern, nor the storage. Servers are cheap in 2016. The issue is client bandwidth, users will still need to download the images and it's just going to take longer if they need to hit a bunch of new domains. Plus I'd like the tracking-conscious user to be able to disable embedded images but leave avatars on.

    Look spectral, I made the decision I thought was good. I'm open to argument, if you can make a good design/technical argument for it I'll increase the size limit, I've made plenty of other changes on request. You haven't presented any argument though, you just opened by calling me names and haven't made a substantive point since. Tell me what the added value of a larger size limit is and why that benefit is greater than the tradeoffs and I'll make it so.

    In reality 75p is the default avatar size and Lanny is too incompetent to figure out how to change it.

    Oh, shut it. I'm actually impressed. I really like this new layout, and it loads very well. Code's good, man. Why fix it?

    Lanny conveniently leaves out the fact that file size and picture size are not the same thing.

    Truth be told, I don't take very much seriously, although there are grave exceptions.
