Avatars - Big & Tall - Enables large-sized avatars in posts with tall aspect ratio, good for portraits.

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> EXTRA.css

Add this:

Code: 
.thread_view .messageList a.avatar img,
.thread_view .quickReply a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .messageList a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .quickReply a.avatar img
{
	width: 142px;
	height: auto;
}

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> message_user_info

Replace the avatar code:

Code: 
			<xen:avatar user="$user" size="m" />

With this:

Code: 
			<xen:avatar user="$user" size="l"...

Great now I can revert changes since I had edited the core files for mine.

You only have to edit core files if you want to change the original sizes of m, l and s avatars, created with GD library or ImageMagick. Or use an add-on.
 
done this already immediately after porting from vbulletin, I use 150 x 250 avatars in postbit and vistor panel
 
I can't get this to work for some reason. I put the code in the Extra.css & changed the Message User Info code bit.

I am using m instead of l for my avatars. I changed my m to 150px. I don't know if that is the problem or not, but it could be. Do I have to use l?

Edit: Apparently, I do need to use l.

Yeah, use the large version of the image. Medium avatars are only 96x96 and up-scaling kind of sucks. Rather than up-scaling the medium avatar these instructions use the large avatar and then downsize it.

This is looking odd in the mod XenKing Directory. I am trying to figure out what to look for so it uses the same rules. Any ideas?

In EXTRA.css, add the additional code in red:

Rich (BB code): 
.thread_view .messageList a.avatar img,
.thread_view .quickReply a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .messageList a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .quickReply a.avatar img,
.sfreview_view .messageList a.avatar img
{
	width: 142px;
	height: auto;
}

.messageUserInfo
{
	width: 170px !important;
}

.message .messageInfo,
#QuickReply
{
	margin-left: 186px !important;
}

Possibly too many styles installed. Delete any excess styles.

And check the log for a detailed error message:

Hmm. That may be a problem with your template data. Try running this query to remove the record:

Code: 
DELETE
FROM xf_template
WHERE title = 'message_user_info'
AND style_id = 7;

And you should probably run /install after this to rebuild the master data.

I just noticed that the user avatar in the message to post is still oversized. Any idea what that would be?Screen Shot 2013-04-25 at 11.33.55 AM.webp
