Well, what I'd like to see are "user icons" and "user profile images". User icons have a standard size, e.g. smaller 60x60, but larger user profiles icons (say, 240x120) to offer more of a "headshot" style profile view that users can stick onto their main user page.Bravo said:If the worry is the height of the avatars, why not go with something like ....
200 x 60
Enough room to do something, yet no giant gaps in posts/shouts/etc?
Personally I think 100x100 is still rather small, but with the format of FA, it does seem rather big since the individual pages are just so chock full of stuff.

The user profile image would stick to their profile, allowing people the ability to at least get some customization in there. At least, that's what I'd do if I were coding...
