[UPDATED] Devs' Corner: May 2026

Its 96x96, stupidly tiny. And I think its the same KB as well.

My free use I had on my account that I deleted earlier made me take down my whole graphics topic A. K. A 250 AVATARS AND 50 LAYOUT. WHAT?!?!

Ah, I see, thank you! 96x96 is... quite a strange number.

I am also not getting notifications about workshops or crops!!! And no, it is not cache and cookies as I have cleared them many times! Please fix that problem as well. I am not the only player with the problem for sure

Gif avatars are limited to 50kb, still images are 500kb. I believe team pfp's are 40kb.

We have a new Admin named Baki if I'm right.

*stares at her small avatar that is now badly aligned with text*
*screams in frustration*

Change them back to 120 x120px or make sure the text next to it in forums is aligned please x.x

Howrse. Change the avatars back to 120x120, please. 120x120 was already tiny. Or at least, tiny to work with. Why make it worse? If people, such as graphic makers, are suffering from a change like this, as well as players who are in possession of 120x120 avatars, hard work has been wasted. You can't candy coat that.

Fortunately, I am still able to use my 120x120 avatars. I am unsure if anyone else can, but that's the way it is for me. Besides being an annoying kind of tinier, I can still use my 120x120 avatars.

Still... why make unnecessary changes like this, when better changes can be added to the game? No one asked for an avatar adjustment. If no one's asking for something... it's probably because no one wants it. Simple.

Please, change it back.

Can see avatars have changed back, but the background box behind the avatar, registration date etc. on the player page is now a different size?

Why should people have to zoom in if they can see everything else fine? I don't have visual problems with this website normally so zooming in simply to see people's avatars while everything else is made giant is quite irritating. It would be kind of counterproductive to make everything else on the screen less aesthetically pleasing just so I can make the avatars more aesthetically pleasing. I have to zoom in to 125% to get avatars back looking how they looked, and now everything is so big that it's annoying. When you zoom in, all the images that are at their original size become distorted from being made bigger. I go to my profile page and my layout is now distorted, so I'd have to zoom in and out every time I wanted to look at an avatar so it wouldn't affect other images. Even if I do that, other people won't, so everyone will see my avatar as it is distorted into 96x96 instead of how it actually is and it doesn't look as nice. I'd like people to see my work as I created it. If you think having an outline around your avatar is so bad that it prevents you from having a circle avatar, now imagine your avatar being distorted into being 24x24 pixels smaller, which is significant when it comes to an already small avatar. It's a whole 20% smaller. Gifs already suffer from distortion because that's just the nature of them and what happens when you animate, and now my gifs are even more distorted due to this change. I could go into Photoshop and resize the avatar to at least make it slightly more crisp, which wouldn't solve all the problems of it being sized down (text would still be too small, colors would still not look as nice, etc) but at least it wouldn't look as blurry. (It still doesn't look good. It looks like what happens if you sharpen a low quality image it too much, not a natural crispness.) But if I did that, then I couldn't just zoom in as you say because if it was actually 96x96 and I zoomed in, it would then become distorted from being made bigger. Now because of this people will start making avatars that are actually 96x96, so zooming in to make them look normal won't work if 96x96 is their actual size. Most people don't like this change, and if most people either dislike it or don't care for it, then it should be changed back. Unless Howrse did this for functional purposes like correcting lag. If it was done for aesthetic purposes, it should be changed back because many people are unhappy with it and I really don't see who it benefits besides the tiny minority who like it better this way and don't see that it's a problem that graphics designers and people with previous avatars are affected by it. People who make/have pixel avatars and avatars with intricate borders are even more affected than I am because those types of graphics are very detail-orientated and require the crispness of their original size to look their best and sizing them down most certainly messes them up.
