Great. Now all you have to do is disable remote avatars and remove the height/width setting in the img tags in the template (since the uploader checks the remote size, and people may want avatars smaller than 64x64).

Working fine here.

I have to wonder if turning off remote avatars will cause anyone using one to have it stop working.

Probably. But if they're using it remotely they can just specify the URL to upload it from their existing webspace assuming it's under the size limit.

Agreed. There is no reason for it to be there. It totally b0rks the aspect ratio of any avatar that isn't 64x64.

Compare this:

To the way it looks under my name.

wewt!

Any chance you could make the "unread" icons on sticky topics and announcements a little brighter? I'm always leaving a forum and being like "why does it still show as unread?" and then coming back to find that I missed a sticky thread that had been updated, because the icon doesn't stand out very much.
