default avatars

The default avatar looks like this on one's profile page.

So why, in friend lists, do these avatars appear as small, brightly colored, squat figures with odd facial features? See image:

Notice the second to left and far right.

  • yeah--I know why the avatars are on default, but why are they displayed as those little squat things in friend lists?

    On a related topic, could we make the default avatars a little--well--brighter? For example, something like THIS:

  • Those old-style avatars _are_ their actual avatars.

  • so why does it show up as i.imgur.com/1Vxte.png on the profile page?

    I'm sorry, I think I'm missing something here :)

  • It's a bit of both: their avatars have been reset to the new default ones (what you see on their profile page, which is generated in real time from the flash) but we only generate a new png preview image for their avatars when they save after editing, and they haven't done that since their avatars were reset.
