A while back I joined the board officially with a contribution (a small give-back for the invaluable help I've gotten here). I know I saw a list of benefits that were something like larger avatar, larger PM box etc. but I can't find it anymore and I'm not sure if my account was changed to reflect that. Is 75 the standard number of PMs? How would I tell if I can do a larger avatar? Any guidance appreciated!

If no one stops by with an answer soon, I'll pass your query on to tech support mods.

I have 50 PM's allowed with my account. For the avi, you have to check your control panel -- the specs for allowed sizes are there. This is what mine says:

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 125 by 125 pixels or 64.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

So, if you have an allowance for a larger than standard avatar, it would be bigger than that.

I have seen the post you are talking about previously and can't find it either anymore. I gave a small contribution recently and although the sise of the inbox or avitar doesn't bother me I thought it strange that there was no acknowledgement at all of recieving the contribution.

Not sure about standard avatar sizes, although I do know you can't upload a custom avatar until you reach 50 posts. If you become a benefactor member, you can have a custom avatar with less than 50. I do believe the standard PM box number is 50 though. And, as I've gathered here, this increases to 75 if you become a benefactor member.

If you go here it will give you a bit more info: http://absolutewrite.com/forums/payments.php

Cooee, that IS a bit odd. I put you in the "benefactor" user-group, though. And thank you. :)

Aha, I see that my PM box is at 75, so that probably means I can use a bigger avatar too. The avatar isn't a biggie until I feel moved to change it again. I'm kinda partial to Mini-Me so it's going to take a while before something else grabs me enough to make a change.

But heck, I would donate even without the benefits. Just the assistance I've received from this forum and the people involved make the membership a tiny price to pay to support this invaluable resource.
