avatar sizes in HTML and CSS don't match
In my home page, the top of the sidebar says "Hi, Mislav Marohni?" and displays a small icon that is my avatar. HTML for that IMG tag says the icon size is 24x24 px and the PNG image is indeed that size. But, CSS says the size is 31x31 (screen.css, line 368), which takes precedence and resizes the icon a few pixels up making it look bad.
I’m unconcerned

Inappropriate?Disregard the question mark in my last name; it seems GetSatisfaction doesn't handle Unicode well (although they *do* serve pages in UTF-8)
I’m disappointed

Inappropriate?"14 employees are listening and participating". That's a crock.
I’m participating. What are you doing?

Inappropriate?cwillu: We'll do our best to help get this problem fixed or addressed. Twitter employees do participate in these discussions, although they admittedly have quite a few discussions going on these days.

Inappropriate?Yay! Participation! A sure sign of life!
I’m feeling the need to balance the smiley count.

Inappropriate?Minor note: I just took a look at screen.css and noticed that the code that's causing the problem appears to be on line 386 (instead of 368).
Specifically:
.side_thumb {height:31px; width:31px;}

Good work! Until now they weren't able to find the line in question :P -
LOL. I figured I'd post it as a subtle way of bumping the thread (well, maybe not-so-subtle now that I'm writing this. haha!).

Inappropriate?It looks as though they've fixed it!
When I glanced at my sidebar today, I found I'm much more focused than usual.
My Graphic Properties popup says the image is MyPic_bigger.gif (3318 byte: that's actually my full-size 73 x 73 avatar) with 31 x 31 pixels.
So it's being scaled on-the-fly (Why? Is that less work for Twitter than storing & transmitting a 31 x 31 graphic? Or just simpler to code that way?).
I'll leave mdy and Mislav to find and describe the changes in the code!
I’m pleased!

Inappropriate?I think they used to have a smaller version of all our avatar images at 24x24, which they use to display avatars of people we're following in our sidebar. And it was the smaller pic that they were displaying before, just scaled to 31x31.
Now it seems they've decided to use the larger versions of our avatar pics, which are 73x73.
So my guess is they're just using the larger version of the avatar image and didn't make any change to the css code.
Mislav will probably know better. I'm just guessing. LOL.1 Comment Add a comment

Yeah, you're right.

Inappropriate?or they are using only one image at 73x73, and scaled down to 31 using CSS when in avatar.
the image used in twitter.com/username is 73x73.
so simple, yet so difficult...1 Comment Add a comment

Yes, that's exactly what mdy described. I'm fine with this, because scaled-down images don't look so ugly compared to ones which are scaled up.
