Avatar quality change?

[Floris]

Does anybody know how to change the quality of the avatar compression?
And if I update it in the code, do I need to rebuild caches or something, or do I need to re-upload my avatars?

I'd like to know that too, suggested it on the official XF community but no answer from the devs so far.

If anyone knows, say so, I'd also really like it.

Hey guys,

If you open up:

library/XenForModel/Avatar.php

and find the line:

public static $imageQuality = 85;

... Simply change the 85 to a higher value. But to be honest, the increase in quality isn't much greater - it just gets rid of a few ugly image artefacts.

Also, you'll need to re-upload avatars for this to work. I have tested it on my own forums. Can't see any negative impact yet.. but I wouldn't recommend increasing the quality on more active boards... naturally.

Thank you - It's much appreciated that you looked into this and explained it to us here.
Since the alpha/beta the quality has changed a bit, they already look quite a bit sharper, less artifects.
