    it would be really cool if there could be an extension that allowed users to alter the position of where the avatar is going to show up on the forums

    liek right now on this Lussumo Community forum it automatically focuses in the center of the image u link to

    it would be cool if u could for example move it to a corner, zoom in, zoom out , etc.

    stuff like that

    is that even possible?

    or would it like requite the use of flash?

    ...or you could adjust the picture accordingly before you add it? pic

    Of course it's possible as you suggested but it would require added complexity.

    Neat idea

    The shifting could be done by inserting a bit of CSS inline to set the background-position property. Shouldn't be too hard. The hard part of that would be to design the interface and get the zooming options.

    The idea is nice, from a user's perspective and I can imagine a handful actually using it. But tend to doubt that it is worth the effort.
    Moving the picture is probably easy, with a little bit of javascript. But then zooming already requires something that is almost a graphics editor, since it must stretch the image visually, provide the interface and even sharpen it and save it to disk, you get the picture.
    Just use one of the many editors out there. The good part is: that also works on any other forum or whatever you need a picture for. ;)
