"Though it allows icons larger than 32x32 now, the Account>Personal Information page still says you're limited to 32x32. Additionally, it seems to have broken user icons on my forum entirely. (Though I'm still the only user of my forum, so my sample size is not large...)"
Exactly, I was wondering the same thing...
"You can enter any valid URL to an image here, such as: http://www.mywebsite.com/myicon.jpg Your icon will appear next to your name in discussion comments and on your account page. Your icon will be automatically resized to 32 pixels wide by 32 pixels high."
So when the docs says "Icons are no longer fixed at 32px by 32px" that means that its going to resize everything to 32x32? That would make more sense if that feature was not already there in the last release.
i think for the users setting up a forum, he has "Icons are no longer fixed at 32px by 32px", but for the end user, what I posted above will make them understand that you can put any size you want, but ultimately it gets resized.
I guess it was a caching issue with the stylesheet, or something. Works now.
But the thing with the icon sizes is still a bit confusing... if it's larger than 32x32 now it crops it? When I had a larger icon in there it centered it and cut off the excess.
The instructions on the Account>Personal Information page could be made clearer.
