New Plurk Changes: Images Too Big? Fix it here…
Posted on 11. Jan, 2009 by Olivia Bell in How To.
In the last 24 hours, Plurk has been updating some visual stuff – changing the size of your profile picture, adding new search features and other little bits and pieces…
However today I noticed two changes:-
The First:
The size of your display picture – for some it’s too big, for others, not so much. I personally don’t mind either way, but I know a lot of people find it annoying.
The Second:
The size of your Friends and Fans icons have increased in size hugely. They used to be nice and small – admittedly a bit too small, but now they’re incredibly massive, which I find terribly annoying. So I resized them to be a bit smaller and therefore less annoying.
2nd change: Big Icons:
2nd change: Small(er) Icons:
If you don’t know how to alter CSS, please read on – otherwise, skip to the bottom where the two differen codes are. 
How to:-
- Login to your Plurk Profile.
- Locate the “Edit” button next to your “My Profile” link on the top left hand side of your Plurk profile.
- Once the Plurk pop-up has appeared, notice the tabs: General – Picture – Customize profile.
- Select “Customize profile” – here you will find the large text area box which (if you’re using a custom made layout) should have text inside.
- Copy the codes I have below, pop them inside the text area and then select “Save and update”
The Friends/Fans Icons Code:-
.friend_holder .user_link{
height:25px!important;width:25px!important; }
.friend_holder img{
width:25px;
height:25px; }
The Profile Picture Code:-
#profile_pic {
width: 70px;
}
#profile_pic:hover {
width: 170px;
}
The only thing about the profile picture code is, there is no big image – when you hover, you won’t see the big picture like we used to. Update: I have now added the hover for the profile image – you may want to amend your codes – see below
Also, I’ve entered the size as 70px – if it’s still too big, or too small, just change the size of it 
I wouldn’t suggest going beyond 195
Ps. Many thanks to AZJazzJ for prompting me regarding the profile picture code and also Fronbow for the profile picture hover code

Hi Paulo,
If you just want it to fit the timeline, it’s roughly 370 (height) x 1300 (width) – good luck!

for this part:
body, html {
background: (URL)
}

It really depends. Try something like 1300 x 1000

Hi Olivia,
I added you on plurk as well.
To get the hover on the profile pic it’s easy!
[code]
#profile_pic:hover {
width: 170px;
}
[/code]
hope the code tags work here?!

Hi!
You angel! Thank you very much
I’ll edit my post, add it and link to your profile – many thanks

Glad to be of help
Obviously you can change the hover width to anything really, so it can be made to fit in with an existing plurk theme, and not break any layouts!

The most important thing is that I’m shown as the first of your friends. Quite proper and appropriate.
