Good idea, like chop the images from the bottom and stickem on the side.
That's what I felt when I saw them, too much height as it stands, would drive me nuts if 10+ forum members with them posted in the same thread because of the added page of scrolling.
(for 1280x1024 users anyway ;/ )
Regardless, love the graphical design to it, warm, sharp, and appealing, none of that crap I see on other forums with their XBox/XFire GamerCards.
