 * Hello!
 * I would like to change the size of avatars on comments.
 * my style.css:
 *     ```
       div.avatar { position: relative; float: left; margin: 0 10px 0 0; }
               div.avatar span.overlay { display: block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 41px; height: 41px; background:
       ```
   
 * I’ve tried to change 41px to bigger but nothing has changed.
 * My comments.php
 *     ```
       <?php wp_list_comments(array('type'=>'comment','callback'=>'mytheme_comment','avatar_size'=>50,
        'reply_text'=>'Reply')); ?>
       ```
   
 * I’ve changed this value from 50 to bigger, but with no luck.
 * Can anyone tell me what should i change to get bigger avatar?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * without seeing the problem, it is hard to tell which factor is restricting the
   size of your avatar.
 * maybe you need to make both changes at the same time?
 * if you post a link to your site, pointing to a post with comments and avatars,
   someone might be able to check this.

 * that is the section from the html code in the browser;
 *     ```
       <div class="avatar">
       				<img src="/avatar-avatar.jpg" class="avatar avatar-40 avatar-default" style="width: 40px; height: 40px;" width="40" height="40">
       ```
   
 * a:
    there is an inline style with the avatar; maybe defined in ‘mytheme-callback()’
   in functions.php?
 * b:
    the avatar size seems to be 40px; have you changed this here: `'avatar_size'
   =>50`
