Because if people were using that kind of huge avatars, loading a page with 20 posts would mean downloading 2 Megabytes in avatars alone. It would cause the forum to be very slow for users who doesn't have very high bandwidth, and increase the load on the forum servers considerably.

I don't know why *any* picture that size *ever* would need to be over 25K. But perhaps that's because I started making web sites in the era of 14.4 K modems, and 28.8K was considered very fast when it arrived... At that time you tried to keep pictures below 10K, and not more than two pictures on a page.

I actually browse the net with my 44k dialup and i don't have any problems browsing forums which have 100k limit for avatars obviously not everyone is going to use a 100k avatar , and most of the members here use broadband so i guess they wont notice the difference

Imagine the increase in bandwidth charges a month.

You can go to your Control Panel and uncheck the boxes that display avatars, signatures etc.

NO, cause standard size for 99.98% of animated avatars is 50Kb minimum.... the forum has it set 19.5KB... at least change it to 50...

the world is upgrading and we are behind!
