Guys, can we increase the avatar file size to at least 100 kb? 60 kb is just too small even for 175x175. Thanks!

I've managed to stay below 60kb for 175x175 still image avatars, have you used jpg? They stay below 60kb whenever I use it.

It's not truly an avatar until I can cram a gif of Planet of the Apes into a 250 x 250 frame! :LOL:

Did I say 'Planet of the Apes' perhaps I should have said the 'Avatar' movie... THEN it would be an avatar, XD

Who wouldn't want to do that? .... said no one ever... XD

I never really saw an issue with 60kb (mainly because you can cheat the check and link an avatar uploaded elsewhere :evillaugh:), but more is good I guess :LOL:

JPG does not have transparency and even when I reduce the image size the file size is still somewhere above 60 kb. :?

Ohh you wanted transparency. There was always the option to upload elsewhere (like Gale said) but Steve has increased the size now so I think 100kb will be enough for most avatars xD
