I believe I have enabled users to upload their own avatars with a maximum width of 150px and a maximum height of 200px. Please let me know if there are any problems.

I think perhaps the file size limit could be risen a tad, otherwise the larger the avatar, the lower the quality to stay at the limit.

Otherwise, this a very useful feature, and I'm sure people will like it.

That's a good point plus many won't know how to decrease file size.

And i am one of these people lol.. So can anyone explain to me how to do it..? Because i have found some avatar/icons i'd like to use, but it says that they are too big..

EDIT - Oh and i love the fact that we can choose our own avatars :) Thanks for fixing that RJ!

I'm gonna start making an avatar but for now the file size is just a wee bit too small for my liking. Any way that can be changed?

I'll probably be keeping this one as my avatar for most of the fall/winter. I tried to find out who made them but I can't seem to find the original site. I used these for the Corner Gas forums a few years ago. So cool! I like yours too. Btw, the logo for the forum is awesome. Couldn't be better

EDIT: Scratch that idea, I'm using one I made for now. If you can't read it, it says "Fine leather scares me"

I have doubled the file size for avatars from 6kB to 12kB. I really have no idea what would be a good limit; if the size limit is too high, pages here will take longer to load. So we will continue to play it by ear.

I think 12 is okay so far, I haven't had much problems.
