Avatar Max Size

[ksg91]

Can avatar size in forum be increased? 11 kb is too small! Most avatars are greater than 11 kb. and 110 pixel is also very small!

btw why it's limited ?

100kB x 15 posts per page ~= 1.5MB.

Just for avatars. Visit 20 threads, 2 times a day.

1.5MB * 20 * 2 == 60MB*.

have I mentioned, just for avatars ?

* = Assuming you're visiting threads where a user has posted only once, else it *should* be fetched from cache anyway.

Not 100kb but 20kb could be possible, right ?

I don't know. It's not upto me. We've had this discussion before viewtopic.php?f=14&t=40956&p=479502&hilit=avatar+size#p479502

i also thought of 20-25kb

[gki]

Considering browser cache and gzip compression (although the latter won't matter much) I'd say it is reasonable to increase the limit to 25KiB

Users with low-bandwidth can disable avatars in the Forum UCP.

^Like I do.Always disable the images.
Atleast increase the size to 20kb(although I don't have a avatar ).

1. Maybe around say 8000 members are using avatars here and are facing no problems with the size.
2. This has been discussed before, as pointed by cpg.
3. Thread closed.
