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!

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.

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 :mrgreen: ).

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.
