Title: Avatar maximum filesize Post by: froggy on October 22, 2011, 12:09:16 PM Does the forum have a maximum avatar filesize? Not that I want to upload a large-sized one myself but I've just noticed someone with a 151kb avatar. As a one-off on a page it's not individually huge, and it looks nice but surely if everyone was to have largeish filesize avatars it would be a bit heavy on bandwidth.

Title: Re: Avatar maximum filesize Post by: froggy on October 23, 2011, 01:09:13 PM I just mean that if everyone used avatars that size (or larger if there's no limit on the forum), just downloading avatars on a 20-post page would be 3 megabytes. If you used the "All" link to view all posts in a thread that would add up to a lot more. Seems sensible to limit the size af avatars to save bandwidth for both members and the server.

You're also assuming that every post on a page will be different people (very rare) and that every will have a big avatar. There are plenty of people out there with no avatar.
