Avatar Restrictions/Limitations

why can the pictures only be 20 kb
thats so small
anyways can anyone tell me how to make my pictures fit inside 20 kb
then post it
it will help a lot thanx

20kb is the size of the avatar that I've imposed. Not a very big problem on storage, if I've 100 users who use this max limit, its only 2mb of storage. Main reason would be the bandwidth caused when you post messages. Not everyone has broadband and we should keep the pictures within reasonable sizes.

i think the subject to this thread should be avatar size and not icon...

Yeah, tell em elt! :applaud:

For avatars.....
Although the max width = 150 & height = 100.
I've noticed that some user's avatars seem to exceed these limits and appear overall larger than others.
Howcome?

If you link you avatar to an an image host like Photobucket or Uploadit the only restriction is the width of 150 pixels... The 150x100 restriction only applies if you upload your avatar to Jdorama...

Oh and welcome to the boards! :D

Applies to avatars uploaded only.

For externally linked avatars, the width will be fixed to 150 pixels regardless of original size.

And thanks for the advice about the avatar restrictions too.
