Maximum size of avatar? by Thor on 08-08-2006 at 04:44 PM

Okey, I do not mean the dimensions, but the actually size, how many KBs that's allowed. It didn't say anything about that in the rules.

Thanks :)

i had one that was about 200kb and it got removed, the one i got now is about 100kb so i think thats how much you can have.

Depends whether you are linking to it (like hosting it on imageshack) or uploading it to the forums.

If you are uploading it too the forums then it is 17KB i think. Linking ot it i don not know.

If I remember correctly, any size within reason (hosted somewhere else) is acceptable as long as it loads in a reasonably quick time for anyone. I suppose it's a thing of moderator/admin interpretation too....

Try to keep it under 70kb as a rule of thumb.

If it loads slowly, It will get axed and you will need to cut it down more.

Avatars & Signatures: Large dimensions and file sizes are not allowed because they can affect the layout of forum pages. The rules for posts apply to avatars/signatures as well.
  • Maximum avatar width: 150 pixels.
  • Avatar and signature images must work, and must load reasonably fast.

A couple of your random avatars were over the 100 KB limit... please don't use that script again until all the images are under 100 KB. Thanks. :p
