O.P. Huh?  Maximum size of avatar?
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 :)

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
