Avatar File Size Question

Brent · Post by **Brent** » Sun Oct 19, 2003 12:13 am

is it possible you might consider a larger Avatar File size?

I have a nice animated gif i want to use, but getting it down to 15KB is impossible.

Is it possible you might consider something like 50KB or maybe even 100KB as a max size?

Thanks!

I suggested raising the av size limit for premium members, but doing so would require hacking the vB code. Since like sig images it's an across the board setting.

Here is the Avatar I wanted to use:

The one on the left is the butchered version to get it to fit into the current file size limitations. I had to reduce it from its original 27 frames all the way down to 7 frames, plus making it smaller, AND reducing the colors

15 posts per page... times 15 avatars = 225K of image transfers just for AVs

People on dialup wouldn't be able to browse if the limit was 50-100K per AV.
