eGO forum Avatar question

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 125 by 125 pixels or 35.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

Just curious, but why is this so small? (I'm not complaining ) I have the feeling that this is because of bandwidth preservation and/or the amount of people that use the forum. Anyways, was just asking cause I can't use my avatar/sig duo I have been working on :biggrin: Heres the ava lol (un-shrunk)

the forums requirements for pics and such are, interesting - but i would agree with you that it must be something with band width. Remember - vBulletin can only take so much and we have 25,000 + registered users and about 22k with sigs and avatars.....

yep, i decided that instead of using that for an avatar, it will be one part of a two part sig (the .gif with a border and a larger jpeg/png/etc with the same or similar border). And I will just place the two next to eachother, then maybe work on a non-animated or like 3 frame gif for and avatar haha.
