Ok, so who screwed the pooch this time?

New avatar specs must be 150 x 150, with 10 kb max? What are we meant to do - upload a jpeg of our favourite colour?

Correct me if i am wrong, but didn't this change from 200 x 200, and a (much) larger file size?

My new avatar eagerly awaits....... :roll:

Surely 20Kb isn't too big, even for dial up users?? :? :?:

I like Dan's the best out of the new and improved avatars. :wink:

When do the limits kick in for the signatures? :mrgreen: :roll:

It was changed about a week or two ago, i noticed i changed my avatar and a day later went to change it again, and sod, the limit was reduced.

Yes, its pretty hard to fit 150*150 into 10k but you should just be able to manage it - JPEG at quality rating 6.

Maybe some nimcompoop complained about the avatars, causing execssive downloads. Dont these people understand the meaning of browser caching! :smt102

Well, I think if there is a sudden concern with the amount of data that has to be downloaded on each webpage, then the chatroom could use a tune-up too.

:wink:

Kind regards,

Nope. you will only download an avatar once

That would be dependant on web browser preferences, MTB, not the website.

That is correct Ducky, but 99% of people are not going to change the default settings.

I like the grape :D

Always said you had a good sense of style Juan. It would be good if a few other could follow suit with the "grape", then there would be a bunch of us.
Thats terrible..... :roll: :| :smt009 :smt015

Gee 69, you made the post of the year yesterday with the Hogan story, and then you deflate yourself with that one. Tragic
