Why does Avatar size have to be so Small

Post by Melissa11520 »

To whom it may concern, I'm new here and want to add an avatar photo to my profile. The only problem is that that dimension requirements are so small, I can't put any of my pics in, let alone have anyone recognize what's there. Can you please increase the dimensions that are allowed.Thanks.

Sincerely,

Avatars are up to 80x80 pixels and 30kB - this is enough so that avatars are not too large that they are either a.) distracting, or b.) consume too much bandwidth.

You can resize a picture on your PC to upload or use one of the many free online tools to do it.

What about GIF avatars that are 80x80? I know you don't want GIF files that are linked to other websites to avoid any issues but just to upload one here would be more convenient. There has to be some leeway for GIF files and keep them at 80x80...
