I sometimes view this site at a friend's house (he has a 56k, yes, a lot of people still have those) and it's nice and fast. Besides, if you know your graphic programs it's easy to get very high quality images well under the size limit. Check out my pic for example. :)

I really appreciate the limit. Go one some forums and you can spend half of your day loading everyone's .bmp signatures! :P

having a server donated to all of us to enjoy for free does NOT suck :D so if we have to have limits on images so we don't suck bandwidth like some kind of cheap vacuum then so be it. and if i we could get better server performance by not allowing avatar pics at all you'd see a new crusade from me :D

If you have photo shop theres an option that says save for web use. i love it, you practically tell it what file size to be!

It's funny how many people know they have the right to remain silent, yet never do.

Work with it. It is very much possible to get the size smaller and still keep a high quality.

I agree - the limit is fine as it is.

Yes, if it were to be higher, it would increase loading times. :(

Im quite cool with the file size as it is...nearly all non-animative pics with the max. height and width get below 30kb in jpeg format...

And as grad already said...if we would upgrade it to 100kb then the server had to work 3x more on EACH user...which would result in much longer loading times..

And dont forget about those ppl WITHOUT dsl (yes there are few) ...they would suffer the most =)

They COULD, but it takes up more space and gets even more annoying. Are you suggesting something for a pic that has animations?
