The custom avatar feature has been disabled to save on bandwidth and server load.
This feature may be reactivated once we get a new server.

cute.

Well, consider yourself lucky. They were gone for a long time and I almost never brought them back for this very reason.... that and people would use 500k files reduced to 20x20 for an avatar and cause a 10 second page load to turn into 2 minutes for dialup users.

I guess the Chevy guys have to make up for their inadequacies in certain areas (like power) by providing computer toys.

Glad you have a sense of humor Can't you set a limit on avitar sizes
I use photobucket to host my pics and you have the option to resize pics to very small
This would be my avitar

Nope. Won't happen. sites like photobucket, when they go down, will cause problems with custom avatars not being loaded which on some browsers will keep the entire page from loading. In turn, I get complaints about our site being slow or not work when it's not even our fault. Sorry, but it's not ever going to happen.
