Hi guys. Actually, the avatar has nothing to do with the hardware this time. The biggest issue is that when people use huge avatars, we have no control over the page load times on the forums. In light of that, some dialup users may extremely slow page load times because some people with custom avatars keep them at like 100-200k . It was decided a long time ago not to allow custom avatars because of this. I'm actually seriously considering removing them altogether again because I get at least one email per week asking about this.

Right, but not everyone does that, and even though the forum will resize it to fit, the FILEsize of the picture would remain the same. So in essence, you would be downloading a 100x100 pic that is 200k. Seen it time and time again.
