Should Darples raise the avatar file size limit to 100kb.

I suspect even that turns off people who lack the technical knowledge to resize/drop colour quality/drop frames from a gif, or those who do have it but can't be bothered to go through with it because of the inconvenience. Do not underestimate either laziness or ignorance as deterrents.

<kyo> ok, some of my more colorful avis broke 75
<kyo> went back and checked
<kyo> though I've never had issue using them
<Petrikow> they will then get compressed by BL
<Petrikow> or vBulletin i guess

Doesn't seem like much of an issue.

This is the thing, though. Many, many people don't have them and don't bother to get them just for possibly managing to get a gif avatar. I suspect lots of people use Paint for doing their own avatars, if they do them at all.

If you can make a gif 200x200 in the first place, you won't have any problem resizing it.
