DJ and another mod contacted me with regards to my avatar, this being some 6 months me using this avatar at this forum.

So, if I may ask, does ANYONE have a trouble with my avatar?

I already asked for the other person who contacted me to make me a smaller version of it.

I was just interested, since I can't believe anyone having a real problem with it.

Besides, after you've once downloaded it, it doesn't need to be downloaded again since it stays in the memory.

And sorry if I am insensitive to 56k users. It is not my intention.

Tight new restrictions.

10kb.

Hardly excessively tight, given the number of images displayed on these forums in Avatars and signatures.

Just so you know there are people around here who still have to use 56K.

Broadband is far from 100% coverage in the world today and there are some people who have no choice but to use 56K.

TosaInu wanted this board to be usable by everyone, even 56kers without users being lagged out, hence the 10K policy.

On its own a 60k image might not seem like much, but on a busy forum thread where each user post displays a 60K image collectively they will lag out anyone not using broadband.

Just to make it clear. Not the avatar but a picture in his signature was too large: 207kB.
