Size limitations on Avatars

Post by Ambush Commander »

For uploading images, there are limitations, but external links, the images are not checked for proper dimensions at all. I was wondering why I couldn't use the awards thing as my avatar: I was trying to upload it, and thus it was checked.

So, I'd suggest while keeping the filesize limitation for uploads, scratch the dimensions limitation, or make it more liberal.

Practice what you preach.. if the awards you give out can't fit in the standard, the standard isn't very realistic.

Just to mention, the award icons weren't exactly super high-rez..
