Ridiculousness!!

pwhodges:
Pictures on the Internet do that.  I've pretty much given up trying to educate people about picture sizes and hosting, because I would have no time left if I did this for every case that could be improved. 

But I am about to move in on a couple of over-large avatars (there's one that's about 2MB - just for an avi!)

Masterpiece:
Isn't there a filesize limiter on the avatar upload?

pwhodges:
Uploaded avatars are recoded to 100x100px if larger, but there's no specific check on file size.

Avatars linked from external files are not touched, but the html is forced to display them at 100x100px.  I could set the forum to upload and resize external avis that are bigger than 100x100, but I haven't checked what the effect would be on animated gifs.  Also, I imagine this would only take effect at the time a new avi is specified (otherwise the server would be uploading external avis all the time).

When I've felt the need to get someone to reduce the size of their animated gif avi, I've suggested they use this program which does an OK job.

Masterpiece:
GIMP would do the trick too, no?

pwhodges:
For those who can use it, I imagine so (I don't have it installed to see).
