| Avatar Sizes Any chance of raising the limit on Avatar sizes? I got a couple that are dimensionally correct but I can't seem to squish them down enough on file sizes. If it is a user bandwidth issue, could the default be NOT to show signatures/avatars? That way it is the user discretion to view or not view them? If it is Hexus bandwidth issue, could the limit not be raised for offsite avatars? Follow Me: A Co-Written Blog About Our Japan Trip, and More. Latest Entry 2009.11.30: Time  Feedback welcome!

 | Re: Avatar Sizes IIRC avatars are BLOB'd (ugh) into the database. Unless there's a better mechanism for storage I doubt I'll be increasing the size limit. Leave it with me though and I'll look into it. |

| Re: Avatar Sizes personally i don't think off site URLs for avatars is a good idea. Hexus is nice and fast, but other sites aren't, and if it's going to mess with load times etc. I think it would be bad |
