avatar kb limit.

[beth]

i was just wondering if there was anyway habbox would consider raising the kb limit on avatars? i'm not talking about the actual 150 x 150 size of the avatar i mean the 100kb limit. it's incredibly small for GIFs and like, you'd kinda expect a little more as a VIP member?

even if it was only raised by 50kb it'd make a big difference.

100kb should be more than enough. Imagine you have 10 posts on a page, that 100kb then turns into 1MB, which is actually a relatively large web page already

From a technical stand point, bad idea.

I think this is a really nice suggestion, there has been a quite a lot of times where the file I want to use has been too large for the forum.

I'm not sure if this would cause any problems? but yeah, it would be nice if it was raised a little.

idk really know how tech works, but plenty of our competitors (i won't name names but i think you can guess a few of them) allow much bigger avatars and they don't seem to have any problems with pages loading or whatev.

What do these other lovely sites have them set to?

i don't have accounts on the others because well haha yeah, but hffm is 150x150 (64kb) as a new user and it gets bigger with VIP etc. and i know the others are bigger you can just tell browsing through.

Didn't they already raise it? It used to be 58.6kb or something. Kind of stupid profile pictures have a smaller limit than avatars.

[beth]

idk really i think in terms of avatar/postbit layout and design we're quite lacking behind other forums, but that's just me. i don't really want to get flamed into the ground for not knowing tech but i am just suggesting perhaps itd be NICE.

Profile pictures fair enough, but avatars, nah.

150kb, 10 posts per page, 1.5MB before you've got all the skin images and content on the page it self. I cba to find out the size of pages at the moment, but it's big enough.

frankly the pages don't load half the time anyway so i'd rather when they finally did load they looked prettier.
