avatar kb limit.

[Jurv]

I've not got a clue about any of the technical issues that might come due to this, but is it really that bad to raise it a little? surely it'll be nicer for the VIP members.

Put it this way, the first page of this thread is only 114kB currently.

Think it would be a gr8 idea

[Mr-Trainor]

I don't really think this is entirely nessecary, it seems to be set at a fair amount already .

[Chris]

I'll agree with Tom on this one. It would slow down loading times quite a lot and isn't worth it imo!

WELL yr all rubbish anyway so it doesn't even MATTER.

sulks.

Personally i wouldn't use the higher limit. And as Recursion said, if it's raised, then on a thread page it could add up to a very large amount. If it's gona make pages load slower then i don't agree with this.

For comparison the signature limit is 400kb, changing the avatar limit to 150 will have a minute performance difference. It only has to load it once per page and normally you end up with just a few different people posting in a page. I run on forty posts per page and I see no latency issues even with "4x" the avatars. Not to mention browser caching etc.

We're not on dial up anymore people. The only way to fill up all that 150kb is with a GIF and if you've got any sensible browser it'll finish loading that last.

yeah what he said!!!!!!!!

I'm sure it wouldn't be as much as an issue if it was only available to people with VIP? or whatever.

It would just be nice to have it raised a little for people who want to use those larger files, it would also be another reason to want to enter competitions for VIP.
