Your avatar is 1MB in size. Please choose a different one.

yes, the limit is 4MB, but that's just to prevent upload-attacks on the website. realistically the limit should be 200KB for avatars. (think about it.. on some forum pages you download 10-15 different avatars... if everyone had an avatar like you, that would be 20MB of images just to view a forum page)

And then of course you have users like me that are on dialup, we would never be able to see said pages. Well, maybe not never, but it would probably take around 3 hours to load the page. T'would not be fun.

tifreak: Was on a forum once where someone had posted about 15 full-size screenshots of Crysis... thread was about 22MB to load. Ho. Ly. Crap.

So basically the .gif avatars look so poor because I'm on Dial-Up?

No, your connection speed has nothing to do with the quality of a picture. Connection speed only affects how fast/slow you can download things. If a picture looks bad, it's because it was badly made.
