I'm sure this is somewhere, but since I can't find it, and I stink at searching, I'll ask here, and hope some kind soul will point me in the right direction. lol
I uploaded my avatar a looooong time ago, and I cannot for the life of me remember the size restrictions for member avatars. So could someone please help me out here. I'd like to load a new one and need to know what size I can use. Thanks in advance!

Can't remember kb limit. Probably 15???

I don't know the official pixel size limit, but I note that StaceyG (a site Admin), and some other members have avatars of 130x130 pixels, I have not seen larger, so am guessing that 130 is the limit. It would be nice if they displayed this information in the place where you add the avatar. I have no idea what the file size limit in KB is.

I think my avatar of the moment is 130x130, so I'm guessing that is the pixel limit.
I'm going to have to guess that the kb limit is probably 15, since that is the limit for thumbnails in the galleries. But I agree it would be nice if it were stated on the account page where you add your avatar.

No, it is at least 130x130.

yeah, les is right. it allowed me to upload 130X130, even tho it sez
"Avatar
Upload an avatar / member icon
(will resize to max of 100 x 130 pixels and 25kB)"
but it froze the gif-anim for some reason.
next I tried 150X150. it was resized to 130X130. however, 130X130 allows even more gif-animation fun 8-)~

Thank you both for the info :)
Miss Nancy, I see you have a quote there, where on earth does it say ..."upload an avatar/member icon, max 100x130 & 25kb"? I looked everywhere for that info and couldn't find it, lol
Did you have to try to actually load an avatar?

it won't accept the above gif-anim at 130X130 (22,409 B), but it will accept the same gif squished to 100X130 (24,128 B). as you are staring at the above gif, think good thoughts. every day in every way, you are getting better and better.
