~JingGM 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Starting next week, we'll disable the ability to use a URL for your avatar, you will have to have the image on your computer and upload it to the forum. Why? Because using a link, the forum can't control the size of the avatar...some users have avatars that are 10 MB big, and 10 users with that = hell for slow internet connections. So my point is this: download whatever you use for your avatar and upload it manually before next week, so you won't lose it. Jing[GM] ~ Forum Admin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~elguason 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 Because you have at your 'cache' the images and also at the moment there are only few images with more than 200kb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
