    OK, I am a new member and the thing that first bothered me are avatar suggestions.

    It is said that suggested size is 400x400 pix, but allowed size is only 30kb. I tried with set of 3 different avatars, wasted half an hour of my time, and still didn't manage to get decent picture.

    30kb is barely enough for stamps. Avatar allowed size must be bigger it is immposible to get picture of 400x400 below 30kb.

    What image file format are you using?

    Also, you may want to consider using Gravatar... No size restrictions and then you have a global avatar for all sites supporting it (one change changes it everywhere).

    Gravatar is a great service. You only have to upload your avatar once. Then you can use it on multiple forums.

    It's been upped to 75KB for new members and 100KB for established members. Although Gravatar is probably still a better option regardless...

    Great, now my bird dosn't look blurry any more, and new members will spend less time in configuring the avatars :)

    I contributed a little to forum already, can you give me some thx, so I can begin posting in Domains sections?

    Little tip, calling people assholes won't get you any likes either.
