My avatar was carried over from the previous forum. I got the bright idea to change it. That's where the problems came in. If you try to upload a file larger than 5KB, you'll get an error message and you will have lost your carried over avatar. It won't resize it automatically. So if you like your current Avatar DO NOT CHANGE IT.
That's exactly what happened to me! I can't get my pic resized small enough pixel wise to upload it again. Guess I'm going naked for the time being
This is 200 x 200:
I think it's too big for an avatar and I'm on a 1920 x 1200 monitor (27"). I've built and migrated a few vB forums before and can understand what the admins are going thru (and can sympathize
). 20kb is small but a good balance for both users and server. Most forums I've admin'd, the avatar size was 100 x 100 or 150 x 150 and usually 20kb and it worked great for most users and still kept the db running smooth.
One thing I would like to see would be user's post count, location and join date under their avatar like before.

I snagged my old avi pic before it was shut down ( old ecf) and the new ecf wouldnt accept it so I picked another pic of my coil (1100KB) and it worked.... lets figure this one out.....
The old avatar won't be deleted if you uncheck the 'delete current avatar' box, before attempting to upload a new one.
I really cannot understand what is happening here - I have changed my Avatar a couple of times since the new forum went live
<<-- This piccy is 747KB on my computer it uploaded no problem

Your 200 x 200 box is misleading. I can make a picture 200 x 200 that is much smaller. It's the pixel count that matters.
I grabbed my sig pic from the wayback machine (internet archive) for ecf. It took some hunting though.
It's possible that I may not have actually replaced my old avatar with the new one.I dunno...
In fact, it's probably likely.
This puzzles me... the displayed avatars are only 96x96 -- if you resized the image to 96x96, you should be able to get it under 5k.
I'm also puzzled in that my own came to 5.6k, but it gave me no grief when I uploaded it.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I realize it's a small thing, but bumping the size made such a nice difference in my Avatar!
It should be across the board. Not sure why you would still be having a problem. Hopefully someone will be able to help !
