Avatar size increase?

Splinter · Jul 6th 2018

Is there any way to increase the permitted avatar size in the forum? 100Kb seems very small and some members like to use gifs which can be quite a lot more in size.

Thanks

You can set this in the user groups. In the tab User Profiles after the signature settings.

Thanks Darklord

Is there a file size that it's not safe to go beyond?

For example some avatar gifs are around 6Mb.

Edit

I have a member who wants to use a gif that's too small at 20Kb. Can anything be done about that?

It depends on your max_upload_filesize and some other PHP variables. In general, I've set a limit to 10 MB.

There is no error prone restriction but you should take in mind that some users will load your page on mobile and have to download the full 6 Mb file. This is a lot on mobile connection. Usually images should be as small as possible.

Thanks for your replies.

It's a shame there isn't a way to alter the minimum file size.
