Where did ya find that quote Scotty? That size isn't right ... it would be around 1.6 GB.

It's awful big even if the author meant bytes instead of kilobytes... it would still be over 1.6 MB ... if the author meant kilobits and assuming an 8 bit byte it's just over 200kb ...still unreasonable IMHO ... a single avatar could take 3 minutes to load for a dial up user

I would try to keep an avatar to 30 kilobytes or less (30720 bytes).

Gifworks.Com has a great freebie online tool for optimizing .gif avatars.

Uhhhh from the Edit Profile page. #-o ... The place you go to upload a picture from your machine.
You wouldn't be questioning Greg's computer related skills would ya?

well what's going to happen to the bouncing pig? Maybe someone who avatar sucks (Larry, Greg, Nick, Finney) could get the jiggly pig from
BFD!

BFD: did the original have the lines in it? this might have happened during resizing/conversion
