When I try to upload an avatar it tells me I'm limited to 50kb - shouldn't I have double that given access to Premium?

You don't have a platinum membership.

Fair enough - gained access to the premium board when I got lit up as a spec mod so just assumed it came with it or something. All good!

This is still happening.

And seriously, are we ever gonna be allowed a reasonably sized avatar? 191.4 KB. is a ridiculous limit.

It's like 100px

How do you need more than 200kb?

All the best gif avatars have made it work fine. Besides the less gif avatars the better probably they're usually just distracting - yours is the good kind of distracting though.

Shout outs to El_Scorcho's old We Like Portz gif avatar. GOAT.

And imagine how good they could be if we didn't have a limit from the dark days of dial up.

I always find it a struggle! Had plenty of perfect avatars but can't even get them to the 95x95, let alone the large profile size (192x192?). Always a couple hundred kb over.

Reduce colours, and around 80x80 will look fine.

That's what I use. Crop, resize and reduce but doesn't always do the trick with gifs that have a massive original size.

Much easier if we have a bigger limit

Only one. The one that lifts the minimum size to 1MB.

That path is blocked.

1TB?

Just a full page ad. Click the X to remove.

I am getting stats for them. If they are not generating much revenue compared to the irritation to users I will ditch them.


It is set to load on only half of the pages, and for a max of 3 times per user.

You can kill all ads with an account upgrade: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/account/upgrades

I am a premium user though - that's why I am pointing it out.
