ONE love, blood, life
So I was trying to change my avatar today and I am informed that my file goes over the 7000Byte limit. That's 7 KB. That's too small. I want to put an animated GIF for my avatar and it's hard to make an animated GF 7KB or under. I understand if you don't want files like that slowing down the Interference server...so don't allow files of more than 7KB if the user is uploading the avatar to the server. But if the user is getting the avatar from another site, such as an image uploading site(i.e.imageshack), why not just link to the image directly rather than grabbing it and putting it here? Sites like that usually don't have a problem with hotlinking, that's why they exist. That way, there would be a way to have larger-sized avatars without killing the Interference server.
The avatar I want could be anywhere from 30KB to 500KB. I really want to be able to link offsite to it.
