Avatar kb size?

Options
Hello :wave:

I was just wondering if there is any chance of putting the file size of avatars back up to 19.5kb, its down at 14.9kb right now and although its not much it can sometimes make all the difference when doing a new avatar.

I wanna play with mine a bit :j

Thank you :)

    14.9kb is more than twice the size allowed by some forums. I suggest that you try "playing with" the colour depth i.e. reducing it makes the file size smaller, with very little visual effect on an avatar.
