Total Posts: 1676 | yes, the limit is 4MB, but that's just to prevent upload-attacks on the website. realistically the limit should be 200KB for avatars. (think about it.. on some forum pages you download 10-15 different avatars... if everyone had an avatar like you, that would be 20MB of images just to view a forum page)
