Avatar size

mmm, is it possible to increase the size of a users avatar, its limited to something like 10KB, can it be increased to about 50KB, that should be enough for almost any avatar methinks

I know the avatars were working before but not sure if that feature still is operational. I have tried one that is 79" x 79" and is only 3.80 KB and it doesn't show up. I suspect this feature has been turned off.

Maybe theyre trying to keep disk space usage to a minimum. Too bad though, I generally associate peoples posts to their avatars
